Initially loved this dishwasher, but it does clean all the dishes every time.  For refer we are in a tiny house, family of four with young kids and we don't use chemical filled detergents.  With the 7th generation gel, it doesn't work as well even if we use The recommended short cycle for gel, it works better on Auto or Heavy with a loose powder detergent.  You will need to strategically Load the dishwasher in order to ensure a proper cleaning.  Definitely a great higher end mid range model!
