- Features
- Hard Food Disposer: true (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.)
- Operating Sound Level: 52 decibels adjusted (Today's appliances are pretty quiet. To get a sense for how quiet you'll need, think about having a conversation in the same room. Choose from Not as Quiet (56 dBA or higher. You'll likely need to raise your voice); Quiet (50-55 dBA. Need to raise your voice slightly); Very Quiet (43-49 dBA. Easily have a conversation right next the appliance); and Nearly Silent (42 dBA or lower. You'll hardly know the appliance is on).)
- Delay Start: true (Allows you to program the appliance to automatically run at a later time. This feature helps you coordinate with your household’s water needs, noise preferences, and more. Additionally, operating your appliance during off-peak hours may reduce energy costs.)

- 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.)

Nice for a condo or apartment unit space
We live in a condo and find that it is relatively quiet and a perfect size for the unit. I forget it’s on at times. The machine is easy to clean although you may need something a little stronger than dishwashing cleaner. We use a degreaser. Just check the filter about once a week and make sure you keep it snapped into place.

Still waiting on damage claim resolution
I'd say 2 stars, but BB classifies 2-stars as "fair", while my experience so far is better classified as "poor" (1-star)". Original installation team did not connect the water hose properly, which caused a massive amount of water damage to the cabinet under the sink. To their credit, BB sent a new team to fix the issue/properly install the dishwasher (albeit almost a full week after original installation). The dishwasher has been working properly since. I appreciate BB appropriately taking a certain amount of money off my purchase. The reason this review remains a 1 star is because I still have not received confirmation of a damage claim being opened up. The cabinet beneath the kitchen sink is not functional. It's been over 2 weeks since the BB support agent said that a claim would be opened within 5 business days. The BB agents have been kind and responsive over the phone, which I appreciate. Will be happy to amend my review once the damage claim is processed and resolved
