Product review (4 stars): A few quirks but very good overall
This dishwasher works great but it has character.  You just need to know how to deal with it.

First, make sure nothing can fall down through the rack, because it'll block the rotating sprayer and the dishes won't get washed as well.  If you have any lightweight items, make sure to anchor them down with heavier items, because they will almost always fly up and get knocked over and fill up with crud.

Another quirk is that it will finish washing and beep, but then sit there for a while afterward with water still sitting in the bottom.  After another while, it'll empty out and beep again (I think).  I don't understand why it pauses for so long before draining out, but it does.  If you're unsure whether it's done or not, just open it and see if there's a bunch of water in the bottom or not.  You'll get the hang of it.

The wash cycle is also a bit long.  I'll have to try out the rapid cycle to see whether it gets the job done well enough.

I haven't noticed issues with spotting.  I guess it probably depends on your water.

And for reference, it is EXACTLY 17 inches tall.  EXACTLY.  I had seen various figures like 18.5 and 17.3 inches and didn't think it would fit under our cabinets -- but it does!  We're going to put it on a cart though, because it takes up a lot of counter space.
