KYLE6770 8/29/2026

The cleaning is great! capacity for silverware is amazing especially the drawer at the top is great for specialty utensils like chopsticks/cleaning ware. The drying feature also works great and is a huge time saver. Hardly any noise as well works well for me as its not too far from my great room.

Beautiful, whisper-quiet, and packed with smart fe

GracieG 8/27/2026

When it came time to build our new home, we expected to get Cafà appliances because of how stunning they look. But they go above and beyond just aesthetics™€"this dishwasher is everything we could have wanted and more. Here are a few standout features: -Exceptional Performance: It runs whisper-quiet, and every single dish comes out sparkling clean every time. -Thoughtful Details: They actually put a dedicated sprayer underneath the silverware basket! Such a nice touch to get my silverware clean. -Delicate Care: I love the specialized sections for delicate dishes, but even more importantly, the dedicated cycle for them gives me total peace of mind. If you are on the fence, don't hesitate. It's a powerhouse that handles everything from everyday messes to fragile glassware with ease.

Quiet, Stylish and Efficient

markberger1 8/26/2026

super quiet, very stylish and does an amazing job cleaning. I don't love the buttons on the top of the door that control all the different wash modes - it's actually way easier and more setting on the SmartHQ app. I like the flexibility of the very top rack, with dedicated silverware washing zone and the moveable rack for tall or odd shaped items.

Efficient and quiet!

Racurl11 8/18/2026

This unit is very efficient and quiet! There are times that I have to check that it is going as it is virtually silent. I am, however, somewhat mystified on why I would require WiFi capability on my dishwasher! It is sort of interesting to be notified that the cycle is complete, however! I may have to explore more capabilities that the WiFi will extend to me.

So Quiet and Tons of Room

jbrochri 8/13/2026

This dishwasher replaced an 18 year old dishwasher that we thought we loved, mostly because it was so quiet. However, this dishwasher blows the other one away. We love the bottle jets, large capacity bottom rack, and the fact that the second rack can be adjusted up and down. I wish the top rack were a hair deeper, but it does the job as needed (and you can turn it off, which is nice). We have other Cafe appliances and it's nice to be able to manage this one on my phone along with the others.

It™€™s Just Okay.

LMader 8/11/2026

It™€™s just okay in my opinion. Had to already be replaced after four months due to leaking during the drying phase and eventually leaking during run phase. Doesn™€™t dry dishes very well, and at times loud.

Generally a good dishwasher

Colo gal 8/10/2026

Like the look and style of Cafe. Have had a few issues with dishes not getting clean. Not sure if it is me or the dishwasher! Also have not been able to add the dishwasher to the GE app but no or b sure I would use it anyway. It has lots of features that I am slowly learning about like the bottle washer and the top shelf uses.

I love this dishwasher! There is so much room on each shelf. I love having the third row on it! It cleans everything perfectly! When you use the jet dry your dishes come out sparkly clean! I love the delay feature! I can set a delay and it starts up when we are all sleeping and done by morning! It™€™s so quiet I don™€™t hear it running at all! The first few times I had to go over and make sure I pressed start!

Siri 7/30/2026

It™€™s incredibly quiet, the dishes come out spotless every time, and the sleek design matches perfectly with our other Cafe appliances. One of my favourite things is opening it every morning to find sparkling clean and completely dry dishes. It™€™s made daily cleanup effortless, and I couldn™€™t be happier with it.

Nightmare

vcl1 6/25/2026

This dishwasher has been a nightmare. It is incredibly expensive, and we have had three service visits in one year, with one of the issues still unresolved. First the rotating spray wheel at the bottom melted from contacting the heating elements. That issue was resolved, but for the longest time before it was discovered the the house had an odd odor when we ran the unit that we thought was the detergent but it was actually burning plastic. Second, the door seals/gaskets are poor, and vapor escapes from the top of the unit and condenses on the bottom of our countertops before dripping to the floor. This latter issue has yet to be resolved by technicians. Our 1 year warrantee is up and I am just giving up on this unit.

