  • Features
    • Drying Method: Heated drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)

  • Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    It Works!

    Bought this for a rental. Tenant hasn’t complained. A bit pricy after haul away, installation and installation kit charges are added.

  • Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    Worried about longevity.

    So far so good but I’m worried about longevity. I see that there is already some wear and tear and I’ve not yet had it for a year. I am not unrealistic and I do expect to have a quality piece of equipment.
