Doesn't live up to expectations


We were advised this was a highly rated machine but in our experience it doesn't clean nearly as well as the 10+ year-old machine that it replaced. With our old dishwasher we never pre-rinsed the dishes and they always came out clean, but with this new one we have to rinse EVERYTHING and even then things don't always come out clean. The only good thing I'll say about it is that it is quiet, but then again since it isn't doing much of a job I guess it should be!
