GE Monogram Dishwasher Features
Pros and Cons of High End Dishwasher
The word "luxurious" sums up the Monogram brand perfectly. Since its creation in 2014, Monogram has been regarded as one of the top national brands for professional, high-quality home appliances. A wide variety of kitchen appliances under the Monogram brand truly "elevate everything." Monogram was created to stand out in the market for kitchen appliances by offering products that are streamlined, contemporary, and made with cutting-edge technology.
But in this article, we'll concentrate on the Monogram dishwashers, which are made with premium materials like commercial-grade stainless steel and sapphire glass and feature award-winning technology and performance. You can benefit from a GE Monogram dishwasher's exceptionally low decibel rating and excellent cleaning because it has more water jets than any other brand (90, to be exact). Read on if these dishwashers are pricey and worthy of the hype.
About GE Monogram
One of the first appliance manufacturers was GE. When he invented the first light bulb in 1879, Thomas Edison founded the company. Since then, the business has diversified into a wide range of industries, including appliances. The best luxury appliance line is GE Monogram. Unlike 90 percent of the regular GE and GE Profile products, their 18-inch dishwasher is quiet and entirely stainless on the inside.
Monogram offers dishwasher models with a professional touch that will leave your dishes spotless and sparkling clean in addition to producing kitchen appliances fit for a chef. View the cutting-edge features that distinguish GE Monogram dishwashers from the competition.
GE Monogram's trademarks are its sense of fashion, luxury, and performance. Monogram dishwashers live up to your expectations of high quality and efficiency when you purchase a Monogram appliance.

Monogram Dish CareGE Monogram Dishwasher Series Styles
There are two distinct collections offered by Monogram: Statement and Minimalist. They share the same technology and functionality on the inside but look very different from the outside.
Monogram Minimalist Collection
Love the modern style? You can choose to focus your search on Monogram's Minimalist line. These stainless steel appliances fit seamlessly into your kitchen and have a flush installation. They either have a clean-lined handle or handle-less push-to-open doors in place of chunky knobs and handles.
Monogram Statement Collection
These items blend traditional and modern design elements in a way that, in our opinion, makes them look gorgeous in just about any type of kitchen. All you need to be a fan of mixed metals is the Statement collection from Monogram, which features stainless steel with brass accents. These appliances have pro-style handles and knobs that are chunky for a commercial, restaurant-style appearance.
How Much Do Monogram Dishwashers Cost?
Monogram appliances are made to add upscale polish to a high-end kitchen. Prices for the Monogram series are typically 10–15% higher than those of Cafe appliances, Monogram's hip little sister brand from the GE family. You should therefore budget between $1,500 and $2,400 for a dishwasher from this brand, but if you want luxury on sale, check out our "promotions & rebates" page for a good deal.
GE Monogram Dishwasher Features
Dishwashers from any GE product line—including Monogram's—have generally won our approval. Its feature-rich, highly-rated appliances have a lot to offer. Let's go over each of these characteristics:
Advanced Jet Powered Wash System
Over 90 distinct jets are included in GE Monogram dishwashers to completely cover your dishes during each wash. Specialized jets designed specifically for cleaning silverware efficiently remove caked-on food, and a strong spray deep cleans tall objects with difficult-to-reach areas, like bottles.
Third Rack
A full collection of flatware and utensils can fit on a third rack near the top of the dishwasher, ensuring that even difficult items like carving knives and soup ladles get a thorough clean. Additionally, Monogram dishwashers come with a 3-piece removable silverware basket that can be divided after a load is finished so those clean utensils can be stored conveniently.
Steam and Sanitation
With a GE Monogram, large messes are not a concern. They have a setting on their dishwashers that raises the temperature for tough loads, which can help clean even the dirtiest dishes. Your dishes will look spotless and brand-new after being washed in hot water, which scrubs away stains and food particles.
Wash Cycle Options
There are nine different wash cycle settings available, allowing you to get the best clean and maximize each load of dishes. While the Sani cycle uses high temperatures to kill bacteria and sanitize dishes, Auto Sense can detect bits of food and debris caked on your dishes and adjusts the wash settings accordingly.
Customizable Racks
You can rearrange the upper and lower racks to easily fit oversized or oddly shaped items. By varying the tines on the foldable rack and adjusting the racks up or down to fit large items, you can make the most of each load and get a better clean. You can easily rearrange the washer's racks to fit your dishes rather than struggling to get them into the washer.
Wi-Fi Connected
With GE Monogram's Wi-Fi Connect feature, you can monitor the progress of your dishwasher at every stage. You can check on wash cycles and track performance even when you're away from home by downloading the Monogram Kitchen app. For optimal kitchen performance, connect any additional Monogram devices that support Wi-Fi.
Max Dry System
Dishwashers by Monogram guarantee a quick and streak-free dry. For quick and even drying, the Heated Dry setting raises temperatures during the final rinse cycle. Simply select the Max Dry setting to improve and hasten the drying process using a multi-speed fan if you need the dishes done quickly.

