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 GLD6800N front panel complete with 6 cycles and 3 different option settings; this enables users the choice of many different washing cycles. The GLD6800N 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. Two features specific to the 6800N series appliances include a four position adjustable upper rack which moves up, down and diagonally; and four utility shelves included in the tiered upper rack designed with patented Stemsafe silver material. The GE GLD6800N dishwashing unit includes additional features such as a patented 6 level BrilliantClean towerless wash system, a special anti-bacteria sanitizing mode 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), and two separate washing racks (upper and lower).
