I will start by saying that I enjoy doing the dishes. My wife and I purchaced our home without a dishwasher and for the past 3 years we traded off spending a few hours most week nights doing dishes and cleaning up after dinner. Since finally re doing our once small galley style kitchen in our 1920's bungalo, transforming it into vastly more functional space, and making sure that we were able to install a dishwasher, my wife and I are now able to spend our evenings together instead of one of us washing up for a good chunk of the evening. We love how much we are able to fit inside of the smaller profile size, the 3rd rack for cutlery and smaller items is a lifesaver and now a must have for any future dishwasher purchace.
