The only good home that I could imagine for this DW is a museum where engineers could go and study it to learn how not to build DWs.   LOL. I would only think of installing one of these in my home if it was the last DW on the planet, as at least I have the ability to repair it again and again and again and again and again, WOW I got it to last for 5 years.

Oh be nice, John - it's cute and looks like new.  The panel design is sleek and stylin' (I'll bet especially so on the olivetone color!)   You just know it sounds really cool when it's running, the huge amount of water it swings around the tank.    Tink.  Tink.  Tink.  The top "swing-arm" tapping a cookie sheet :-)

...but his has a few more buttons and I think they are round.  His maybe a little older.  He doesn't use it either.  He said it's noisy and his wife doesn't care much for dishwashers.  Not sure why.  His is coppertone and has been in his house for just about as long as I can remember.

Those are actually good dishwashers performance-wise, although Greg and I have yet to take each other up on the infamous "let's put in a whole bowl of rice" or "no pre-rinse casserole of potatoes au gratin plus heated dry" test.  ;-)

I love the "thou shalt not load crap here" guard for the upper rack.  If more machines had those, I'd have had less explaining to do to partners who scratched their heads at how the bottom rack contents were spotless, and all the tumblers in the top rack were full of food.

Like WCI machines, sometimes you get one that inexplicably lasts forever, sometimes you don't.  That's a pretty, machine, though.  I'll send happy thoughts that the detergent dispenser swing-cup doesn't break.

My other initial thought was, "Look, a D&M with dust kitties on the inside!  Tee-hee!"  :-)
