Product review (4 stars): Not Bad For What It Is
I bought this dishwashwer off of a different site where I got it a little cheaper and paid less in shipping costs.

Overall it's not a bad little dishwasher for the price.  I did a bit of a remodel on a very small 50's galley style kitchen and really wanted a dishwasher but could only manage to squeeze in one of these 18 inch models.

It's great that you can get something that will fit in a small space.  It appears to be doing a pretty good job on the dishes.  The instal was completed by a plumber because I was having multiple items installed including a garbage disposal and didn't want to risk doing all the work myself, but it appeared to not be to difficult to instal yourself if you needed to.

I don't really have much to compare it to but so far I haven't really had a problem with noise.  It's not quiet but it not so loud that it bothers me while I'm watching TV or whatever in the next room.

This little machine does have a few different settings for heavier pots/pans, regular wash, crystal/glass, etc.  It also hase a nice stainless interior although the shelves are plastic coated metal of some type.

The only real issue I have with this dishwasher is that the shelves are set up a little odd.  The top drawer has some weird plastic things that fold over the tops of the glasses (maybe to hold them down?).  The bottom shelf has a couple rack sections, one for plates/sausers etc that can be folded down flat to put bigger items and on for the rest of your stuff that is permanantly attached and doesn't fold down. Being only 18 inches you can get a good bit in but you really have to be creative and you're not going to fit a whole lot of large pans.

If you have the space obviously you'd probably be better off with a bigger model but for those who need something smaller this is a good option, especially considering the price.
