If you don't have the space for a full size dishwasher go with the 18 inch it was worth every penny! I've had this dishwasher for 10 months I run it every other day. It holds way more dishes than I ever thought it could! The drying process isn't as good as a standard size dishwasher but the dishes are always clean so I can't complain, and would recommend to anyone!  I love it!
