      Q:In the installations they do not show where the rubber apron attaches, or how. Does it just lay over the toe kick attachment brackets?

        Q:Home Depot requires that I make sure I have a "dishwasher installation kit" because they will not install the new dishwasher with the existing installation kit from the existing dishwasher but they do not tell us what all makes-up that kit.

          Perfect
          I could not be happier with this purchase! We wanted a machine that dried well and this one does great at drying. It is also great at cleaning and is quiet to boot. For two people it's a perfect size. Love it!!!

                  Looks Bad
                  The front machine is 2 inches from the floor and there is on panel to cover the leveling legs. I can see the legs and the hose under the machine every time I walk into the kitchen. The older version of this model had a very nice panel across the bottom to hide the machine works.

                      This is 6 inches narrower than a standard dishwasher, but...
                      This is 6 inches narrower than a standard dishwasher, but also shorter. I had to build a platform of about 2.25 inches for it to stand on. There are some wobbly legs I could have used to raise it but they are goofy and weak and moved when you pushed the dishwasher into the cabinet opening. It is a very light machine, like a toy, and it is noisy, takes a while to wash but it does a good job of cleaning. The utensil basket is in the back of the rack, silly place, which means you have to pull out the cheaply made bottom rack, to get to it. It does look nice though and does clean well so that is a plus. It takes 2:15 minutes to do a standard wash cycle. I should have looked at one before purchasing. We just didn't have the room for a larger one. I feel I paid too much for what I received. Wish I would have had more options.
