Product review (5 stars): I think it's great
If you pre-rinse the dishes and use the correct detergent, it works great. I tried several detergents, and found that Cascade Complete does an excellent job, with absolutely no spotting (with my tap water, anyway). You do need to be creative when loading it, but I've crammed it full and the dishes still came out great. I moved the cup rack to cover the glaring hole in the middle of the basket, giving more usable space. I've owned several full size dishwashers, both portable and built-in, and this cleans as well, or better than the larger models
