Ratings & Reviews for Cafe 24-in Top Control Built-in Dishwasher ( Stainless Steel with Brushed Stainless Handles ) With Third Rack, Ultra Dry , 42-Decibel

Super Quiet

Love this dishwasher, super quiet, large capacity and easy to load. There is a cycle and place for anything you could want to wash from crystal to plastic!

Terrible Controls.

The worst electronic controls EVER. Not able to pause during cycles. Not able to turn it off so that it can be closed when not in use. the list goes on and on...

Great dishwasher - when it works

Purchased the dishwasher and it was installed May 13, 2026. Used it twice, did an amazing job and left for a European vacation for 3 weeks. Came home and no power to the dishwasher. Checked the breaker, checked the power receptacle, called Bodewell and they confirmed no surges or power issues. Had to order a new control board - initially stated 2 weeks - now backordered for an undetermined amount of time. Unacceptable.

pretty good, touch panel controls are not very res

Washes good. Racks seem flimsy. touch panel is not very responsive.

Bring back the buttons!

While it performs basic functions well, the absence of function control on the actual dishwasher is absurd. Why would anyone think that controlling what you want to do should be done on an app? Bottle jets on/off top or rack select. Put the controls back on the machine instead of on an app!

Great replacement

I wish the “glasses” rack were all slightly tilted to keep water from pooling in the top of mugs/cups that have a depree sion or lip on them.

Great purchase

Very pleased how quiet it is . Work extremely well in normal cycle.

Be sure to get hose kit with all adapters.

Easy to install. Lightweight. Quiet.

This dishwasher is beyond quiet! Great design.

Beautiful appliance. The top pull out is nice for bottle tops.

Horrible dishwasher you will be wasting your money

Worse dishwasher I have ever owned, it stoped working right at a year. What a waste of money. Won't turn on and stays in the same cycle. Don't know whether to ditch and buy a new one. It looks nice but does not work. The dishwasher I traded this in was a JenAir I had for 20 years and it still worked when I get this GE cafe.

Pretty, but poor quality

We have had ours for several years now. We bought it for the look, and that was our mistake. In the 4 years or so since we've had it we've had to replace the pump twice. The second time, it had been slowly leaking every cycle and we didn't realize it until it soaked through to our basement ceiling. Now we need to replace our kitchen floor entirely. And that was after we'd had a certified technician replace the pump the first time. The motor is pretty loud and the regular cycle is 4 hours! The ex...

Bait n switch wifi

Bottom rack doesn’t slide out easily. When we bought it the salesman said it had WiFi to allow more features. The Installer, from GE, said he didn’t know much about the unit. The instruction manual talked about WiFi. 4 phone calls to GE’s outsourced service department we found out our unit doesn’t have it. They offered to install it for $$. Confusing manual and no good person to explain things. Should have stuck with Kitchen Aide

so far so good..

it's a quiet machine........so far so good.....we have only had it 3 months

More noise than my d/w from 10 + years ago

More noise than my GE cafe d/w from 10 + years ago

Not as nice as old version

Not made as well as my previous Cafe’ from 2010. Toekick is cheap black painted metal plate, which doesn’t match SS dishwasher or other Cafe’ appliances next to it. I ordered a $67 part from GE that appears to be like old one but it has not arrived yet. Door cables are cloth string rather than metal like previous one.

Quiet and Amazing

This dishwasher has so much space. It is also extremely quiet. The baskets are not thick or bulky. Dishes come out so clean.

Water in filter upon delivery that stank

We were so pleased to find a matching appliance on sale. But in preparing for install, we started inspecting and attaching components and found the filter was waterlogged and stank. This was days after delivery whereas we had been preparing the space with new electrical and finish work. There should be a factory printed notice very plainly available on a pull off tab that indicates if this a normal factory delivery status. An AI quick query indicates this is the case but should not require cu...

Ultra Quiet

Best dishwasher I have owned. Unbelievably quiet, which is important to us as we have an open floor plan. Does a great job in cleaning the dishes as well. Highly recommend.

Quiet and beautiful

Very quiet appliance. Easy to use. Clean dishes at end of cycle! Good capacity. It comes with a rack at the very top for large spoons and knives.
