After 8 years of hand washing I was ready to have a dishwasher but when I purchased my first home there was no space already. This compact dishwasher fit perfectly in a cabinet, after a little remodel. After removing the door of the existing cabinet, two shelves, and the kickplate, the install was easy. The instructions are straightforward and walk you through every step if you have an existing opening. 
I'm happy with the operation of the dishwasher as it's fairly quiet and easy to use. My only issue is in drying. Even with the heated-dry setting the dishes are not 100% ready to put away after a cycle. This is definitely not something to deter me from recommending this dishwasher to anyone in a 1-2 person household.
