Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Only one whitelisted tester (Reviewed/USA Today) hands-on tested this exact model. Reviewed calls it one of the best dishwashers it has tested, praising near-perfect stain removal, quiet 44 dBA operation, and a flexible FreeFlex third rack, but flags slow cycles and a weak Express Wash. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Near-perfect stain removal on Normal (99.9%) and Tough (99.7%) cycles; Runs very quiet (rated 44 dBA); Flexible FreeFlex third rack with dedicated rotating spray jets; fits 16 place settings.
Flagged: Slow cycles — Normal 2h40m, Tough 3h; Express Wash is slow (74 min) and cleans below average.
