Product review (5 stars): My hands are finally happy!
I've researched this unit for a while now and paid careful attention to the newer reviews. I was hesitant about buying a brand I wasn't familiar with, especially since it was going in a kitchen that never had a dishwasher before (I know, right?!). I found it cheaper elsewhere and bought it from a big box store, but wanted to provide my 2 cents here.

Received it - great packaging, no dings, marks, dents, no missing pieces... Beautiful condition.

Installed it - took a little longer for my husband to install because it was a brand new install, not a replacement. We at first were amazed at how low it was to the countertops, but realized "hey, the feet adjust!" And we screwed all 4 open as far as they would go, and it fit perfectly. All in all, it was a couple hours but if it had been a replacement, my guess is that it would've taken 30-45 minutes.

I was concerned about the reviews that said it didn't clean well. Our dishes are literally glistening - and that is in the "light" setting! Not one bit of food residue left on - and I let dishes with spaghetti sauce sit in it for 2 days before running it through. Did I rinse them before I put them in? Yes, but did not touch a sponge to do some pre-cleaning at all. Maybe it's because I'm using top dollar dish washing pods as well as the jet dry finishing liquid, or maybe it's because my water is reeeeeaaaalllly hot, but I am thrilled with how well the unit cleans my dishes (and so are my dishpan hands!).

Drying: again, maybe it's because my water is hot and the detergent I'm using is great, but my dishes are pretty darn dry when I empty it.

Loudness: not at all. It's not silent, but our kitchen is right next to the livingroom and it does not interfere with conversation or tv watching.

I'm not really bothered by the fact that it is a simple unit and that I have to turn it off when it's done. It's a simple press of the button, and it's not like it will start again if you don't turn it off right away, so what's the big deal??

I've only had it a week, but so far so good. And the store where I purchased it offered a 3 year extended warranty, so since I bought it cheaper, I definitely purchased the warranty.

If you have super hot water and don't use cheap detergent, this is a GREAT dishwasher!

If you're looking for brand level performance with all the bells and whistles, then you should be looking at other units.
