Product review (5 stars): Outstanding dishwasher
I'm really surprised to see all the bad reviews here. Maybe I got a newer version or something, but this is my favorite dishwasher I've ever owned. I take care of my elderly Mom and Aunt, so I'm cooking and cleaning up all day. I run 3-4 loads a day in this thing, every day. It's been amazing. It cleans like a dream. But because there's only a spray bar in the bottom of the drawer (not also on top like full sized washers) you have to make sure there's room for the water to get to the dishes. You can't put a cup on the rack directly above a plate and expect the water to get to it, for example.

I love having both drawers so one can be washing while you load up the next one. It's also so quiet -- everyone that visits comments on how quiet it is. You only hear the sound of swishing water, and a hum when it's draining.

I always use cascade complete powder -- that seems to work the best and have used that for years-- not just in this dishwasher. I never rinse or pre-wash anything. It gets dried, stuck on food off every time. (I'm not sure if that's the dishwasher or the cascade complete, but it works great.)
