Product review (1 stars): Why call it a dishwasher?
I arrived in our new home with this travesty in it.

Like most people writing reviews, I give this machine 1 star.  It deserves no stars, or even negative stars.  Some think two drawers are a benefit  Some failures mean one drawer will continue to function, while you can call out the repairman to fix the other drawer.  Counting drawers as separate, I have had four repairs in 3 years. But that assumes the dishwasher actually performs some useful purpose.  We took to washing our dishes by hand even though the top drawer went through the cycles, not bothering with another $250 repair bill for the lower section.

I can't figure out what that value this "dishwasher" has.  You have to wash the dishes before putting them in (or at least get all the food off), so what's the point?  The dishwasher has a very long cycle, consumes energy, and costs a lot to fix, and all without cleaning dishes.  I do not know why they call it a dishwasher.  I call it a waste of money.
