My dishwasher was a bought from either Home Depot or Lowes, as a gift from my in-laws. We got about two an a half years ago. I love it. I run a load every day, and even though it's a lower priced sort of basic model, it works really well. It even cleans the messiest of lasagna pans if you use the pots and pans cycle.

As far as features go, there are several cycles available; light wash, regular and the aforementioned pots and pans. Of course, there is a rinse only option too. And my favorite, the high temp wash. Along with those options, there is a delay pad where you can choose to delay the start for two, four, or six hours. It's also worth noting that there are indicator lights that let you know exactly what cycle you are in. Oh, one more great feature; the silverware holder is attached to the door, and can be very easily removed to load and unload the contents of it. I find that it's great for taking to the sink and loading all my silver there, without having to bend repeatedly. It even opens up so you can put in small odd shaped items.

If I had to find fault with this machine at all, it would be the seal. It seems to get dirty rather easily, and when that happens you get a very small amount of water on the floor in mid-cycle.

All in all, this is a great machine, one I would recommend.
