Product review (5 stars): Don't buy another cheap dishwasher!  A good one is worth every penny!
I have to start by saying that we bought this because it matches the refrigerator and ended up getting the mid-level slate washer because the handle matches our fridge and for a couple hundred more you get the stainless steel case.

We have only had it for a few weeks now, but boy do our dishes look so much clearer and cleaner.  I read some reviews that mentioned that it was difficult to hook up, but it was the same as any dishwasher I have ever installed.  The only thing we needed was a hose adapter 90 degree elbow to install it and some wire nuts.  You can buy a dishwasher install kit at Lowes or any other home improvement store that will include what you need.

The only thing that surprised me is how long the cycle takes.  Almost a couple hours for the regular cycle.  However, we run it at night and don't do more than one load per day so, no worries.  In the past, I have bought a few cheap dishwashers and I am very happy that I didn't do it again.  Think about it, this thing affects every meal and drink you have at your house.  Spend some money on a good one so you don't waste your time and money washing dishes twice, or getting sick from the residue the washer leaves behind.

Not only does it clean the dishes very well, but the door springs work well, it makes almost no noise when running and the silverware basket comes out and goes back in easily which is nice.  My old dishwashers made it difficult for whatever reason.

We are now only using the 3 in one cascade packets and it is much easier and again, the dishes look amazing.  Even my 8 year old daughter mentioned how much cleaner our cups look after just two times through the wash.  I definitely recommend this washer, it has been wonderful so far.  Also, it shipped quickly and came in perfect condition.
