- 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.)

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.

Absolutely love this dishwasher! Fits perfectly in my tiny kitchen and plenty of room for pots and pans. I love the multi choice options for loads, and a time saver option also.

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.

Don't love it
It's a lot louder than I expected and I really don't like the rack configurations. In my old dishwasher, I could put any dish anywhere. This one you have to put what is intended for that section. For example, some of the pegs are so close together and angled in a way that you can't use them for much other than plates. Dishes get clean but heated dry still leaves them soaking wet.
