I was excited to choose this model for an upgrade to my 10 year old GE dishwasher. I was particularly attracted to the stainless interior and top of door touchpad. The additional features such as food particle grinder were impressive. However, I was dismayed, and surprised quite frankly, that this "upscale" unit does not have a drying element and relies on a "Boost" water temperature option and liquid rinse to provide somewhat dry dishes. Even our 10 year old dishwasher had a heat element affording dry dishes at the end of the cycle. If this unit had better drying capabilities I would have given it 5 stars.
