My wife and I have had a GE Profile PDW 7800 for 2 years and we are very impressed with it. It was supposed to be expensive, but we went to a local discounter when they were changing models and we got a great deal. It was about $580. We have used it for parties, large dinners and Christmas dinners as well as everyday dishes and have never had to use any cycle other than "normal wash" to get the dishes clean. We did notice that we had some problems when we used Electrasol (now Finish) instead of Cascade gel tabs. We bought the Electrasol on sale figuring that they were all about the same, an incorrect assumption. We always use Jet-Dry and we are very happy with the results. Our in-laws have a very expensive Bosch dishwasher (about $1500 Integra) that I must admit, is a little quieter than our Profile PDW7800, but for $1000 more it should be. It doesn't wash dishes any better. I did notice that the GE website shows the new model PDWF800RBB lists at about $1200, but the Nextag price tracker shows they have been as low as $960 around christmas. I would suggest looking for the PDW7800PBB (last year's model) for a better price. (showing $765 at Best Buy) or the PDW7800NBB that shows to have been available for as little as $650 at some retailers. Just for laughs, GE also has the GSD6900 series that has almost all the features of the PDW7800 (now PDWF800) except the stainless steel interior (earlier models including the PDW7800 have the PermaTuf interior that is made of plastic about 1/4" thick and lasts forever with no scratching or burnishing with steel wool required) for around $560. If you don't need the electronic touch button controls, you can find the same cleaning system and insulation blanket sound-proofing in the $380-440 range with other GE models. Check it out!!

We had warranty repairs now and than, and it would stop working fairly quickly. GE extended warranty by 6 months in response to complain, and that didn;t get us anywhere either. The problem is - the holes in 3 arms' which water pours down on dishes and also pushes the arms into rotation get clogged with hard deposits, and after that there's really no washing. It could be said, that water in NJ is just too hard, but old dishwasher we had worked for 10 years, and we never had this problem. I'd say - this is fundamental design flaw and GE is the only one to blame... I'm contemplating suing them for breaking lemon law...
