GE Cafe CDWT980VSS Fully Integrated Dishwasher - Stainless Steel

• PureClean wash system with 5-stage filtration

I adore this dishwasher! Is it weird to love an appliance so much? I bought this along with the Cafe range and microwave. It's beautiful, sleek and modern and looks great in my kitchen. The controls are on the top of the door and are very easy to understand. One of the greatest things about this dishwasher is I can fill it up with an entire container of detergent! It gives a little warning light on the control panel when the detergent starts getting low. Super convenient!

This is also the quietest dishwasher I've ever seen (heard? not heard?). Sometimes I'll forget if I started it or not and have to actually put my ear against the counter to hear if it's running. Even then, it may take a little bit to figure it out. This was a huge benefit as I live in a loft with the living room/kitchen/dining room all open.

The top rack slopes so that on one side you can put taller glasses and the other side, shorter. This allows you to get taller items in the opposite side of the lower rack, like cookie sheets.

Overall, great design, great function!

Buy GE Cafe CDWT980VSS Fully Integrated Dishwasher - Stainless Steel Now

I purchased the GE CAFE dishwasher in March of 2010 and within two years the keypad stopped working completely. When a GE technician was out for repair they told me this model has a design flaw. It was designed to be installed with a 1" gap between it and the countertop so that it could release the heat so it wouldn't short out the keypad since the keypad sits at the top of the door. First of all, that was never explained when purchasing the appliance (and i did have it professionally installed), and secondly how would you raise an existing countertop by 1"? I strongly advise you stay away from this model since even if you get it repaired the problem is only going to repeat itself....over and over again. Unfortunately I'm out $1400 plus another $200 for the repair charges. Also, this dishwasher doesn't do anything spectacular, my old dishwasher that cost $300 did the same job cleaning my dishes.

Super quiet and gorgeous!! Cleans dishes extremely well, that being said I did do a little research in regards to the new low-phosphate detergents. Since getting our new dishwasher I'm really cleaning the dishes before they go in, not because the new dishwasher isn't effective but because the new low-phosphate detergents cause the food to redeposit itself on the dishes during the wash cycle. I want to preserve this gorgeous dishwasher for as long as I can....I'm in love!! Love the hidden controls and options available for cycles.

In 2011 we purchased the Cafe dishwasher and had a few problems with it such as the "low detergent" light not going off even when refilled with recommended detergent. Another thing was that the drying fan would never shut off at the end of the cycle. It would run for days if the door was left shut even with no dishes in the washer! GE was contacted and they were great to work with in trying to solve the problem. After 4 service calls in less than a year, the dishwasher was deemed "unfixable" because of some design flaws. It seems they had created this washer during a transition in models and for some reason, the parts didn't work well together. At least that was their explanation . What did GE do? They assigned us to a customer service person who helped us to get the dishwasher replaced with the newest GE model ... free of charge. The newer model was even more expensive than the first. All the service calls and replacement parts and then a new appliance did not cost us cent! They stood behind their product! We recognize that once in a while a product is faulty, but how the company handles the situation is key. GE exceeded our expectations in helping us solve the problem! The customer service person followed up with us to make sure we were happy with the new dishwasher. It's been 4 or 5 months since the new one was installed and it has performed flawlessly. I love this dishwasher. It is quiet, does a super job cleaning, and looks really sharp

We have had nothing but problems with this dishwasher. We have tried everything from Citric Acid to vinegar. Lots of different detergents, jet dry, you name it we've tried it. I'm at the point of just trying to sell it and getting the top of the line Maytag with steam cleaning that seems to have good reviews. There is no doubt in my mind that all this energy star compliance junk has caused manufactures to make junk products.

If anyone has any recommendations I'm listening. They even sent us new parts that spin, but they worked for two weeks then died. We have average water hardness, so I don't know what the problem it. White vinegar sometimes works, but still this thing even when I run the hot water before turning it one, does NOTHING TO CLEAN.

All the dishes have stains, glasses are not near clean, and have a disgusting residue. Like a bunch of fools we purchased the 10 year warranty, but I just want to get rid of this piece of junk. We have the GE Cafe stove which is pretty good, and the refrigerator which we also like, but the dishwasher does not clear at all.

Run away from GE dishwashers, my older kitchenaid was even better.
