A few things to note:
- You must buy a "dishwasher installation" kit, in addition to the dishwasher and the installation package. The basic dishwasher installation components are NOT included with your Best Buy dishwasher or installation purchase, and the installers aren't willing to reuse existing cables and hoses. Factor that into your decision.
- When you buy the specialty installation, the delivery of your dishwasher and the installation will occur at different times - possibly separated by a significant period of time. Be prepared to store the dishwasher for awhile before an install appointment is available.
- It says it in the fine print, but note that the vendor for the installation may charge you for a local plumbing permit . Our installers dropped an additional $150 charge on us the day before the proposed install - weeks after ordering the install package. Although the installer said we needed a permit, our city doesn't even require it for installation of a dishwasher on existing plumbing.
- We had originally scheduled our installation for the day after our dishwasher was delivered. The installer later called us to say they had overbooked and would need to reschedule for several days later. Shortly thereafter, the installer called AGAIN and needed to reschedule again for a WEEK later. Ultimately, we cancelled the installation and installed the dishwasher ourselves rather than continue to wait (and jeopardize further delays).

Your mileage may vary.... at the discounted prices Best Buy sometimes offers, this may not be a terrible deal. The dishwasher was a pain to install myself, so having a pro is a plus. But just be prepared to be patient and expect the unexpected!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
