Product review (5 stars): Clever and elegant solution to a vexing problem
It seems that industrial designers, in their quest for sleek and modern minimalism for appliances, forget about the practical aspects of owning and using a dishwasher. So now we spent over a thousand dollars for a great dishwasher which can't tell us it has completed its job and the dishes inside are clean. No little light or small LCD on the outside proclaiming "I'm clean!"

So in a family household there can be confusion about whether what's inside the dishwasher needs to be unloaded and put away or be run to clean. This simple little gadget solves the problem elegantly without ugly, cutesy signs on the outside (and try using one of those magnetic signs on a stainless steel one).

I read that some purchasers had problems with quality but we've not experienced it at all. We liked it so much we bought one for each dishwasher. Works like a charm. High recommend.
