Product review (5 stars): It washed my dishes
I received this washer 3 weeks ago.  I'm and old biddy but I can lift 50 lbs.  This thing is a big square carton that the ups man end over ended into my kitchen right in front of the door.  I cut open the box and tried to lift it but could not  get a good hold of it.  My fingers got wet gripping the bottom of the appliance but the box was not wet.  I decided to ignor the fact that there must have been water in the machine.

I had to wait for help to lift it off the floor.  It was only a couple days that I couldn't walk through the kitchen because of the spread of cut open boxes.  I knew going in that it was 3/4" too tall for my countertop.  I had it put on my cuttingboard "island" but that turned out to be top heavy and unstable.  I found a shelving unit at a thrift store and thought it would be a nice project (I was still opitmistic).....I glued and clamped and sanded and stained and added casters and a new top.  Every step of that project fought with me as much as possible.  I got that done, had the dishwasher moved over to its new home, rolled it to the sink and found that the faucet adapter didn't fit my faucet.

There is a set of 3 adapters on amazon to make that right.  Many reviews said it solved just my problem.  I even paid extra postage to get it here faster, since  by this time I was anxious to use my new toy/helper.  None of the adapters worked.  I could not feel or see any threads on the faucet.  I opted to get a new faucet.

My son came from out of town and installed the new faucet for me.  It was fine last night.  Today after his departure, a leak developed.  I could wait no longer.  I hooked up the dishwasher hoses and fired it up (after throwing towels down in the cupboard and on the floor.)  It ran through the "light" cycle without a hitch. It does not make a lot of noise.  It seems sturdy.  My dishes are clean.  Much of the excitement of my new appliance has ebbed with the string of problems, but if it continues to work and after the plumber leaves, I'm sure in a year I will love having it.
