Product review (5 stars): best amazon purchase ever, hands down
Literally the best purchase I've ever made. I HATE doing dishes by hand - seriously, hate it with a passion. I spent about two months researching and procrastinating before ordering this dishwasher, and I did not and do not currently regret it at all. I was nervous because of all the reports of leaking, and the first time I ran it mine did leak. But it was a super super simple fix - all I did was reattach and tighten the hoses. The attachments are made of plastic, not metal, so you have to expect a little fiddling will need to be done to get the fit right. The first time you run the dishwasher just run it on the rinse cycle and stand there and babysit it for a bit, tighten and readjust hoses and fixtures as needed and you should be good to go. The dishwasher came in perfect condition and it looks great - do not confuse 'silver' with stainless steel though, because if you have stainless steel kitchen appliances like I do the dishwasher will not match them. But I honestly don't care because the thing is so amazing. I have it up on my counter in the corner, kind of hidden from immediate view until you fully enter the kitchen. MAKE SURE YOU MEASURE THE SPACE WHERE YOU WANT TO PUT THIS MONSTER. It's pretty big, and counter heights are no freakin' joke. I'm lucky mine just fits under my counters, but if you get this dishwasher and it doesn't fit - like several of the reviewers on here - that is NOT the company's fault. Be an adult, take 5 minutes outta your day and measure your kitchen space before purchasing, it'll save you a huge headache. Also, everyone was right, large plates don't fit in this thing. I live in a large upstairs apartment and this dishwasher has been a lifesaver. Obviously built in or full-size models are preferable, but if you live on your own/with a small family/in an apartment, this thing is perfect. It is myself, my fiance and our two year old in our apartment, and if we use the dishwasher every day/multiple times a day depending on the content of the load(s) it keeps all our dishes in rotation. No complaints, this dishwasher is worth every penny.
