GE 24" Portable Dishwasher with Sanitize Cycle4.6
2 sourcesall derivedThe GE GPT225SSLSS is a 24-inch convertible dishwasher with a stainless steel tub that rolls on casters and runs from a kitchen faucet, or can be fully installed. Reviewed found its cleaning and drying matched higher-end built-in machines, and Wirecutter names the GPT series its top portable pick for strong cleaning and an easy hook-up. Both note drawbacks: Reviewed measured heavy water use and a short cycle list, and Wirecutter points out it cannot run from a standard water line without extra plumbing. It suits renters and small kitchens with no dishwasher connection; anyone who can install a built-in machine, or who wants a tighter water budget, should look elsewhere.
Strengths
- — Cleaned 98.5% of test stains on its Normal cycle and almost 99% on Heavy in Reviewed's lab
- — Dries well, with only one or two items short of fully dry from a full load
- — Input and output hoses come pre-attached, so hooking up to a faucet is quick
Watch-outs
- — Reviewed estimates water use at over 1,394 gallons a year, more than twice a typical built-in
- — Only three wash cycles and few ways to customise a wash
- — Cannot connect to a standard water line without extra plumbing work
