Product review (3 stars): I didn't have to wash the dishes, but it's disappointing
I bought this unit to replace an eight-year-old EdgeStar countertop model that had started malfunctioning--sadly, it costs so much to repair things these days that if anything is wrong beyond something basic and obvious, you're better off buying new.  I loved that EdgeStar, and this machine has been a disappointment in comparison.

Pros:
Clean dishes that I didn't have to wash myself
It's very quiet
It's a nice pale silver color

Cons:
The interior layout is very limiting unless you happen to own exactly the plates and glasses it was designed for.  We use mugs, not little cups and saucers, and those will only fit in the glasses section.  Which means the glasses, in our household generally pint-sized, have to go on the plate racks.  But the tines of the racks are not tall enough to hold the glasses steady, and in fact don't really hold our larger plates steady either.  So far nothing has broken in there but I've ordered a silicon net to ensure that everything stays tethered down.

The instruction manual is not updated for this machine.  For example, the wash instructions tell you to turn a knob to start wash cycles, but this unit features all buttons.  You expect some idiosyncrasies in translation with things manufactured overseas, but these instructions do not describe this product as it exists now.

I have yet to figure out the right amount of detergent to use.  The pre-wash and wash cups in the machine are labeled 15 and 25.  The machine came with a cup marked 60ml and 30ml, and a scoop marked 20ml.  The "Wach [sic] Cycle Table" in the manual gives detergent amounts ranging from 15 to 18ml, without telling you how much of that is pre-wash and wash, or if you're supposed to use pre-wash at all, or really anything at all helpful like whether to use liquid or powder detergent.  I have yet to figure out the right amount of detergent to use and have had to run the soak cycle after every load to get rid of excess soap residue, even when using what seems to be like far less detergent than the manual calls for.

Really don't like that the dry cycle isn't optional but is rather built in to all but the lightest cycle.  I gather from the questions that have been asked that this is not a heated drying cycle, so at least it's not using much electricity, but I would much prefer to air dry the dishes.

I do not like that you can't tell where in the cycle the machine is at during a wash.  My old EdgeStar had a knob so that you could see where in the cycle it was.  With these buttons, if you didn't happen to take note of the time when you started the dishwasher, then you have no idea when it will end.  This is especially problematic given that I'd like to interrupt it when the dry portion of the cycle begins so that I can open the door and let the dishes air dry.

All in all, I wish I could have bought a machine exactly like my old EdgeStar, but unfortunately, all of the compact dishwashers on the market now seem to have this same layout inside and probably have most of the same issues.  Going to work on figuring out the proper detergent amounts and how to identify the dry cycle for a little while longer, but as it is, not sure we'll be keeping this model.  Then again, also not sure there's anything better out there right now.
