Description:
The GLDT696JSS, by GE, offers an unremarkable twelve place settings, which is just a bit below the average of that offered by most dishwashers, and it seems to belong to low-end territory when it comes to its washing noise, as suggested by its rather-high 57-dBA noise rating. Also, it has a 78-minute Speed wash program, which hardly qualifies as fast-washing when you compare it to most dishwashers that have a 30- to 45-minute quick-washing cycle.
Also called GE GLDT690JWW, GE GLDT690JBB.
