I purchased this item to replace an Edgestar dishwasher purchased in 2015. While that one still worked, I wanted a replacement to a newer model. This one is relatively quiet, and seems to clean the dishes much better, without leaning residue, and the controls/display is nicer, and now includes a countdown timer to show how much longer is left in the cycle.
It appears there’s no way to turn off the led display. At the end of the cycle, it displays “End”, and after being opened, it displays “-:- -“.

I bought this in October for one of my apartments which I just completed. I was missing the mounting brackets and there was a slight tear in the plastic condensation shield. I called the factory, and they answered the phone immediately. The customer service person “Brym” was really on the ball and looked up the parts and I will have them in a couple of days. This was so easy. Even without mounting the dishwasher had been tested thoroughly first and works great.

I waited until I had used this dishwasher for a full year in order to give a fair assessment. I will start with the positives. The dishwasher was well-packed. It arrived much faster than was originally promised, and it did not arrive damaged (unlike a previous dishwasher I ordered online). Another positive: the dishwasher looks nice in my kitchen, and I like the full stainless steel tub. I think the dishes dry better because the steel tub retains heat better than a plastic tub.
Now for the negatives. If you want clean dishes from this dishwasher, you will need to do two things: pre-rinse your dishes well and always set the cycle to “heavy soil.” If you are looking for a dishwasher that gets off dried on food and heavy food residue, look elsewhere. As for noise, it isn’t terribly loud, but it HAS gotten louder over the course of the year that I have used it, and that is concerning. The dishwasher does not feel well-built, and I do not expect to get many years of service out of it. Already, the wheels on the lower rack have worn out and won’t turn properly, making it hard to roll the rack in and out. As others have noted, the rinse aid dispenser has never worked right. It displays an empty code within a couple days of refilling it whether I put a lot in or a little. It never worked right, and I have given up n trying to use it. It just wastes expensive rinse aid. The design of the upper dish rack seems fine for fitting dishes in, but the lower rack has so many unmovable tines so close together that it is very hard to get many of my dishes to fit right. I handwash a lot of dishes that I used to put in th3 dishwasher because there is simply no way to fit them into this dishwasher. A word of advice, don’t try to put anything tall next to the door when loading the lower rack. The detergent will not dispense properly and the dishes will not get clean. Also, the dishwasher cleans better with powdered detergent. I tried a couple different gels and the dishes had a film on them (even with rinse aid) until I switched to powder.
All in all, though, you’d be better off with a dishwasher that is more solidly built and cleans more reliably.

I read a LOT of reviews for 18 inch, compact dishwashers. I spent hours and hours researching. I chose this one and I’m glad I did. But here’s what you need to know:
Pros: it works! It’s the best, least expensive compact machine. It has a one hour “rapid” wash which works great. A display showing how much time is left on the cycle, stays fairly clean from fingerprints, holds large dinner plates no problem and looks nice in my galley (kitchen – we live on a boat)
Cons: extremely hard to install (we did not purchase the install kit, maybe this would have been helpful?). The water is plumbed out the front of the machine (super weird) so if you don’t have some funky plumbing parts, you’ll have to jerryrig the kick plate on as it will no longer fit.
The layout for stacking dishes is a bit odd, if it runs out of drying agent (I use white vinegar) there will be a code on the screen and you won’t be able to start it until you refill.
I believe the pros out way the cons and recommend this dishwasher if you’re in the market for an 18 inch.

Seems to clean dishes very well and easy to operate.

The service guy had never installed one of these. He was impressed by it tho. The hookup went without a hitch.. It replaced one that was installed 25 or so years ago. So far everything about this dish washer has impressed me. It holds a lot more dishes than the kenmore it replaced. And i guess by design.. everything about it WORKS! IT gives/gave an error code tho.. but it’s cus there was no spot free drying liquid in it’s reservoir. It wasn’t broken.. just a nag to remind you for best performance use a liquid drying aid. I like this dishwasher, half the price of a bosh.. with similar functions. and i assume performance cus it does it’s job.
update: keeps having e4 error.. i can use it a few days then another e4 error (overflow).. takes over 24 hours to clear an e4 error.. i have to shut off breaker in house to reset washer cus there is no breaker on washer. i don’t see any suds there is no reason this error is occuring. but drying it out thoroughly (24+ hours) is the only way to get this thing working again. i warn against buying this.. it is crap. you will spend more time trying to get it working than washing dishes. when you cycle breakers the e4 light is still on.. and the washer is stuck in an almost never ending drain cycle with nothing to drain.. this dishwasher turned into a nightmare. manufacturer 1. put breaker accessible to user on front panel 2. make it less sensitive and more reliable 3. display your error codes in english not codes.

It is the perfect size for our park model. It does a great job with getting the dishes clean and is very quiet, highly recommend.

I’ve had this dishwasher for a year and it works great. There’s hardly ever food leftover after a wash. I can’t speak for the other functions but I often use the quick wash, delay, and normal and they are reliable.
