Product review (3 stars): Lacks in cleaning power
Dishwashers aren't what they used to be! My grandma has an old dishwasher that makes a lot of noise, but you can tell it REALLY cleans the dishes with force and with lots of water. You can stick about any greasy or messy dishes in it and they will come out clean--no pre-rinsing needed!

We've had this dishwasher for over 2 years now, and while I don't love it, I live with it and make due. I do need to pre-rinse (almost pre-wash) everything unfortunately or there could be unexpected residue left behind on some dish. I've found that certain detergents just don't work as well in it also. But one thing that has helped A LOT with this dishwasher is using about a 1/2 cup - 1 cup of vinegar along with whatever dish detergent I'm using. It seems to get the dishes cleaner and spotless (especially the glasses). We have hard water so any build up (water stains) in the dishwasher are also washed out with the vinegar.
