GLD6900 Series, PDW7000 Series specifications

The GE PDW7000 Series and GLD6900 Series are both distinguished lines of dishwashers that combine efficiency, innovative technology, and user-friendly features, aiming to enhance the dishwashing experience.

Starting with the PDW7000 Series, these dishwashers are characterized by their sleek designs and robust performance capabilities. They come equipped with GE's proprietary UltraWash® System, which uses advanced wash arms and targeted spray jets to deliver exceptional cleaning performance. The dishwashers also feature a built-in SmartDispense™ technology that automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent based on the load size and soil level, ensuring optimal cleaning while minimizing waste.

The PDW7000 Series includes a variety of wash cycles, such as Heavy, Normal, and Quick cycles, allowing users to select the perfect setting depending on their washing needs. The addition of a stainless steel interior not only enhances durability but also improves drying performance. The model also boasts flexible loading options with its adjustable upper rack, allowing users to easily accommodate oversized items.

On the other hand, the GE GLD6900 Series showcases an equally compelling combination of technology and design. This series also employs the UltraWash® System, ensuring thorough cleaning results. However, it enhances user convenience with its innovative Piranha™ hard food disposer with a removable filter. This feature effectively pulverizes food particles, preventing clogs and keeping the dishwasher running smoothly.

One of the standout characteristics of the GLD6900 Series is its quiet operation. With noise levels as low as 47 dBA, this series is designed to minimize distractions, making it an excellent choice for open floor plans or homes with sleeping children. Moreover, it includes a convenient Delay Start option, allowing users to schedule their washes for a more convenient time.

Both series include features like a sanitize cycle that eliminates 99.9% of bacteria, ensuring dishes not only come out clean but also hygienic. Energy efficiency is also a priority; both the PDW7000 and GLD6900 Series are ENERGY STAR® qualified, helping consumers save on their utility bills while reducing their environmental footprint.

In summary, the GE PDW7000 Series and GLD6900 Series offer advanced cleaning technologies and thoughtful features to accommodate modern kitchen demands. With their focus on efficiency, quiet operation, and flexible loading options, they truly represent the future of dishwashing technology.
