The device is energy star qualified and energy guide certified; meaning in the long run it will save users money on bills and energy usage; it is more specifically designed to use less water to clean than more conventional dish-washing units. Full electronic controls are mounted upon the GLD5960N front panel complete with 6 cycles and 4 different option settings; this enables users the choice of many different washing cycles. The GLD5960N also features a giant interior tub with what GE claims to be "maximum racking capacity", the unit can wash up to 16 dirty place (meal) settings at once and still has room left for large pans and tall items. The GE GLD5960N dishwashing unit includes additional features such as a patented 6 level BrilliantClean towerless wash system, SaniSensor technology which measures the water temperature and adjusts it accordingly to make sure the dishes are sanitized, 100% water filtration, a Quietpower technology motor for more silent operation, dual pumps and motors with a drain hose, 3 direct feed wash arms (lower, middle and upper), two utility shelves included in the upper rack which creates extra space for cups and utensils, and two separate washing racks (upper and lower).
