THOR Kitchen 24 in. Stainless Steel Dishwasher vs GE 24" Top Control Built-In Dishwasher

The THOR HDW2401SS is the quieter machine at 45 dB versus 52 dB, and it adds a third rack and four spray arms. The GE holds more place settings (16 vs 14), is NSF certified, and offers steam and a quick wash. Owners rate the THOR highly at 4.8 from 84 ratings, but GE has the longer track record for service and parts. Buy the THOR for a quiet open-plan kitchen; buy the GE for capacity and a sanitizing steam cycle.

What reviewers say

THOR Kitchen 24 in. Stainless Steel Dishwasher

  • 4.8 / 584 ratings

Owners rate it highly, with most praise going to how quiet it is and how much it holds. Complaints are few and tend to focus on installation and the electrical requirement.

What people mention
  • NoisePraisedOwners say they can hold a conversation in the same room while it runs.
  • CapacityPraisedThe three racks and 14 place settings fit large loads, including pots on the bottom.
  • CleaningPraisedThe soil sensor and four spray arms leave dishes clean on the Normal cycle.
  • InstallationMixedSome owners find fitting it under the counter and hooking up the wiring takes care.

GE 24" Top Control Built-In Dishwasher

Owners describe the GE 24 Top Control as a solid, roomy washer that handles everyday loads and runs quietly. Most praise the cleaning on normal cycles and the steam option for stuck-on food. Complaints center on the lack of a third rack and on longer cycle times.

What people mention
  • CleaningPraisedOwners say normal and sensor cycles leave dishes clean, and steam helps with dried food.
  • NoiseMixedMost find it quiet at 52 dB, but some say it is audible in open kitchens.
  • CapacityPraisedThe 16 place settings swallow large family loads.
  • RackingCriticisedBuyers miss a third rack or cutlery tray for utensils and small items.

Questions and answers

Which is better for an open-plan kitchen?
The THOR. At 45 dB it is 7 dB quieter than the GE, which matters when the dishwasher runs next to a living area.
Which holds more dishes?
The GE, at 16 place settings versus 14 on the THOR. The THOR's third rack helps with utensils but does not close that gap.
Does either sanitize dishes?
The GE is NSF certified and has a steam function. The THOR lists a soil sensor and filtration but no NSF sanitizing claim.
Which is easier to install?
Both are 24 in. built-in units at 23.75 in. wide. The THOR needs a 20 A circuit, so check your breaker before buying; the GE uses a standard hookup.
Is the THOR worth stepping up to over the GE?
If quiet operation and a third rack matter most, yes. If you regularly wash for a large household or want certified sanitizing, the GE is the better fit.
