Pros: Looks good ...stainless steel exterior. Adjustable upper tray.

Review: My husband and I purchased our WP / DW in June, '08. It has not cleaned dishes thoroughly, glassware & silverware became stained with foggy spots. We've had no less than six service visits since installation and, after the replacement of a rinse...
