GE 24 in. Front Control Dishwasher vs Whirlpool Eco Series Top Control Dishwasher

The Whirlpool is the better dishwasher for most shoppers. It runs far quieter, holds one more place setting, adds a third rack and a hidden control panel, and its owner ratings are much stronger. The GE is a basic 24-inch front-control unit with a stainless finish and a hard food disposer, but it is loud, has no third rack, and this one is sold as a scratched-and-dented unit.

• Choose the GE if you need a front-control panel you can reach without opening the door, want a hard food disposer, or you are filling a tight 24-inch cutout on a basic install.
• Choose the Whirlpool if quiet operation, a third rack and a hidden control panel matter more than front controls, and you want the model owners rate highly.
