Product review (5 stars): Surprise quality!
Update Feb. 5, 2016: We have been using this unit virtually once per day since purchasing. Work as well now as it did from day one.

I have used this appliance extensively for 6 months now. I don't often have the confidence to rate any modern product regarding current standards. This unit, however, has performed flawlessly. It's solid, quiet, mobile and very efficient. As to other comments regarding the long wash times, get used to it. Energy star standards are so stringent; appliances are expected to perform their tasks to satisfy both the consumer and our ever growing big brother. This means less energy consumption at the expense of time/convenience/quality of merchandise. This holds true for clothes washers, dryers, AC's etc. Imagine BB implemented a mandate that an individual shall only be allowed to use 1 gallon of water to bathe. It's probably going to take you just a bit longer to achieve desired results, eh? Set it and forget it. It works fine.
  This unit will accommodate small pots and pans at the expense of regular dishes. If you are looking to clean up after a 6 coarse meal for 8, consider a built in unit or a maid service.
  Upon completion of cycle, open the access door and allow door to remain open as it rests on a partially pulled out upper rack. This unit heats the final rinse water to 160 degrees to heat up dishes. Rinse water is pumped out during the last few minutes of operation. Residual heat will then dry dishes. The heating element does not directly dry the dishes as was the case pre energy star.
