GE Profile PDW1860NSS 18" Stainless Steel Built-in Dishwasher

The GE PDW1860NSS departs from the usual combination of features offered by other GE Profile series dishwashers. It does not boast of the supposed mainstays SmartDispense technology and the DeepClean features. Instead, it boasts of 7 cycles, which are more than the usual, along with the 24-hour delay start and ADA-compliant certification.

Interior Features

This GE Profile series offering comes with the Energy Star certification. It means that the appliance is energy-efficient, making use of the minimum energy to perform the task at hand.

The usual number of cycles for a GE Profile series dishwasher is around 3 to 4. The GE PDW1860NSS, however, has 7 cycles. This should be great for households that need a wide variety of cleaning and rinsing options. The 7 cycles include the Glasses, Air Dry, Normal Wash, Rinse Only, Heavy Wash, Light Wash, and SpeedWash options.

The GE PDW1860NSS has a brightly annealed stainless steel interior. In simple terms, the interior has a glossy finish that is not only beautiful to look at but is also resistant to rust and corrosion.

Other dishwashers from the GE Profile series operate with a 2/4/8 hour delay start. This particular model, the GE PDW1860NSS, comes with a delay start option that can go up to 24 hours. This means that users can set the operation of the appliance to about the same time every day.

Exterior Features

The dishwasher is ADA-compliant because of its height. ADA stands for American with Disabilities Act. And so, the dishwasher may be used by differently-abled people with little problem.

Inside the door's upper edge, the controls are hidden. The users may choose to be the only ones who can access the controls by not showing their young kids where they are.

Nylon racks are used in the GE PDW1860NSS. The exterior can also be in white, black or stainless steel.

Aside from stainless steel, other options for the exterior finish include custom panel, black, and white.

Advantages

The GE PDW1860NSS is ADA-compliant and should work well in households with disabled people.

As with other GE Profile series dishwashers, this model is energy-efficient and has been granted with the Energy Star certification.

There are 7 cycles, 4 more than most GE Profile series dishwashers.

The Delay Start can go up to 24 hours, so the consumer can schedule the operation of the GE PDW1860NSS up to 24 hours in advance.

The dishwasher model will take much less space compared to other models and can therefore fit into more kitchens. Starter homes can accommodate this built-in dishwasher.



Disadvantages

The GE PDW1860NSS lacks the usual features that consumers have come to expect from a GE Profile series dishwasher.

The dishwasher could do better with a combination of powerful cleaning features, such as the DeepClean with Steam Prewash feature.

With a system that muffles sound and vibration, the dishwasher can be quieter.
