GE Dishwasher GSD1300N

There have been many times in my life where I was glad I saved my money and went for a basic, no-frills appliance. Unfortunately, I have regretted doing this with my dishwasher.

When we moved into our house, all of the appliances were missing, and so I didn't have enough money to go "top of the line" on anything. I bought the cheapest dishwasher I could find that I thought would be decent. It was a GE- how bad could it be?

To be fair, it's not completely bad. It's just not good. Unless I scrub the dishes to the point where I could probably put them straight back into the cabinet, the food particles remain in the dishwasher. When I open it up after a cycle, the glasses in the top rack are often covered in gunk. The bottom rack is usually fine, and the capacity is good, which is important because we're a family of five.

A couple of other problems with this washer: the cycle, even the regular cycle, is extremely long. I have never had a dishwasher that took so long to complete a cycle. It is also rather loud, and the detergent door sometimes sticks closed, which means that nothing got washed properly.

I would highly recommend spending a bit ore to get a more efficient dishwasher. You will probably make up your money in the end.
