New GE Portable Dishwasher: GPT225S

While looking around GE's appliance website--primarily at the new front-load washer line which has been a topic of conversation here lately--I came across their new full-size portable dishwasher that sports a snazzy stainless steel interior.

It also features a Sanitize option in addition to the Light (48 minutes), AutoSense (1 hr 30 mins to 2 hrs 10 mins), and Heavy (2 hrs. 10 mins) cycles.

While the 54-db rating is far from impressive these days, it's quieter than my Whirlpool Bowling Alley.

Most common complaints seem to be about the modest size of the interior--which comes as no surprise because it's the first thing I noticed when I replaced a cavernous 2008 LG with a 2014 TOL GE back at the house--and that the silverware basket likes to tip over when moving the rack quickly. As with the 2014 model, I'll take the two halves apart and use only one, opening up some real estate in the bottom rack. Drying is apparently not its fort�, either. Again, used to that with the Whirlpool. I'm an end-of-cycle flash-dry guy, anyway.

The upper rack can be raised or lowered.

It would be a nice step up from my BOL (but perfectly serviceable) Whirlpool.

As I've decided to keep the top-loading Speed Queen laundry pair 'til death do us part, this may be a good way to satisfy my new appliance jones without going into four figures.

I'll sleep on it for a week or two and make a decision. Or maybe I'll order it tomorrow, lol.

Checkrate/Likes 3 *New GE Portable DW* Hi Eugene, I would check this out carefully, this DW appears to be the Chinese machine that is much like the ADA compliant DWs that have been sold by many companies [ including Whirlpool ] because they are shorter inside, and also very similar to all the 18" Chinese DWs that everybody is selling under their own names. These DWs have not held up well, although they may be improving [ I am an eternal optimist ] so maybe they are getting better. The good news is it does not look like the newer US built GE DWs that have had so many issues. John L.

Checkrate/Likes 2 *should be a good dish frier* Their claim to fame is now they have new and improved drying capabilities. The 2018 GE dishwasher I bought is midline, and has performed flawlessly. No pre-rinsing, just knock off the chunks, and load. With the use of Cascade Platinum, Everything comes out spotless the first time. Couldn't be happier with it. mine has the silverware basket that can be put in 3 different places. I leave it on the door like a Whirlpool. Never have spotted silverware, or dirty stuff left on. I would buy another one gladly. Hugs David

Checkrate/Likes 1 Is it really that stark being all black on the outside and top? (!) The plastic faucet connector that's been around for decades but now appears to sport a snazzy new coat of chrome paint is just roaring to start peeling at the edges. The hose is coming out from the side of the nook rather than the practical obvious choice of coming up from the bottom? I'm sure this gem will serve many people.....
