Having lived in apartments (some upscale, some not so much) for the last 10 years, I've seen my share of dishwashers.  This one is solid and cleans the dishes well enough. My only complaints are that (a) the bottom drawer tends to get stuck when it is all of the way out.  When you fill it up, you actually have to lift up the back to get it to slide in.  And (b), it doesn't have a really shallow 3rd tier for knives and other large utensils that don't fit well into the silverware holder.  My last apartment's dishwasher had this and it was very handy.
