OREANDA-NEWS. September 11, 2012. Most dishwashers promise a clean dish at the end of the cycle. GE’s new line of dishwashers propels that promise to a new level with more cleaning power. With GE’s most advanced wash system, the new dishwasher delivers 65 percent more wash power to each rack than previous models, thanks to three pressurized, full coverage wash arms that spray off tough-to-remove food particles like baked-on cheese from every angle.

“The new level of wash power from GE’s dishwashers is like placing your thumb over a garden hose—it sprays at a higher velocity,” said Dan Goldstein, dishwasher marketing manager. “Increasing the pressure of the water jets delivers consistently clean dishes every time.”

Along with great wash power, GE’s industry-exclusive, patented hard-food disposer with removable filter system pulverizes food soils still left on dishes and prevents those particles from re-entering the wash cycle. Only GE dishwashers offer both a hard-food disposer and a removable filter to ensure your dishes are table-ready right from the dishwasher.


Wash a small load, without the guilt
If the guilt of running the dishwasher with less than a full load of dirty dishes keeps you from pushing start, GE’s new dishwasher with exclusive Wash Zones gives you the best option out there—running a half load on either the top or the bottom rack while still combining your favorite cycles and options such as sanitize cycle or steam pre-wash.

“Avoid germs festering in the dishwasher waiting for the top and bottom racks to get full. The new GE dishwasher gives you the flexibility to run a half load wherever works best for the items you use, saving water and energy—not to mention the peace of mind that comes with having a truly ‘clean’ kitchen,” said Goldstein.

With two silverware baskets, called Easy Access Silverware Baskets, running a half load is doable and energy efficient. Most dishwashers only offer one place to hold a silverware basket, and it’s usually contained in the bottom rack. With Easy Access Silverware Baskets and dedicated silverware wash jets, every fork, knife and spoon will be spotless on the bottom or the top rack. It’s your choice. Plus, the adjustable top rack can lower to accommodate 10 Ѕ” plates, or rise to fit tall cookie sheets or cutting boards on the bottom.

GE’s new, innovative dishwasher takes cleanliness beyond what you see to help you keep a clean and healthy home.


Dishwasher model information
The dishwasher offers an exclusive hybrid stainless steel interior with the combination of stainless steel on the inner door and a durable PermaTuf® tub.

“The hybrid stainless steel dishwasher emerges as an affordable option for consumers who want the quality, look and sound benefits of stainless steel, but without the higher price tag,” said Goldstein.

To purchase the new dishwasher, look for Model GDT550HGD with an MSRP of USD599 or GDT550HSD with a stainless exterior of USD699 (resellers determine their own resell price). The dishwasher will be available at all GE authorized resellers.
