[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I downsized into a smaller sized condo and I downsized the dishwasher... and I love it. I run it more often than a standard sized unit, but it's quiet and has plenty of great features.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We Love ours, It is so quiet wnen running sometimes I can hear a very small water flow noise. But that is all. The machine is easy to clean, inside and out and looks very nice.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The dishwasher performs wonderfully and it's the perfect size and capacity for my needs. The big problem is that the installation instructions for installing the kick plates around the rubber skirt are so unclear, that my contractor could never could figure out how to get it correctly installed. After he was done, the bottom of the door would catch on the rubber skirt and make a loud pop - obviously not good. (I only did that twice!). Then, I watched a YouTube video to try to fix it (because I couldn't understand the written instructions & diagrams either). I attached a different kick plate, and rearranged the skirt to tuck behind it, and now the door opens and closes smoothly, but I could only figure out how to install one of the three supplied kick plates, and the skirt is quite loose behind it, so it is still not correctly put together.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced an older 18" dishwasher, and nobody makes this size to fit the 34-1/4" gap. This unit comes with nothign to fill the gap either, so there's just a hole on the top of the unit. I will have to fill it in myself. I wish it came with a strip of stainless steel to match the unit on top.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just installed this in an older condo with a galley kitchen that didn't have an opening for a dishwasher. I knew I didn't want to lose too much cabinet space so this made sense. Machines is nice and quiet and has a lot more space then you'd expect for an 18". The silverware tray and adjustable 2nd shelf are awesome. Would buy another easily.
Manual is not user friendly. Can hardly see the serial or modle numbers. For an 18inch the dishwasher is poorly designed because there are too many & various slots that take up the space in this small unit. A simplier design would have made this dishwasher a 4 star. I'm being generious by giving it a 2 star.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great dishwasher for a household of 2-3. We use it almost everyday - and the smaller size makes unloading quick. The water jets are powerful and will knock lighter plastic items around if not clipped in. The bottom rack tines are close - we typically separate dishes using every other slot along with the third rack for utensils.
