Product review (4 stars): Just Ran My First Cycle...
small load, light soil. No pre-rinsing of any items, but since most were lightly soiled I didn't expect them to come out dirty. One surprise I had was a serrated stainless-steel knife I used to cut open an avocado earlier in the day; an unwashed pattern of where the avocado meat met the knife was still present. I had the knife in the lower third rack and used an electrosol tablet with the powerball. I'll try a different detergent, as well as a different position next time and post my results, but needless to say, with such an expensive dishwasher I expected more. The noise level is acceptable, not the quietest, but after using a thick, rubber-backed carpet runner (new) held on by velcro, and adding a thick foam molding around the side where it met the cabinet, it became extremely quiet. Many options came with this unit: three racks (top two adjustable up and down, as well as a removable second), four wash blades, folding tynes, a split utensil basket, and 13 possible wash cycles. It's very smart looking, and the controls on the top edge are easy to read, as well as to figure out (also, no more bending down to look at the cycles like a front panel.) It does sanitize, so baby bottles are a breeze. I just wanted a unit that looked good, required no pre-rinsing, and was quiet. I'm happy with everything about this unit so far except for my avocado incident, but since I love eating them so much it might prove to be an issue. If all dishwashers have this same problem, then this is a 10/10. If not, I'd give it an 8 overall.
