Well I got a G.E. Monogram/profile dishwasher and it washes great.G.E. has redone there wash arms.The G.E. brilliant clean dishwasher wash arms has big holes in it.My New one has small holes in them and more of them, there smaller than Maytag dishwasher Jetclean dishwashers.I loaded it down with dried out oatmeal and eggs on silverware and everything came out spotless.It can hold a TON of dishes..I was torn between this one and a L.G. but I have heard some good and bad things about L.G. I also looked at the Miele and could have got one but I have never had one without a grinder in it.The Viking that was dented well had some other damage they didnt notice the door was warped..I have never spent this much on a dishwasher but I wanted stainless steel inside and out..The Maytag I could have got cheaper and they were going to throw in a 5 year anything wrong warranty with it.I did like the Silverware blaster but this G.E. seems to have some extra holes on the wash arm that does the same.This dishwasher is so quite 48 D.B. and does do some strange things during the wash but I am very happy with it.I did a Bob load from hell last night and I could not be more thrilled with it so far.They had another dishwasher that had this huge blue bottom wash arm biggest wash arm I have ever seen in a dishwasher.It was a display and I wanted a new one but that was the oddest wash arm I have ever seen.

Wes congrats on your new machine !
I am with Greg on this let's see pictures of your interior please. G.E. seems they always trying out new wash arm concepts then any other manufacturer that i know of in the history i have seen about seven changes. That Blue wash arm is wild only Five jet's and two center one's i wonder how that works more concentrated washing maybe. Here is the Blue arm. |

Hey Wes!! Congratulations on the new toy. These have fascinated me for over a year since they were introduced. What cycle/options did you use for the BobLoad from hell? (I'm so flattered). That terraced/tiered upper rack reminds me of Maytag's upper rack before they became Whirlpool clones. And I've counted the rows of tines in the bottom rack, can hold a ton of stuff that's for sure!!!

Note the top arm the six holes are fake no water is forced through them. I have not been impressed with the performance of GE tall tub machines. I like the construction of them but the cleaning of the couple Jason and I have had leaves a lot to be desired. They can clog very easily there is really no disposer I had many disappointing loads come out of these machines.We have both gotten rid of the ones we had, they work ok if you don't put too much in the way of really dirty dishes in them.

Sure agree with you John, the GE tall tub I have is the worst machine I have ever used. So thankful I have a KDS18 to replace it. |

Well they have changed all the wash arms in mine at least.The holes are small very small.The stoners that put it in did not have my machine level so the pump was being starved for water.I fixed that part and it cleans even better.The bottom arm has ten holes in it that are very small and the middle has 9 on top and 5 on bottom spraying down on the silverware and plates.The very top wash arm has about 6 hole in it that I can see now I could be mistaken cause I know some of them are fake but I have not yet took a flash lite to it.The size of holes is what has me stumped me cause they are so small.I do mean small smaller than any Maytag Jetclean D.W. ever.That's what I don't get how do they not clog up.I thought the wash system in these filter the water but not all of it before it goes through arms.It does do purges now like whirlpools and sometimes it starts washing for not even 30 secs later it drains all the way and fills again but then sometimes it drains it just a little then fills and keeps washing.I do like the Steam part and how quite it is but that is hard to get used to cause it goes against the grain when you have a nice old Kitchenaid and then you have this one and and the drain is what you hear or filling but washing you don't hear much at all.I will take some Pics and post them...

Gee, I don't have that problem with my Kenmore (WP) Tall Tub. And mine sit for up to a week sometimes. But then again, I put my cereal bows in the bottom rack, I consider bowls and saucers a waste of rack real estate space for the top rack unless I need to fill up th top rack if not enough glasses and mugs.

I'm with you Malcolm!! I want everyone to know I have a dishwasher, not anothe cabinet or whatever. I wanna see little lights, timer displays, ... When I chose my Kenmo Elite, it was the highest-end miodel available with displayed controls. Anything higher in the line would have had concealed controls, unacceptable to me!!!

We used to have a store nearby called Dacor, I think. They had a kitchen design studio on their upstairs level. Well, one Sunday afternoon, a group of us were walking through the store just walking off brunch more than anything else.
You know me, I'm gonna open and touch as many appliances as I can in a given amount of time. Now, in one kitchen arena, they had recently finished a cooking demonstration of some sort. Without thinking, I reached for the dishwasher door, pulled it open, and got quite a hot splash in the face from that Bosch. Needless to say, it attracted more attention then I could ever have hoped for in a retail environment. I decided right then that I would never own a dishwasher without some sort of visible indicator that it was in operation. What if a child had opened that machine and got scalded? Malcolm |

My intention is/was not to discredit the original posters pleasure in his new appliance. Who doesn't love new?
I did look at this machine and liked the layout of the interior. But to point out, there is inherit danger in some of these new super quiet dishwashers that don't have a locking lever to prevent opening during operation. Can a dishwasher be too quiet? Perhaps we should start a new thread. Malcolm |
