It's shocking how closely you can load dishes and get a great clean on dishes. The machine is very high capacity with three drawers. For the price point it's surprising how few frills there are. If you want any special settings (like a dry cycle), the control panel is not user friendly. Also, a dry cycle does not come standard. We splurged to get a model with a dry cycle, battled the unintuitive control panel to turn it on and still have to hand dry dishes before putting away. Overall, would recommend, but it's important to know there there aren't as many frills as I'd expect at the price point.
