Product review (4 stars): USE CAUTION
Ther is a little use "gotcha" you need to be aware of if you buy one of these. There is a child lock that is suppoused to be activated by holding down the sanitize buttion for 3 seconds. If you do this by accident the dishwasher will power on and all the lights cycle except the rinse button will stay on and the unit will not start washing dishes. Re-filling the jef-dry dispenser will do nothing. If this happens hold the sanitize button down 3 seconds it will flash then the rinse button will go off and it will go into the last wash mode you had it in and start. Found out the hard wasy now back to the review.

Just re-did the kitchen initallly from electric stove to gas stove then the rest to stainless to match the new stove.

Kitchen looks great. The last and hardest thing we bought was the dishwasher. After the stove the fridge and washer/dryer was easy. Went into a big box store to get a price match on a new stainless steel hood for the stove and they had fridges and washer/dryer on sale at 40 to 50% off. Checked reviews and bought Samsung. Later found out JD Powers had the washer/dryer tops in relabili6ty and the fridge second.

O.K. what does that have to do with a dishwasher review? It was as hard to decide on a dishwasher as it was easy to decide on the others.

It is rare to find good reviews on any dishwasher. Problems with drying, loading, how well it cleaned or more specific did not clean was everywhere.

Decided on this unit because it matched the fridge. Ok not the best reason but at that point it was live with the white Maytag that still did everything very well or go stainless and decor won out.

Ordered and got installed. Washed the first few loads with more than a little apprehension. It does the job. Dishes and glasses are clean. It is very quite and the stainless interior was the best looking in the price range.

Only problem is drying. Being energy efficient it does not dry as hot as the Maytag, but it is a lot less noisy doing it. There is some moisture left in glasses that have a recessed bottom. The rest no problem.

For all but one have used the auto feature. It fills then runs a couple of sweeps stops for a couple of seconds then washes. It take about an hour during which time it is super quite. You could literally carry on a conservation in front of it not like the old days when you had to leave the area.

It does have heated dry or appears to since when you open it there is still quite a bit of heat.

Fot the bucks it is a good deal, however the exterior is not stainless as it fails the magnet test. The inside passes. Magnets will not stick to staniless steel which I am sure makes many Moms and GrandMoms unhappy with not being able to turn the front of the fridge into a child drawing etc gallery.

Also don't on this as most new dishwahers forget to use a drying agent.
