Product review (5 stars): Exceeded my expectations - Excellent wash and dry
The unit was easy to install. I was concerned about it sitting so deep into the cabinet but it looks great and came with the rubber fill panels to allow for the recessed fit. The cycles for cleaning are nice and easy to use. The front buttons are easy to use and see along with the LEDs that light up according to the cycle it is on. Cleaning solution. We changed from Cascade liquid to the pods because they were just easier to use. Everything comes out SPOTLESS and we are on well water with some extra minerals in our water. Everything also comes out dried, to near perfection (9.5/10) I like the stainless steel interior door mixed with the plastic tub. The filter is easy to remove and simple to wash out (if needed). The item has some pleasant musical tones that it plays when the door is opened and when the wash has completed. The top rack is adjustable to allow for taller glasses. The top rack slides extremely easy, in and out, whether full or empty. The bottom rack is not adjustable (doesn't need to be), and has a little more resistance when sliding in and out, empty or full. Both racks have lots of neat features to hold utensils (silverware & cutlery). It is a learning curve to go from what we had (1980's unit) and loading it to how we will load this unit. -PRO The washer is very quiet and very pleasant. We can easily have conversations with the washer on in our small kitchen. Cleans and dries better than I ever expected. -CON The only negative thing that I can comment on is the top rack and holding glasses upright. Some glasses, based on their shape, don't stay in place (fall over). Maybe there is just a learning curve to it. Never the less, the glasses still come out clean and dry. Price paid $500 @ HDepot (10/13)
