Product review (3 stars): This dishwasher is a good idea in theory
This dishwasher is a good idea in theory, but think about these things.  It is MUCH bigger, heavier and overall more cumbersome than you think it is.  I looked at the dimensions prior to purchase and measured my countertop.  But that still didn't prepare me for its size.  A big downside is the leakage.  On my SECOND use of the machine, the back hose was leaking everywhere. I ensured that the hose was on straight, and as tight as I could turn it with a wrench, and I still have to put a small piece of tupperware behind it to gather the water every time I use it (which doesn't always work).  That said, the actual function of the dishwasher is impressive - my dishes are incredibly clean and much cleaner than past dishwashers.
