This 18" dishwasher is what was exactly needed to fit in a small kitchen. It was a choice between a small kitchen sink with a 24" dishwasher or a Larger sink with an 18" dishwasher. Decided on the latter. It saves space fits just right. Cleans well and especially enjoy the 1-hour wash to quickly clean and rinse the dishes to save time. As well as conserving water. Looks great, too.
