Whirlpool 24" Built-In Dishwasher with Adaptive Wash (DU1301XTV) —
Put it in myself as I used to install DWs for Sears when I was in college. The taller tub makes for tighter working area underneath. Had difficulty keeping copper pipe aligned right. Directions suggested taping the lines (water, electric and drain) down to the floor and that's a good idea.
The controls are good, nice having a finished indicator light. Not noisy at all. We fooled with the silverware rack for a while trying each of the three locations. We settled on the side of the bottom drawer/rack with the purple "doors" down. This lets us put the utensils in with the food end up. Allows for lots more utensils this way. Putting the rack on the door was awkward as you can't load utensils without pushing the bottom rack in.
One criticism is the stiffness of the door hinges. During installation I put the springs at the strongest setting only to find out the hinges were still stiff. So far the hinges haven't loosened up but I suspect when they do, the door will snap up on its own. Keep the springs at the factory settings. To reset the hinges requires uninstalling the whole thing.
