#Ge cafe suite review series

I was worried that the element would warp plastics but I haven't had an issue yet. Lastly, the heating element dried everything fine.

The 3rd rack isnt 'flexible' like the 800 but I dont notice this issue. I like the bottle jets, and the silverware jets. I decided to place the order and ended up, due to a sale, getting the cafe dishwasher for even less than the 800. I immediately turned to the cafe dishwasher (45 series) since i had also upgraded the range to a cafe 6 burner double oven. I freaked out and considered the 800 ADA version, but was unhappy that it didnt come with the new crystal dry feature. It wouldn't fit and I had to send it back. When the appliance arrived, the installer mentioned that bosch dishwashers have a 34' minimum clearance (non ADA) and mine was 33-7/8. I had planned to get the bosch 800 DLX version for my kitchen upgrade.

(used to be that same method on the 800 series I had) Even the regular drying method on the 300. I've had both, and like the bosch setup more.

Anything above that uses either a door pop or crystal dry, which work perfectly well. Plastic doesn't hold much heat, and so this method doesn't work well on those products. The 300 series bosch units use a method which depends on a last second very hot rinse which will dry very quickly on any of the really hot stuff in the dryer. Very inefficient and high potential for issues.ДЄll of the newer units use different methods, like using condensation drying or air heaters (like a hair dryer) or whatever else. The drying methods used in the very old and or cheap dishwashers is to turn on a huge open element which sits in the bottom and heat the air in the dryer. This way food and plastic bits can't get burnt onto the elements. The bosch, just like the high end units from all brands, have hidden heating elements. 'Bosch doesn't have a heating element' is something I've heard many, many times and it is annoyingly untrue.ДЄLL dishwashers have heating elements. Takeaway: a high-end GE is comparable to Bosch, you will be satisfied with either. Bosch has a new feature called CrystalDry designed to dry plastic, multiple series now include this feature. In terms of performance they both get the job done with minimal noise. Bosch have significantly fewer issues but repairs are generally more expensive. GE/Whpl advantage is simplicity in design, parts and technicians are readily available, and most problems are a cheap fix. From a parts and design perspective they really aren't built anything alike.

Don't get me wrong I love GE, they're a good company and make some great appliances, but they aren't Bosch. The others do not have the QC that Bosch does and the amount of GE/Whpl dishwashers I service far outweighs Bosch. I can say from a technician's point of view they are not the same machines. Anything 40db and below you won't notice, manufacturer's are just fighting over who is the most quiet. You're not going to notice a 1db difference, don't base your decision on that. I think either unit will work well and both in the high-end space have similar reliability issues. It doesn't have an enclosed base but it's great. I was initially convinced to go with Bosch, from what I knew (I worked for a few years for an appliance repair place.) but I went with the GE. I looked at Bosch and GE Profile, as they were the only mfg. I turned an 18' wide cabinet with a drawer, into a space for a dishwasher. I recently updated a part of my kitchen in an older house that had no dishwasher. Some users complain that a Bosch 'doesn't dry well' because it can result in more condensation when you open it or assume it's dry. Also, Bosch does not use a heating element but heats the water internally to a higher temp. One reason is that if there is ever a leak, it stays in the base of the unit, holds it all. Bosch engineering for their dishwashers has been copied by Whirlpool/KitchenAid (Owned by the same company) high-end units and the GE high-end series.Д«osch is generally quieter because they encapsulate the entire base and use more insulation there.
