GE Profile 24" Built-In Dishwasher vs GE Profile 24" Built-In Dishwasher

These are near-identical 18-inch ADA dishwashers from GE Profile: same 47 dBA noise rating, 8 place settings, 3 cycles, stainless tub and 1-12 hour delay. The real difference is the Microban antimicrobial treatment and Piranha hard food disposer on the ENERGY STAR model, which the plain model does not list. Buy the ENERGY STAR version if you want the food disposer and antimicrobial surfaces; buy the plain model if you just want the same core wash at a lower step. Owners of this GE Profile 18-inch platform praise the quiet operation and top controls, but some note the small capacity and limited cycle choices.

• Choose the GE Profile ENERGY STAR if you want the Piranha hard food disposer and Microban antimicrobial protection in the same 18-inch footprint.
• Choose the GE Profile 24-inch if you want the same quiet 47 dBA wash, stainless tub and top controls without paying for the extra antimicrobial and disposer features.
