Product review (3 stars): Small interior, supposed to use rinse aid
It does get dishes clean and it is quieter than my old dishwasher, but it's a lot different. First, it's smaller. I had heard that it had less space inside. I wasn't worried because we usually take 2 days to fill up the dishwasher. This one can hold about 2/3 as many dishes. I don't even understand how, I think the tines are all so close together I can't get my bowls and glasses in the rows. I do not have crazy oversized or thick dishes. Second, the rinse aid. I have never used rinse aid, never wanted to -- this dishwasher basically says in the manual that rinse aid is required. So I used the recommended brand - and the dishes still aren't dry, but now my Calphelon pan has a horrible white film on it that I haven't been able to remove.
