Lemon Machine

We bought this dishwasher in a crunch because it was the only one short enough to fit under our countertop. It seems that dishwashers have gotten a little taller since we last purchased one several years ago. While the machine looks really nice with the integrated controls and sleek front, one doesn't buy a dishwasher as an aesthetic accessory, especially at $1500! We're ruined some good glassware in this machine because we've never had any experience with "etching" in any of the dishwashers that we have collectively owned over the last 20 years! The idea of two drawers was, at first, an attractive idea (no, we're not Orthodox Jewish, so we don't need a Sabbath-friendly machine as described in the user manual), but it ended up being a hindrance as larger items (cookie sheets, larger dinner plates and pots) simply don't fit. Unfortunately, much like a mother-in-law, we are stuck with this machine until we move or remodel and install a taller countertop. This machine simply doesn't cut the muster (let alone get mustard off of plates)!
