My wife cooks all of our meals at home so we consistently have dirty dishes. Our previous dishwasher never really got them clean enough and we basically had to wash them and then put them in. It also never washed tall tumblrs and other cups well. So when we received this it made a huge difference in time. It works incredibly we no longer have to wash our dishes before they go in the dishwasher. We just simple scrape excess food off and rinse and in they go. The bottle jets option is amazing for tumblrs and other beverage cups. It gets everything extremely clean and my wife squealed when she seen the top third rack for odd shaped cooking utensils. It's also easy to clean and there's no finger print smudges on the front. It has multiple different washing settings but we typically just use the "normal" setting that takes an 1 hr and 17 mins. This has cut our cleaning time in half and my wife is thrilled to not have to do dishes
