GE Profile PDWT300RBB 24" Black Built-in Dishwasher

At a glance, the GE PDWT300RBB may appear to just be a clone in the Profile series because it does have most of the features found in other units. However, at a price of just over $800, it delivers extra cleaning action through the antibacterial selection. It has a capacity of up to 16 place settings and comes with the SmartDispense technology.

Interior Features

Granted with the Energy Star qualification, the GE PDWT300RBB is able to perform its duties and functions using minimal energy. Because of this, the dishwasher helps the user save on energy bills and even on water bills.

Another way of saving water with the GE PDWT300RBB is through its SmartDispense technology. This technology ensures that the dishwasher only uses just the right amount of detergent. Because of a Clean Sensor, the dishwasher can detect just how much detergent will be needed to clean the particular load. That amount is released to wash the dishes. Because there is no excess detergent used, just the right amount of water is used for rinsing as well.

The GE PDWT300RBB comes with power cleaning features. This time though, the PureClean feature and DeepClean with Steam cycle are also combined with the antibacterial option. The PureClean feature ensures that the water is truly clean, having gone through 5 stages of filtration. The DeepClean feature, on the other hand, comes with the steam option that is needed to remove stuck bits of food from the dishes. The antibacterial selection may be used for sterilizing babies' utensils and other delicate dishware.

Clearly typical in other aspects, the GE PDWT300RBB comes with the usual 4 cycles and 5 options. This number of choices should be enough for most households. The appliance also has the usual 2/4/8 hour Delay Start.

The GE PDWT300RBB comes with several convenience features. One of them is the Quiet Package, which ensures that operating sound is muffled so that the highest volume is only 51 dBA.

Exterior Features

The racks are durable and can therefore secure the dishes. They are made of Eclipse black nylon. The upper rack houses the delicate items, such as stemware. The two utility shelves found on the upper rack have the StemSafe feature.

As with most GE Profile series models, this particular dishwasher comes with various color choices. Aside from black, the available finish includes stainless steel and white.
