Product review (5 stars): Experts recommend this tray
Had a huge kitchen faucet leak that destroyed flooring. It wasn't the dishwasher but could have been. Before putting the new flooring in I bought this Dishwasher pan and a battery operated moisture alarm to sit on the tray. This tray is what the experts recommend. It doesn't HOLD the water so you can't see the leak...it aims the water out to the front of the dishwasher so you see it (hopefully!) before it soaks into the subflooring etc. and the water sits for days, weeks or whatever. Sounds odd, I know, but I'd rather get on the leak sooner than later and with the little alarm added...it gives me some time to act. I ordered this online because it was the same price as the hardware chain and came quicker with Amazon Prime...2 days... I needed it quick for the installers! The installer said "this is perfect" and explained how the idea of aiming the leak OUT the front made sense because I didn't get it and was, at first, disappointed that there were three sides that could hold some water and the third side was open!
