I fully loaded the dishwasher and did not rinse one item before putting them inside. My dishes came out spotless and looked even better than when they air dry from washing them in my sink. It was so quiet that I had to keep putting my ear to the dishwasher to make sure that it was actually running. My only complaint is that the lower rack easily comes off the track when I pull it out all the way to load the back of the rack. It easily goes back on track, but not sure why it comes off each time. Overall I am super happy with this product.
