- Features
- Hard Food Disposer: false (This feature has blades to chop and disintegrate hard food particles, making them small enough to easily drain away. This prevents them from being recirculated back onto dishware and allows for easy maintenance.)
- 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.)

- Cycle Status Lights: true (Lights on the control panel that indicate which cycle is in use and/or its current status. Know when to unload with a simple glance.)
- Filtered Water: true (Internal water filter(s) remove minerals and chemicals from hard water before the wash cycle. Filtered water is less likely to leave mineral deposits or stains, meaning your dishware will look cleaner for longer.)
- Water Soil Sensor: false (Feature that measures how dirty the water is throughout the wash cycle and adjusts the energy and water usage as needed. This can increase washing efficiency and may reduce energy costs.)
- Wireless Connectivity: None (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)

A: The metal trim that comes with the dishwasher will cover the gap. However, I found it still needed a piece of 3/4" trim above the unit. If possible, I'd recommend a 1 1/2" trim above and not crank the legs to their maximum.

Waste of money
Gets the dishes clean and thats it. There are so many reasons not to buy this product. The controls on the outside are small and hard to read. Everytime you open or close the all the light light up like it is going to start. You have to press the "Review Setting" every time or the dishes stay wet. Who wants wet dishes?? This is just plain stupid. Here is another one, when you fill up the container for the "jet dry" there is no indicator how full or empty it is. The racks are so badly designed designed it will not hold up the bowls. They just fall over. I added small pieces of plastic tubing about an inch long and now the bowls stay up. Over all this appliance is TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. BUY ANOTHER BRAND. If I could get my money back I would. No appliance stores caries these on the floor to look and compare. We had to buy this from pictures on the internet. I am looking for an other one. I do not care I spent $950.00 for this. As soon as I find a good I am going to purchase it and throw this one in the trash. IT IS THAT BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!. First picture is of Jet dry holder, no way to tell much is in there.

Clean dishes but some design problems
The dishes come out clean and dry but I don't like the interior design as it doesn't hold as many dishes as my previous apartment size dishwasher and the display is almost impossible to read. The only thing that lights up when you push the start button is how many minutes for the load to finish.
