The dishwasher has been quite disappointing.  It doesn't get the dishes clean enough to use without rewashing them by hand.  I tried different detergents, using the liquid stuff that is supposed to make the dishes dry cleaner, etc.  No matter what I used, everything was coated with grit and/or film.  So I'm back to washing dishes by hand.  The manual that comes with the machine is so minimal that it is unusable.
