Low power, works well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The installation and custom panel instructions were detailed and helpful, and I have no complaints besides that the drying mechanism can sometimes leave things a bit wet especially in Express mode. I think maybe they omitted a heater to save space and energy, which is great for simplifying the electrical work and keeping plastic safe but makes using JetDry more important etc.
The wifi connection can be a little intimidating especially when there's a firmware update and it just sits there with all red lights for a few minutes. I was about to pull the plug! But be patient and it should work.
The bottom/edge of the custom panel can sometimes be finicky to line up with cabinetry in a seamless way, but I just ignored it and left a small gap all the way around. So it's not seamless but it still looks good. I could try making it more seamless with some fine-tuned shaving or false panels but it's not that important.
I purchased the panel ready model. Note the size of the panel must be about 2 inches shorter than the adjacent panel in order to open the door. They will not match the adjacent doors if there is a raised panel. The base then become more visible. The specs were not clear so I had to order a panel twice. The directions to add the panel were also not clear ( thus no photos) as I have not figured this out. My plates have a thin lip on them and are too large for the narrowly placed rings on the rack. The machine cleans well and is quiet
