So far so good

clear No, I would not recommend this to a friend
This replaces a Frigidaire that kept leaking from front. It is much quieter than old one. Have no idea about things not drying. Most of the time, I just open the door a bit and let things air dry. I love the filter aspect. My dishes are sparkling. Did not want one with too many cycles. Great deal for the money. Will see if any issues arise later on.

Doesn't dry at all

I've had this for about a week, replacing a GE that I had had for 14 years. The GE was a work horse compared to this dishwasher. The only reason I replaced it was because the racks were rusting. I wish I had just replaced the racks, now. This dishwasher cleans just ok. I still have food residue on multiple items. But the biggest issue I have is that it doesn't dry AT ALL. I use the heated dry cycle, of course, but it makes no difference. I expect a little water left on plastic, but everything is dripping wet when it is finished. It's very tedious to have to hand dry each piece of flatware. The only good thing I can say about this product is that it is quiet.

Only thing bad with the 1 hour wash is, things don't dry because the heat cycles won't work on that cycle

We have used this new dishwasher for about 1 month and seems to be cleaning fine. My wife was a little unsure about how well the heated dry is working for her but have not tested enough to know. Latch mechanism of door is a little stiff and I worry that after a while pulling on the door might cause the front panel to loosen. The handle is just a depression in the door. No problems with that yet though. Had to buy a new dishwasher after 3 years or another brand that had poor bubble buttons that worked poorly and then eventually totally stopped working and they wanted 1/3rd of the price of a new washer just for me to replace the bubble button strip myself. The buttons on this Whirlpool brand look much better and less likely for that to happen.
