Among the GE Profile PDWF680RSS Stainless Steel Built-In Dishwasher‘s biggest claims to fame is its SmartDispenseII Technology. The PDWF680RSS can hold the contents of an entire 47-ounce bottle of liquid dishwasher detergent. Sensors determine how hard the water is and how soiled the dishes are, and the feature dispenses detergent accordingly. A refill light indicates when more detergent will be needed. The benefit of this SmartDispense is more in the resulting cleanliness of the dishes rather than in significant detergent or labor (adding detergent) savings.

The GE Profile PDWF680RSS Stainless Steel model is Energy Star qualified, with annual energy consumption at a respectable level of 324 kWh which costs approximately $28 per year to run the dishwasher. The estimation is based on assumption that the electricity cost is 10.65 cents per kWh and natural gas cost is $1.22 per therm.

To further reduce the energy consumption, the delay start feature allows you to wait as many as eight hours to run a cycle at your convenience or set it to run at times when energy costs are low. The dishwasher also includes cycle memory, so you can quickly run your favorite and most commonly used cycle.

SmartDispense™ Technology – Holds up to two
months of liquid dishwasher detergent and
automatically dispenses the right amount.

The DeepClean cycle that comes with the GE Profile PDWF680RSS stainless steel dishwasher is a brilliant design and smart technology by General Electric. The deep clean cycle utilizes steam to loosen tough soils, like eggs, oatmeal and rice. Therefore, for dishes that are stuck with stains like soils, rice and eggs, manually scrubbing them before loading the dishware into the dishwasher is a thing of the past. All you need to do is just load the dishware into the dishwasher and that’s it! All the dishes will come out sparkling clean!

Moreover, the PureClean wash system with 5-stage filtration is designed to get dishes ultra-clean by utilizing three full-sized wash arms and six wash levels. Multiple filtration levels ensure clean dishes. The integrated CleanSensor monitors and adjusts the wash cycle. The GE Profile PDWF680RSS stainless steel dishwasher is NSF certified for sanitization and has automatic hot start that eliminates starting in cold or waiting for water to heat.

Stainless Interior- Pretty, tough. Lustrious interior
looks great and stands up to stains.

With an extra-large capacity, the GE Profile PDWF680RSS stainless steel dishwasher can accommodate oversize items or wash 16 place settings at one time. The upper rack is removable to allow extra-large items to fit in the bottom. There are two utility shelves in the upper rack that accommodate odd-size items, as well as two cup racks. Fold-down tines in the lower rack add to the flexibility of the unit. The interior is durable and made of desirable stainless steel.

For those seeking a quiet dishwasher, the Profile PDWF680RSS stainless steel dishwasher’s QuietPower51 sound package utilizes an enhanced sound-deadening system to muffle noises and keeps the kitchen quiet and the result is a sound levels at approximately 51dBA.

Currently GE’s premier model, the GE Profile PDWF680RSS stainless steel dishwasher offers plenty of innovative features, but is costly to acquire. Overall, I like the upscale, sleek design of the GE Profile PDWF680RSS stainless steel dishwasher that features electronic light-touch controls discreetly placed along the upper ledge of the door.

Pros: SmartDispenseII Technology that comes in handy, PureClean wash system with 5-stage filtration, DeepClean™ cycle with Steam Prewash, adjustable racks, large capacity up to 16 place setting and energy star rating.

Cons: Only equipped with 4 wash cycles which lack the single rack wash and speed cycle to save water as well as the rinse only setting.
