Quiet
Simple Controls
Cons
Awkward Loading
Doesn't Clean Thoroughly
Best Uses
Comment:
Both the top and bottom shelf are very difficult to load. The top basket is the worst because the glasses want to lean the wrong way and the bowls won't stack neatly. Silverware in the door basket doesn't get clean. It is almost impossible to fit silverware in the separators for the door baskets because the wholes are to small. The plastic surface on the interior stains easily and a film forms on the surface that lingers and leaves an appearance that things aren't getting clean.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It gets the dishes clean. I find loading the silverware basket a bit awkward within the machine, and if I take it out. it doesn't stand up well. Otherwise, I love it.
