The dishwasher does clean the dishes; but even on the "heated dry" option, the inside of the dishwasher is completely wet.  The dishes are dry, but the top, bottom, and sides of the dishwasher are extremely wet.  I have to hand dry the inside of the dishwasher because I am afraid it will mildew in between washes.  I have never had a dishwasher with this flaw.  It is a total pain, and I am very unsatisfied with my purchase. A dishwasher is supposed to save you time; this one gives me another chore to complete every time I wash dishes.
