Is $499 a good price for this GE dishwasher?

It is the lowest of the six new prices tracked, at The Home Depot as of November 7, 2026. That puts it at the bottom of its current range, so it is a fair buy at this price.

Will it fit a standard 24-inch opening?

Yes. It measures 23.75 inches wide, 24 inches deep and 33.375 inches high, which fits a standard 24-inch cabinet cutout. Check your counter height clearance before ordering.

GE rates it at 50 dB. That is mid-range: quiet enough to run during dinner conversation, but not as silent as models rated in the low 40s.

Does it have a third rack?

The listed features do not include a third rack. Plan on the two main racks for plates, glasses and cutlery.

What does the steam function do?

It adds a steam cycle to help loosen dried and baked-on food before or during the wash. It is useful for pots and casserole dishes.

What comes in the box?

The dishwasher itself and installation hardware. A power cord and water supply line are often sold separately, so confirm with the store before install day.
