GE Profile Dishwasher Knows How Dirty Your Dishes Are, Responds Accordingly

Lindsay ~ 11 August 2005

The GE Profile “Smart Dispense” Dishwasher stores a whole bottle of liquid detergent in the door. It automatically determines the amount of detergent needed (according to GE, “detergent amounts are determined based on water hardness in the home, soil level of dishes, size of dish load, water temperature and cycle selection”) and distributes it during the pre-wash and wash cycle as needed. When the detergent runs low, a LED goes on to let you know it’s time for a refill (about once every 2-3 months). Available in October 2005, the GE Profile will be offered in white, black, stainless steel, or custom paneled options with prices starting at just over $1,000.
