We live in an older house (built in 1950) and the counters are lower than the modern standard (33-34") so we had to get an ADA compliant dishwasher to fit. But, in our small home and house of two-three people, it's the perfect dishwasher. It's sleek and stylish, quiet, efficient, and we only run it (with our modest amount of dishes) every other day. Our dishes come out very clean and the drying function is good (I've found so many washers leave pools of water, not this one!). Installation went without a hitch and we think we'll have this dishwasher for a long time!