Piece of junk; not worth a penny.

demand decent quality 6/12/2026

This Cafe dishwasher is junk:( THREE times same problem. Middle rack wouldn't come out all the way. 1.GE sent me a new rack.Ball bearings all fell out in box. 2.GE sent me a repairman.Admitted fault was ball bearings AFTER I figured that out& asked him. installed new glides. GE warranty repairmen no good:( Complained overbooked; only had X number of minutes to fix.Would never allow them again. 3.Next week rack wouldn't work again; ball bearings fell out.Put up w too long. Time to resolve. Still under warrany; almost 1 yr old& NOW control panel not working:( NOT WORTH FIXING. POOR DESIGN for middle rack. TOTALLY disgusted w it. IF GE fixes again, will keep happening! NEW product SHOULD work well. DO NOT BUY CAFE. NOT worth the money. I deserve money back from GE but probably won't get any. Want a different GE dishwasher from local appliance dealer and it better have quality! Have seen other GE dishwashers in stores w totally different design for middle rack. WILL NOT fix this one; NOT worth the constant problems w it. Not working w Grand Appliance on this; too difficult. GE get it together w your Cafe brand! Cafe stove was also junk. GE Profile stove much better&from small appliance dealer local.

John372 5/27/2026

We have been very happy with our Cafe' dishwasher since installation. It is very quiet and performs very well. We haven't had to rewash anything yet. We usually run our diswasher each night and if it wasn't for the app telling me when it was done you wouldn't even know, thats how quiet it is. It is also very efficient with the cleaning and drying.

Not The Best

Gregg1971 4/27/2026

This is the second Cafe dishwasher we have owned and the second one I feel the quality is still not up to par. We were hoping the for better results from this one. The interior racks are poor quality. The Custom Fit Top Rack with Ultra Wash broke with in a few months despite NEVER using it. It would constantly need to be fully pushed in to close the door. It finally stopped working and broke. The dishes and cup don't dry all the way and need we need to try with a towel prior to putting away the dished and cups. Not pleased with this produst overall. I feel like it is not worth the cost. Too expensive for the quality.

Condensation Problems

Al101 4/20/2026

The dishwasher is great, super spacious excellent washing, great features. Unfortunately, the one I got from Costco was had an issue. For some unknown reason. It was producing a lot of condensation on the top of the door, making the entire door and under the counter wet. They couldn™€™t figure out the problem so they are sending a replacement. I guess the quality control is not on point. For the price and the brand I expect more.

Has potential but not the best

Daisy Duke 4/4/2026

I love the look & it has great potential but it hasn™€™t been the best since we got it. Isn™€™t everything supposed to be dry when it™€™s done? Everything is soaking wet, we have to dry everything with a towel. Since all that water is sitting there, it has now created mold & doesn™€™t clean well anymoreDaisy, a bunch of black dots appear all over our dishes. Self cleaning doesn™€™t do much. We™€™ve read the manual, tried different things, nothing helped.

So far so good, very sleek and stylish. Very quite. When you lower one side of the upper basket the door does no shut properly. I guess that's a design flaw. Doesn't dry the dishes as good as I expected.

Bronze cafe logo paint is coming off

Rajan 3/2/2026

1 out of 5 stars. If there is 0 star on customer service i would love to give to GE Cafe. I bought - CDT858P2VS1 dishwasher on 8th November 2026, i bought all 36" high end appliances, stove, freeze, dishwasher and after 2 months the bronze color logo paint on dishwasher handle start peeling off. I called them but they said it's cosmetic and after putting review i got an email with reference number that Canadian team will look into this issue. I called several times, every time the representative transfer the call to Manager and manager never comes on line and they do not bother to call you back. I called today and this time Manager Louis came on line after 35 minutes of waiting and he said nothing can be done as this cosmetic and they did not heard about this issue before, i told him there will always be a first time for any issue. I have never seen such a poor customer service for high end brands. I am regretting this purchase. I do not understand how the bronze paint peel is cosmetic even after 2 months of time, its obvious that something is wrong with the quality but they do not even care to respond back on email or call back. I will never ever buy or recommend anyone to buy from GE such a pathetic customer service. I will report this to consumer protection court now, its not about just a small thing its about accountability on part of manufacturers, they should stand behind their products... if there are issues instead of ignoring the issues. RF# 40308067 of old ticket and photos and all details are already emailed.

