Dump a whole bottle of detergent (up to 54 ounces) into the GE Profile dishwasher's reservoir and relax for the next few months. The appliance automatically releases just the right amount during the pre-wash and wash stages by examining cycle selection, soil level, and water hardness. An LED warns you when it's low. Also, the washer's exhaust vent opens only during the dry cycle, dropping the noise level to a whisperlike 47 decibels. $1,080
