To start, it is very attractive to the eye. Also, it is nicely spacious and has decent shelf placement. But more importantly, it does its job and it does it well! My dishes, pots, pans, cups, and silverware all came out wonderfully clean. I used to avoid my previous dishwasher, because my dishes always came out spotted and "almost" clean. I am so happy this works so well! No spots. Streak free shine. Nice and dry. I will warn that the dishes come out a bit hot when the cycle first stops so be careful. Other than that, it is great!
