My parents bought this dishwasher for me as a birthday gift because my dishwasher had died and I hadn't gotten around to replacing it. I was pretty excited and my dad even brought it over and installed it. I didn't use it immediately, but when I did, I was pretty disappointed. It is true that it is quiet. That is probably the one feature that I could care less about. What is important to me is clean dishes. It cleaned most of them okay, but the plastics were filmy and the silverware was spotty and the knives even had some rust on them! I figured out that this has no dry cycle and that it is supposed to use high heat water that then evaporates to dry the dishes. Yeah, that doesn't work. The dishes stay wet and a side benefit is the stench. It smells seriously bad in there. I have to open the door and leave it cracked to keep from having that smell. I've used it four times with the same results.
The other problem is the beeping that occurs when the cycle is over. It doesn't stop, so no washing dishes before bed because you have to wait for it to be done - could be hours - so that you can open the door to make the beeping stop. It's awful.
I was super disappointed and didn't want to hurt my parents feelings, but I realized that this dishwasher was so awful that I just can't live with it so we're returning it this weekend. Looks like I'm going to go with the Maytag. It gets a ton of really great reviews.
I cannot recommend this machine. Really, do not do it.
Pros quiet
Cons small, smells, doesn't dry, doesn't clean, beeps forever, special soap
I would not recommend this to a friend
