Although a little reluctant to test this dishwasher I was pleased with the performance in all of the cycles offered.  I found the user manual very friendly and came to rely on the results after each cycle tested.  This was very helpful during the holidays where I entertained my family and had plenty of dirty dishes, greasy pots and pans and delicate stoneware.  I was most pleased with my plastics getting dried along with all the other dishes – no need to hand dry those pieces.
