Very roomy for our family of 3 and the dishes/pots/pans we wash.  Everything has come out clean.  Would of liked there to of been a heat option(the coil that heats up) but I have found that for the most part, warmth from the cycle dries efficiently. We havent been able to get the water hose completely back in the compartment during non-use times but it only sticks out a few inches.