Pros and Cons of High-End Dishwasher
Over the past few decades, dishwashers have grown to be quite popular. These appliances are used frequently to clean dishes by millions of people. However, in addition to the many benefits of dishwashers, there are some drawbacks as well. Let's weigh the benefits and drawbacks of owning a premium dishwasher made by Monogram, Miele, or Viking.

Pros
✅ Time-saving. Every housewife, especially those who have large families, spends up to an hour a day on dishwashing on average. And there are better ways to use this time.
✅ User-friendly. Even inexperienced users of appliances can quickly become friends with the dishwasher thanks to its simplicity and usability.
✅ Water-saving. The dishwasher's efficient water usage is its primary benefit. When you wash your kitchen utensils by hand, you will waste at least 100 liters of water, whereas your dishwasher uses only 15 liters of water to wash 14 to 16 sets of utensils (which is quite an impressive amount).
✅ Perfect cleaning of dishes and kitchen utensils. The dishwasher can easily handle even very dirty dishes, like pots that have been burned while cooking, because it has multiple modes and even a soaking mode.
✅ Additional disinfection. This can only be done in a dishwasher because it is physically impossible for a person to wash dishes in 90- or 100-degrees water. All the bacteria will be able to be killed by such a temperature treatment. Therefore, dishwashers are especially essential if you have kids and are concerned about the quality of the tap water you use for washing dishes.
✅ Safety. The aqua-stop feature on dishwashers is self-explanatory. The dishwashing machine can turn off the water supply if something goes wrong with its operation, saving you from flooding inside your apartment and among your neighbors.
✅ No noise. All contemporary dishwashers are so quiet that you can hardly hear them operating. Families with children should take special note of this so that you can start the car at night or in the morning while everyone is still asleep. On the other hand, don't you think hand washing makes a lot of noise?
Cons
❌ The size. Unfortunately, dishwashers and washing machines both occupy a lot of space. Finding a location to install the dishwasher will be challenging if you live in a studio apartment where every meter counts.
❌ Additional expenses. Dishwashers come with some costs. The first is dishwasher tablets, which are quite pricey and have a short lifespan. A variety of dishwasher "accessories" are now available on the market, ranging from water softeners to rinse aids.
❌ The price. A dishwasher typically costs between $400 and $1,000. You cannot possibly describe this purchase as "spontaneous," and in order to make a purchase of this magnitude, you will likely need to plan your budget in advance.
❌ Not all dishes can be washed in the dishwasher. This holds true for items made of wood, silver, tin, brass, and aluminum (coating on pot bottoms). Your dishes may eventually lose their shine if you plan to use detergents that contain baking soda.
Regardless of whether you prefer the more traditional Statement collection or, the more contemporary, seamless Minimalist collection, Monogram, GE's premium appliance line, will give your kitchen a professional-style look. Monogram is also the brand for you if you prefer a traditional aesthetic but need cleaning equipment that is jam-packed with cutting-edge technology.
