Wow. Solid dishwasher! Clean lines, easy to use. I wish the express setting took less time. Great investment!

I am generally disappointed with the build quality of this dishwasher. 1. The door is very poorly constructed. It wobbles side to side and "twists" a bunch in both directions. I posted a photo of the two side positions it wobbles to and from. 2. The seal between the body and the door of the dishwasher interferes with the bottom sliding rack, so it hits it every time you try and slide the rack out. If you have utensils in the utensil bins, they also hit the seal and it's very, very annoying. 3. The bottom rack transitions to the door when sliding extremely poorly. If there are dishes in it, you have to lift it up and set the rollers onto the door in the open position. They don't slide smoothly between the two. I would return it if I could. I've had pre-owned craigslist dishwashers that are more solidly built than this.

I love the GE café appliances. I got the dishwasher I absolutely love it. I love the third drawer at the top of utensils. and I got The refrigerator Love them both

So far this dishwasher has been nothing short of amazing. It's quiet enough so we don't hear it run overnight (our bedroom is directly above the kitchen), and when we're in the same room we aren't having to raise our voices to speak over its noise level. The only real noise is when it's draining, which is to be expected of any dishwasher. As far as cleaning goes, I've thrown everything I can think of at it while using the various washing cycles. The steam function is great when you have things that have been caked on for a few days before washing, such as forks coated with dried parmesan cheese. The third rack does a decent enough job for things that don't have anything caked on. I wouldn't recommend it for the aforementioned forks, but things that are put freshly used before washing will be cleaned well. The bottle jets are great and really do a good job of cleaning stubborn bottles. There hasn't been any need to pre-rinse any dishes before loading and running the dishwasher. The steam function works great to break up caked on food, so if you load as you go but don't run it until the dishwasher is full, this solves that issue. We do composting, so I can't speak to how the built in disposal works for large chunks of food. The app is very functional and does a great job explaining the cycles. One of the best features via the app is that you can set it to use only the top or the bottom rack when doing a load. That way, if you only want to fill half the dishwasher you can make sure it's only using water where needed instead. The reason for not getting 5 stars on cycle options is that some of the options, such as the top/bottom rack option, bottle jet, and silverware tray jets, only seem to be available via the app. In addition, the top controls don't do a great job explaining how to set them, and the documentation is lacking on some of the hidden options which bring it in parity with the app. If you don't want to use an app, I'd recommend looking into if you can access all the features you want via the control panel.

I love the silverware basket design, different size slots, easy open. Versatile third rack that you can slide over to make room for taller items underneath, also has placement for larger cooking utensils, with water going directly to them. I chose this dishwasher because of the dual wash zones, that are accessed on the app, which I found easy to use. Overall design is great, beautiful dishwasher, inside and out, the copper accent on door pool is like the added piece of jewelry that makes it all come together. Only thing missing are the inside lights, which we had on our former dishwasher, which was a really nice feature. Cafe does offer them on their next model up, we just didn't want to pay the extra $600. Other than that, I am extremely satisfied with my new dishwasher!

I looked for a new GE dishwasher as I prefer the hardfood disposal, but I wanted to make my GE Cafe fridge, so I selected this newer model. I appreciate the app / WiFi integration with my smart home and being able to configure and notify myself when the cycles are complete! The actual wash/drying cycles are incredibly quiet, I honestly forget it is running, and need Alexa to remind me the cycle is completed. It definitely cleans better than my 10 year old GE dishwasher. Hopefully it will also last as long as my last one!

Very quiet dishwasher and leaves a streak free finish. Also does a great job on stuck on food ie lasagna/enchiladas. Only area of improvement would be drying.

The Café Dishwasher in beautiful matte black is a fantastic addition to any kitchen. Its sleek and sophisticated design complements the high-quality construction, ensuring both durability and style. This dishwasher excels in performance, consistently washing dishes evenly and thoroughly. One of the standout features of this smart dishwasher is its convenience. With its smart capabilities, I can easily start the dishwasher even if I forget to do so before heading to bed, making it incredibly user-friendly and perfect for a busy lifestyle. Overall, the Café Dishwasher combines elegance, efficiency, and advanced technology, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen appliances.

Best dishwasher we have owned thus far, which includes Bosch's best. It's also the quietest and does a great job of cleaning. Still tinkering with optimal settings.

Definitely took some getting used to since this new machine has much more tech and more options than our old dishwasher. Once we have gotten used to it, lots to like. Plenty of room inside and ability to move top rack up and down. Extra 3rd top rack comes in hand from time to time too. Love the silverware basket as well. Good looking too.

Best Dishwasher I have ever used. It is very organized and has a separate silverware/large utensils tray at the top with sizeable middle and bottom trays. It is very well build, the washing is very thorough and I am impressed with its drying capabilities. This model replaced an old Frigidaire dishwasher that sometimes required a couple of cycles to wash thoroughly. I recommend this product for its high quality function and shiny staintless steel looks.

My dishes have never been so clean and dry. Would buy again.

I love this Dishwasher!! The wash cycle is amazing and with the extended cycle adds bottle jets and extra dry time so I never see any spots. For the money this is a great choice, I highly recommend this Dishwasher.

Incredible dishwasher. Looks elegant and gets a lot of compliments when we have people over. I would only go with cafe

Café - 24" Top Control Smart Built-In Stainless Steel Tub Dishwasher with 3rd Rack, UltraWash and 44 dB - Stainless Steel. Model: CDT858P2VS1 Excellent Dishwasher. Works flawlessly. Love it!

Love the look of my Cafe appliances.the dishwasher is so quite and easy to use.

Excellent Dishwasher. Glassware sparkles. Has many features others don’t offer. Really like the stainless steel tub and 3 racks.

We have had this dishwasher for two months. I have been extremely pleased with the cleaning and drying it performs. I love the height and depth of the racks. I had a Bosch 800 series for 5 years before this and I prefer this one over my Bosch so far. Bosch did not live up to their standards at all.

Very nice looking and quiet running :) Please note the handle is out from the flat front of diswasher about 1 inch, just in case there is a drawer or door near the dish washwash area.

I really like this dishwasher so far! The racks are sturdy and don't wobble much yet glide easily, I really like how the middle rack is adjustable up and down on this particular cafe model, and 44dba is quieter than I thought it would be
