Product review (4 stars): Houston, we have a dishwasher!
There are not many options out there for 18" dishwashers unless you go very high end, so we had high hopes when buying this machine to replace an old model we had bought used. I would say, that if the metal this was made of was any thinner, it would defy gravity. The front panel is also made of plastic that would probably not survive collision with a beanie baby, but does look nice. The machine had minor damage when received that meant the pump did not seal and leaked on installation (probably the case was dropped on its bottom); I have a handy husband who just re-seated the seal and fixed it. It has worked great since then, but suffers from the failings of all modern energy-saving devices in that the cycles are slow as molasses in January. 140 minutes for the standard cycle is a lot of time to wash dishes. It is much quieter than our old dishwasher.
