I have had my machine for about 4 weeks. It is the first time I have had a dishwasher that actually washed the dishes. I just scrap the left over food off a put the item into the washer. I use the normal Cycle most of the time and after 3 hours the dishes are sparkling clean and dry. The first time I used it I couldn't hear it running and put my ear on the door to make sure it was running. A welcome improvement over my previous 30 year old dishwasher.  I highly recommend this dishwasher. It was also the highest rate dishwasher by Consumer Report.
