General Electric GLD4900PBB 24" black built-in dishwasher

Gleaming, intelligent . . . BrilliantClean™

You ask one thing from a dishwasher: clean dishes. Period. That's it. But for some reason, not all dishwashers are able to meet your simple expectations. Many standard dishwashers feature tower wash systems that attempt to remove grime by spraying water in only a couple of directions. Featuring a towerless BrilliantClean wash system, the General Electric GLD4900PBB dishwasher attacks grime from six different levels with three different wash arms. Superior coverage of your dishes better removes grime and food for a dramatically improved level of clean. And that's just the beginning. A built-in water-filtration system uses not one, not two, but three filters to ensure that soils do not redeposit on dishes. Further, the combination of four wash cycles and five wash options allow you to set the ideal wash for any load of dishes. Finally, a convection dry system with multi-wattage heater serves up spotless, dry dishes at the end of every cycle.

Room a-plenty

Thanks to a versatile combination of an expanded interior capacity and adaptable rack system, the GLD4900PBB makes it easy to make room for large loads of dirty dishes. First, the 16-place-setting capacity is 15% larger than that offered by similar models, giving you plenty of space for dishes from large parties. Second, a variety of rack-design features — including an accessory basket, two plastic utility shelves, fold-down tines on the upper and lower racks, and a silverware basket — make the GLD4900PBB's interior adaptable to any combination of dishes.

Pre-rinsing optional

With your old dishwasher, you had to be sure to rinse every little speck of food and grime off of every dish before loading it into the machine. While it kind of felt like you were hand washing them once before placing them in the dishwasher, the alternative was half-clean dishes. And what's the difference between half-clean dishes and dirty dishes. Nothing. Now, we're talking about your old dishwasher, not the GLD4900PBB. Thanks to an integrated Piranha hard-food disposer, your days of pre-washing, oops, I mean "pre-rinsing", dishes are over. The Piranha disposer processes any large chunks of food, allowing them to pass out through the drain and preventing them from being recycled into the dishwasher later in the cycle.

The power of quiet

One of the universe's most powerful forces . . . quiet. Take for example its potency against stress. You're finally home from work, the family's fed, and the dishes are in the machine. At long last a few moments to relax. Pure, blissful quiet . . . except for the gurgling, churning, drone of your old dishwasher cleaning away. Now that sounds like stress relief. Let's write a different ending to this story. Presenting the GE GLD4900PBB with the QuietPower 3 system. Engineered with sound dampening components, the GLD4900PBB runs at a tame 57dB, helping lull you as you finally put your feet up at the end of the day.
