our first load was super successful. over the next few days we kept filling up. i've been a pre washer my entire life this dishwashers add says "scrape the scrubbing" while it's a hard habit to break i tried. the dishwasher did well, but i'll keep my prewash game. it worked well if dishes were washed asap, but anything that sat for a couple of hours didn't work as well and if you put on that heat dry your gunna have to soak it. overall it looks great, it's quieter than my last dishwasher. the cycles are shorter than my last which is great especially for a larger family, or when we have events i'm able to wash more. i will continue to prewash but overall still very satisfied with our new dishwasher.