Trash. Do Not Buy. Never again.

Stephen T 2/28/2026

Absolute trash. Died in 14 months just outside warranty. Purchased in late 2024. Last week the entire top panel stopped responding or lighting up. Called GE, and the serial numbers on the side of the machine rubbed away with normal use so wasted 30 minutes trying to decipher it while on the phone with them. They offered to either (1) pay $400 for another extended warranty for 1 year with Bodewell or (2) Send out a technician for $125 and that's to start. I have owned multiple dishwasher brands before from multiple other brands and never had such a short failure rate. I told GE thanks but no thanks and hired a local reputable company. With troubleshooting it looks like the control board died. The problem is there's no stock of this control board. So now it's total junk. I will NEVER buy another GE dishwasher in my lifetime and just counting the days until my GE Cafe range dies as well. Not to mention the top 3rd rack was mostly useless, all the racks never rolled out smoothly.

Dee1127 2/28/2026

After only 66 cycles and two months, our dishwasher was leaking. It turns out it had already melted through the lower spray arm and was shooting large streams of water directly at the door. Seems like a huge design flaw in such a pricey dishwasher, I noticed the aftermarket spray arms from GE had metal plates on the bottom to protect them. Glad we bought the warranty from the store as we™€™ve already had to use it.

Poor performance

Cyurick 2/25/2026

We bought this dishwasher to replace an older Cafe dishwasher. We have had this dishwasher for 2 months and the lower spray arm has melted on the heating element. GE sent a repair person out to look at the problem. He lowered the heating element and said he did not know what else to do. He recommended we do not use the ultra dry option. I am not happy about not being able to use a drying option. I was happy with prior GE Cafe dishwasher not happy with new one.

Do Not Buy

DNB88 2/23/2026

This dishwasher has been awful from day 1. My dishes are never clean after using this dishwasher and I end up having to hand wash after waiting hours for it to finish. I purchased in October 2025 and since owning, the bottom spin bar melted and smoke filled my kitchen. It also leaked everywhere several times. Bodewell came today to fix the issue under warranty and they have been great. Dishwasher still doesn't clean my dishes and the cascade pod that is recommended by Cafe gets stuck in the dispenser. For $1000+ you would expect something much higher quality that works for more than a couple months. Very disappointed and I would not recommend to buy this product.

Bronze cafe logo paint is coming off

Deepali 2/17/2026

Cafe CDT858P2V3S1 Dishwasher is delivered on 8th of November 2025, purchased from Tasco, the paint of bronze cafe sign is already peeling off. Please see attached photos, i was not expecting such a bad quality that too on brand logo for expensive brand like cafe. Performance is ok too not very good. Sent email to customer service as over phone CSR said it™€™s cosmetic. The CSR emailed asked for all information and then got a email that department assist with appliances located in USA and i should reach to Canada team why they cannot forward the email to their Canadian counterparts as I do not see on GE. Ca website that I can even post review, very unprofessional customer service, another email I got from service team that my fridge handle discolouration is cosmetic issue, I mentioned clearly in my email that it is dishwasher but I think they copy paste the standard answers. Logo color is coming off in less than 3 months so the Company is using substandard paint quality. I will never ever purchase or refer any GE appliance to anyone as customer service is pathetic. CSR called to say that peeling paint of logo is cosmetic and they did not get complaints from other customers but that does not make sense if other customers not complained about paint issue it does mean that paint issue do not exist I shared photos how paint start peeling off in less than 3 months and performance of the dishwasher is poor too. Rack do not go inside smoothly and drying is an issue too. Instead of scheduling service call they are giving explanation that we have not heard about this issue. It™€™s means no quality checks on individual units. I will escalate it further as this issue not acceptable you pay premium price and do not get even proper customer service

Leaking leaking and more leaking

Earlmama 2/14/2026

This model is the second whole dishwasher we have had replaced since renovating our kitchen this past summer. In addition, we have replaced 5 doors due to leaking. It is still leaking and I am so frustrated.

