The good news: the product is quiet and works well and has a good reputation for dependability. I like the red light that shines on the floor when the cycle begins which lets you know everything started working as expected.
The bad news: I was replacing an existing dishwasher and encountered two surprises so I'd like to see the product description improved in two ways. First, it needs to point out the electric connection expects to plug into a wall receptacle; if you want to hard-wire the unit you need to order an optional "terminal block". Since I didn't want to wait and order one, I installed a standard outlet on the wall behind the unit which unfortunately took up too much space front-to-back and the unit protruded. I ended up with a special recessed outlet and the unit barely fits. Second, the water supply line does not fit a standard 3/8 dishwasher supply line. I had to get an adapter to the unit's garden hose thread.
It was frustrating to attempt testing the unit (prior to final installation) which appeared to be dead until I figured out the door must be open to use the controls. This is not mentioned in the instructions and I now understand the product controls are normally hidden and are not usable when the door is closed.
