Product review (5 stars): Stays where you put it, can be placed in inconspicuous location
Pros:
- stays on the setting you put it on (unlike many wheel versions)
- can be placed where you only see it when dishwasher is open (at least on my dishwasher)
- adhesive it came with is very effective
- I don't have to inspect the dishes to figure out whether it has been run!

Cons:
- training your husband to change the setting every time :)

When I stumbled across a similar product, I knew I needed something like this. If you have multiple people running the dishwasher and it isn't emptied immediately after it runs every time, it's easy to lose track of whether the dishes in there are clean or dirty. I'd open it and it would be half full... Ok, grab a dish to see if it's clean. Can't tell until I've looked at 3 dishes since we are those wierdos who thoroughly rinse every dish before it goes in. What a waste of time! I researched every style/brand of this kind of thing I could find. It seemed that most of the round ones would become turned on their own. Plus with a baby on the way, I knew it was just a matter of time before spinning the marker would be son's favorite past-time! I read in another review that this one could be mounted on top of the door or even on the side of the door, depending on your cabinet and counter-top placement -- it didn't have to be mounted garishly on the front of my pretty stainless steel dishwasher in easy reach of baby! I was able to mount mine on the top of the door so I see it only when I pull the door open. It's still stuck there tight after 14 months of use. Now, training your husband to change the setting on it consistently is a different matter. Instructions on this are not included with the product. (For me, I find it easy to remember to switch it to clean when I start it and to dirty when I empty it, particularly because I have it located just above the operating buttons.)

Update 4/2017: Still going strong after several years! Just as it was on day one.
