Having the silverware in the door or attached to the side of the bottom rack means that you have plenty of room for bowls and plates, which was a problem with the dishwasher we had before. Its also pretty quiet, just make sure to leave the blanket on it as I am pretty sure that is not so much for heat insulation but for sound. There are quite a few features as well. We dont wash our china or pots and pans in ours, so I cant speak to all of their usefulness. Anyway this is a great stainless dishwasher if you get I would suggest not using a drying cycle and simply cracking the door and let it sit overnight and you wont have to worry about drying anything.
All in all great dishwasher especially for the price.
What's great about it: Plenty of space to do lots of dishes good energy star rating
What's not so great: Cycles are a but long
I would recommend this to a friend!

I replaced a 14 yr old standard Whirlpool with this new model. Had it a couple of months now. It is very quiet; we watch TV in the adjacent room (no wall). Washes very well, and it does take a lot longer but I don't have a problem with that. I wash on the hottest cycle, use the heated dry and use rinse aid but there is still excess moisture on the inside walls of washer and the silverware in the basket still has water on them. I wrote the company but they didn't have any suggestions other than to use rinse aid and call for repair. I think it is the design; having the basket on the door and the basket isn't large enough for utensils to spread out. If I didn't need the room for dishes I would just move it to the main compartment on the bottom. The silverware basket is not as roomy as my old one; there is too much nesting going on and can't put cutlery in b/c of rust spots. I don't think this washer is any roomier than the old dishwasher, we fill it up and run it every couple of days just like the last one.
What's great about it: Quiet, cleans well
What's not so great: Silverware basket too crampedl Water on eating utensils even after heated dry
I would recommend this to a friend!

I recently replaced all of my kitchen appliances and this dishwasher is the one that I am most satisfied with. Everything comes out clean and the machine is as quite as one could hope for in a dishwasher.
The only negative is the regular cycle takes about ninety minutes.

Purchased online sight-unseen, which was a mistake-- recommend you check this out in the store before purchasing, I would have chosen a model with a sturdier door and latch. Door is wobbly when open, just feels very cheap.
As others have noted, the cycle is very long.
Piece of advice: a dishwasher installation is NOT an easy DIY project-- lots of plumbing, very hard-to-reach spaces, takes a very long time. If you have the $$$, get someone to install it for you, you'll save a lot of swearing (and probably damage to your floors and countertop).
If you do install it yourself, I recommend that you purchase an install kit ($20 or so, Best Buy will recommend you purchase it when you buy it). This dishwasher did NOT come with an elbow joint for the water connection-- had I not ordered the kit at the same time, I would have had to make a trip to the hardware store. Also, if you have a fixed copper tube for your hot water, I recommend replacing it with the flexible, shower hose-like tube that comes with the install kit. MUCH easier to install, and it allows you to rotate the elbow joint so it's facing to the side vs. facing to the rear of the washer, making it far easier to tighten the water connection.
Anyway, good enough washer for the price, but if I had to do it over again, I would have shopped around a bit in person and maybe bought something a little nicer.

This dishwasher is fantastic. It does run a little on the long side for a cycle, but the dishes come out immaculate. Lots of space inside and it runs very quiet. Definite recommendation!
What's great about it: Great design, quiet
What's not so great: Long wash cycle
I would recommend this to a friend!

Look out for an electrical issue. Mine died after 2 months and I'm now waiting 3 1/2 weeks for an authorized technician to service the dishwasher.
What's great about it: Cleans well
What's not so great: Long cycle time, broke down after 2 months
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cleans 10 times better than my old dishwasher, very roomy, can fit dishes from family dinners, only need to run every 1 1/2-2 days. Dishes need only light rinse or scraping before loading. No food residue noted. Easy to clean exterior. Very affordable for the quality of product.
What's great about it: Very clean wash, quiet, sleek appearance
What's not so great: Cycle is a little long start to finish
I would recommend this to a friend!
