Hotpoint HDA1100NWH 1100 24" White Full Console Dishwasher

The worst dishwasher we've ever had by far.
We are renting a house, and our old dishwasher, an Amana from the 1980s, bit the dust. It was a wonderful dishwasher-- it got everything clean and was reasonably well designed. We were hoping the property manager would be willing to invest in a good dishwasher, but unfortunately he decided to buy the very cheapest thing he could find. We might as well not even have a dishwasher-- we basically have to hand wash everything completely in hot, soapy water before we load it. The main problem is that the water only sprays up to the top rack from the bottom of the dishwasher-- there isn't a separate sprayer underneath the top shelf.

We had a Kenmore Elite that was only five years old and that had been operated every other day - at most. Our plans were to replace this unit when we remodeled our kitchen in two years. Well, needless to say the Kenmore died and repairs were going to be at least $200 for parts - with no guarantee that the problem would actually be solved or the dishwasher resurrected. Rather than waste money on a repair that might not work for two years, I decided to purchase this as a stopgap measure.

It is a basic dishwasher - in other words, you can turn it off and on, as well as choosing to turn the heated dry to "off." The dishes still get dry from the residual heat; you may have to air dry the plastics, but that...