LEAKED AFTER JUST 5 YEARS.

Steve70 2/14/2026

LEAKED AFTER JUST 5 YEARS. QUIET. Does not always fully dissolve cascade detergent packets, even with a "normal" load. A word about Cafe seres (from 15 years ago, with MW replacement and dishwasher 5 YEARS AGO): Microwave failed early, replaced with the same to match the style. The handle was cheap plastic w/ SS "look" contact paper- quickly wore off. Refrigerator, ice maker stopped dispensing after 7 yrs, membrane over buttons wore out too, dishwasher (1st one) had heater stuck on and melted all inside, replaced with another only lasted 5 years, leaking tub.

Control Lock not optimal

JKStilly 2/8/2026

It washes nicely and looks great, but the racks don™€™t glide easily which makes me think that something will wear down and break sooner rather than later. Also the fact that you need to get onto the app to lock the control panel is absurd. I should be able to lock the controls easily while loading or unloading. Understand one version of my machine has control locks on the panel and another has it only through the app. I gotthe latter.

Good quality

West Virginia Mama 2/8/2026

We recently purchased this dishwasher. It has adequate room for my dishes. I love the top pull out tray for larger utensils and knives. It is quiet when running. My only concern is that the dishes are not completely dry, even when using the normal heated dry setting.

Not impressed

I am not impressed 1/12/2026

Does not live up to the hype! Not very sturdy, when the racks are pulled out they squeak. Water spots on flatware even when settings are adjusted and different Cascade products are used.

Disappointed from the start

Nlamanna 1/2/2026

I would genuinely consider giving this product a four-star rating, as we had a similar model in our previous home and thoroughly enjoyed it. However, when we moved, we decided to purchase a cafà dishwasher. Unfortunately, it has been a significant disappointment since its purchase. We™€™ve been without a functional dishwasher for three weeks now. We had scheduled a warranty repair visit, and the repairman informed us that the issue we were experiencing was a common fault in this model. I hope this review will prompt GE Cafà to address this fault and improve the dishwasher for future buyers. this review will prompt GE Cafà to address this fault and improve the dishwasher for future buyers.

Faulty Design

Jdugas 12/18/2025

I ran the dishwasher for 3 cycles, and the door is now leaking. Technician came to look at the unit, and the spray arm on the bottom burned itself on the heating element and is now spraying at the bottom of the door causing it to leak. Ruined my hard wood floor.

Epic Fail in Quality & Design

Summer70 12/16/2025

Junk. I've had it one year and I opened the door, heard a pop and thick plastic pieces literally fell off the bottom, and the door continues to give a loud popping sound when opening and closing. The interior is poorly designed and everyday dishes don't fit. You can't put cooking utensils in with the eating utensils because they'll hit the wash arm and the upper rack is raised as high as it will go, so you're forced to use the ridiculous top rack, which will not accommodate ladles or skimmers because you only have a couple inches of space. You can't put wine glasses in the upper rack unless you lower it, but then you can't put standard size dinner plates on the lower rack because the wash arm will hit them. The fact that you have to use an app on your phone to use certain cycles is the most inconvenient thing ever. Instead of loading the dishwasher, selecting the cycle you want and pressing start, you have to go get your phone, go to the app, find the setting you want, and start it. I can't tell you how many times I woke up to dirty dishes because I got distracted and forgot to get my phone and jump through those hoops to start it. A normal cycle with max dry takes about 5 hours. So it basically runs all day and dishes still come out spotted and wet.

Just get it!

Denvergal 12/8/2025

Although we have only had our new dishwasher a few days I can tell its going to be amazing! Our old one was 14 years old, brand new when we purchased the home. I did the jib but without the bells and whistles this new one has. Love, love the quiet of the dishwasher. Quality construction and quality install.
