For the money, you could do a lot better

This machine was installed by the builder and isn't one I would have chosen myself. Overall cleaning performance is fine, but its thoughtless layout and feature implementation make this something I could not recommend.
The rack layout is such that you can't fit very much in it. We're a family of two and a simple weeknight dinner fills this machine. We usually have a few things that need to be washed by hand because it won't fit.
The silverware basket is right in front of the flip-open detergent dispenser, so if you have any utensils in the slots next to the detergent dispenser, it won't open. A better design would be to have a slide open dispenser.
It's loud compared previous dishwashers I've owned. Sure you can still have a conversation in the kitchen with it on, but you won't ever mistakenly think you forgot to start it.
The programming is awful. Let's look at delay start. The concept is simple, load the dishwasher and set it to start several hours later. While it is that simple in this dishwasher, if you decide to add anything after setting the initial delay (say, a cup you've been using in the evening and want to have washed overnight), you need to hit the start button again. Every. Single. Time. You also need to close the door within 4 seconds of pressing the start button. This is just lazy software engineering. A better solution would be to have the machine just continue the countdown and start at the scheduled time without having to press start again.
Lastly, this machine likes to think it's a musical instrument. Every button press, cycle complete, door open, door close... it beeps or plays a little song. You're an appliance, not an instrument. Cute at first... thankfully this feature can be disabled.
I already ordered another dishwasher from another brand and cannot wait to get rid of this one.
