I really love the technology built in to this machine, particularly the smart features that allow it to automatically adjust to the needs of the specific load. I also really appreciate how it can accommodate a large number, as well as a wide variety of dishes. The ability to (re)move the top and middle shelves is really nice!

That being said, I would still not be willing to pay full retail price for it. Definitely watch for it to go on sale for a deal.
