I am normally against dishwashers because you usually have to wash or at least rinse the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. Not with this dishwasher, in the instructions it says scrape off excess, DO not rinse. It has cleaned every dish and pan I have thrown at it, and I have taken it as a challenge. I started doing the heavy wash but now put it on auto and it figures out how long to wash. I have only had it a few months but it has been flawless so far.
