This dishwasher is excellent! Firstly, it looks great; it is stainless steel and on the outside and on the inside, so it is very sharp. It has many options depending on what type of cleaning you want. For example, there is a Pro Scrub option that allows you to clean pots and pans easier.
This requires a longer wait time but the results are fantastic. There is also a delicate setting for Fine China. This is great for people who do not want to wash their Fine China by hand but are paranoid about putting it into the dishwasher. The nice thing about this dishwasher is that no matter what setting you use, the dishes come out very clean. I usually use the "Normal" setting and I have had no problems.
Another great feature is that the racks inside are removable. This is a huge help when I have too many bowls to load and not enough space. There are four removable racks and this includes the upper rack which is designed to hold slim utensils since it is the highest and smallest one. As mentioned above, some glasses are very tall and must be loaded onto the lower rack since they do not fit on the upper one.
The upper rack also has two lids that can be placed down to keep small glasses in place. I put these lids down if I am cleaning baby bottles or other small items that I don't want to move while the washer is running. Regular sized pots, pans, and dishes usually fit without any issues. Our dishes are square and we still have no issues loading them although round dishes are easier and fit better on the lower rack.
There have been times when there has been food particles on a glass or even a plat on occassion. This is rare though and we simply place the item back in for the next cycle. Again, this is rare and we usually get optimal results with this dishwasher. Overall, I am very happy with this dynamic and strong dishwasher, and I would have no problem recommending it to everyone!
Pros
- Does an excellent job (spotless cleaning!)
- Very quiet!
Cons
- Cycles can be very long depending on the setting
- Some items do not fit easily into the dishwasher (very tall glasses)
