ENERGY STAR® qualified Dishwashers
The ENERGY STAR® qualified line of dishwashers delivers superior wash while reducing energy use.
Environmental Benefit
Each GE ENERGY STAR® Profile™ dishwasher is designed to save over 1,900 gallons of water over the next decade, compared to a non-ENERGY STAR® qualified dishwasher.
Operating Benefit
The ENERGY STAR® qualified dishwashers that GE sold in 2008 are designed to save customers over $16 million in annual operating costs based on 2008 electricity rates, as compared to the non-ENERGY STAR® qualified dishwashers they replace.
Clean dishes, less detergent
GE is designing its upcoming GE Profile dishwasher with SmartDispense™ technology to deliver precise performance, time-saving convenience and simplicity, without losing style or sophistication.
The SmartDispense™ technology enables the dishwasher to hold an entire 45-ounce bottle of liquid or gel detergent and dispense just the right amount for each wash based on water hardness and load soil level, saving on detergent. Refills are typically only necessary once every two to three months, saving the hassle of loading detergent before every wash.
To be ENERGY STAR® qualified, a dishwasher must operate 25 percent more efficiently than models that have not achieved the ENERGY STAR® standard. Today, ecomagination is responsible for helping more than 90 percent of our built-in dishwashers be ENERGY STAR® qualified. With such a wide range of energy efficient models, it's possible for families of all income levels to save money while helping save the environment.
