Product review (5 stars): Works.
Having read previous reviews I was not sure of this product but the price - $99 on sale at Target - was worth a shot.

Perhaps it depends which Chinese assembly line this product comes off of but it works perfect for me.  Quiet, and in 6 hours I have run this through two complete cleaning cycles.  Blue tape was just on any other product and not hard to remove.  Thought the directions could have been a little better as you were not told where to add the water but given your choices there was only one location.  Have no idea of the longevity but out of the box it works great.
