I ordered this unit after contemplating purchasing one of those newer counter-top models which looked kinda cool but rather insubstantial for the often grimy job of cleaning dirty dishes and flatware!
This GE slim unit looks well made and seems solid enuf after several months of light but regular use.
It also has a stainless steel interior as well.
(Btw, after experimenting w/ different kinds of liquid dishwasher detergents I finally settled on using the premesured pods which I simply toss in the bottom just prior to using. The dishes come out spotless and squeaky clean every time.)
I also use the shortest and most basic clean and rinse cycle as well, and the dishes as I said are as clean as I ever have seen any dishes!
Another quick note, I also no longer rinse the dishes before placing them in the rack. I do scrape any large remaining scraps of food, gravy, crumbs etc. but leave the remaining residue for the washer as this coating actually allows the dish detergents to adhere to the surface of the dish even better than if they had been rinsed prior to running a wash cycle. This both saves water and time but also increases the effectiveness of the washing machine process as well.
Anyway, it's also a doubly useful item in my very compact little log-cabin kitchen, because w/ the addition of a large cutting board on top it's now also a movable food prep island as well.
I decided on getting a dishwasher in the first place because despite not really minding do the dishes by hand I just never felt that with the maximum amount of hot water even my rubber-gloved hands could tolerate it was still not sufficiently hot enuf to sterilize the dirty dishes well enuf for my liking!
So yes this is a ringing endorsement, so far with absolutely no downsides that I can as yet identify!
If you have a small kitchen like mine where a built-in dishwasher is simply impractical and unwanted yet like me you want the through dish cleaning and sterilization that only happens with very hot water, then this is a very good choice in my opinion!
