Product review (5 stars): Call your friends over and party on.
The fact that I place the dishwasher far from sink just to reserve food prep area does the magic of hiding excess length of hoses too. The distance from machine to sink faucet is just matches with hoses' length. So I don't see hoses here and there.
My height clearance is exactly 17.25". And the unit is 17.24". Making it look semi build-in. This issue took me 2 days to make solid decision and place order.
I believe SPT, Edge Star, Danby, and many other brands use same manufacture. There is no way each brand makes same dimensions, specs, features, and interiors. Therefore, I opt SPT based on its simple exterior design and reasonable price, since I think each brand will perform the same anyway.
I ran the machine twice today (first day). Came out sparking clean and hot.  No water spots (I use
Cascade Gel with Clorox. And Jet Dry rinse aid)
Washing cycle is a little longer than what it says on manual. Running pretty quietly, except when waste water come out into sink (sound like fully opened running water out of faucet into stainless sink), but no complaint tho we don't have room for a built-in.
Surely it has heat drying (many users are not sure about this)
Installation took me 5 mins. That includes 3 mins reading manual.
Just buy it. Life is too short to hand wash dishes
