Product review (3 stars): Probably as good as an "Energy Star" dishwasher can be
Ah, where to start. First, if you can avoid "Energy Star" -- DO IT!  Every major fault of this dishwasher traces back to the Energy Star rating. To use this dishwasher you have to:

1. Pre-wash all dishes in the sink (rinse, scrub)
2. Run hot water in the sink
3. Run the dishwasher
4. Inspect all dishes as you remove them, because some will still be dirty
5. Dry the dishes before you put them away (towel dry, or leave door open for a few hours)

Step 2 is impossible to do if you choose the delayed start option.  The manual doesn't say how much this reduces the quality of the wash cycle.

What can I say that is good?  The layout of the dishwasher is excellent.  The lower & upper racks are roomy and not confined by pillers and other blockages. The sideways jets of water seem to help. The unit is very quiet and uses little electricity. I think it would be an untrue exageration to say that the unit uses little water, due to steps 1 and 2.

Here are some more flaws. The insullation marked "keep it on the unit" cannot fit in a standard sized dishwasher hole. Wash cycle takes 3 to 4 hours. The "light items clip" is a joke (there are two cheap pieces of plastic), and there are only 4 wine glass clips; so I wouldn't buy this unit for those advantages. By default, the unit will NOT dry your dishes, and if you ask for a drying cycle, then some but not all of the dishes come out dry for us in Colorado, which is nearly a desert. I can't imagine the dry cycle does much of anything in a humid climate. The installation instructions are amazingly poor; for example, the last step is "install the handle on the door" and includes a statement that this will be easiest to do if you lay the unit on it's side. Kinda hard to do after installation is complete! The pre-wash, inspect, and towel dry steps mean that using this unit involves is a lot more physical labor than my old dishwasher did.

The controls are on top of the door.  The manual doesn't tell you how to use them.  You need to press the settings you want, press "start", and then close the door quickly.

My conclusion: this unit is probably as good as any "Energy Star" dishwasher can get.
