Product review (3 stars): NICE WHILE IT LASTS!!  DISPOSABLE APPLIANCE!!
i've owned 2 edgestar dishwashers, and althoguh they do a pretty good job, and they're compact, they are throw away appliances when they break. The two edgestar units i've owned, have lasted an average of 4 years each with light use ( a load every 2-3 days). I'm a handy guy, and although these units are simple to repair as per the website, they don't carry the replacement parts anymore for a unit that's only 4 years old (i can still buy parts for my mom's 20 yr old GE dishwasher). The Drain pump died. The Manager of edgestar tech support told me that my expectations for this unit were way too high, and that i should just replace the whole dishwasher because they don't have the parts anymore for the unit. That's not only frustrating, it's just bad business, and bad for the enviroment. It's still in great condition, but now it's junk. If you do buy this unit, make sure you buy the extended warranty so that you don't pay out of pocket for repairs. I never thought of a dishwasher as a short term appliance like a toaster oven, or a coffee maker but alas..... that's how the manufacturer views this product.
