KitchenAid KUDS40FVPA 24in Dishwasher - Panel Ready Review

KitchenAid KUDS40FVPA 24in Dishwasher - Panel Ready
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We had a "builders model" dishwasher in our house for 10+ years. Worked fine, but was beginning to leave food on dishes and was pretty loud. After a couple of weeks of research we decided on the Architect II. There seems to be some give and take with any dishwasher, and we wanted the price to be around $1,000.00.
The Architect II series has been voted best dishwasher by a very respected consumer reporting agency, and has more good reviews than bad ones on various sites, so we decided to bite the bullet.
We live in Washington State, and knowing the dishwasher was coming from NYC I was a bit worried about damage in route. I told the delivery guy I was going to need to inspect the unit before he brought it inside, and he was really nice about it. He cut open the box, got the unit off it's pallet and walked away to let me inspect...flawless delivery.
The unit is all stainless inside and out, with the exception of the door exterior (which requires panel installation). I'm waiting on a cabinet guy to bring the panel...we have pretty unique cabinets so he had to order from a Canadian company after searching for a while (something for you to consider before buying).
I installed the unit in about an hour, but if you're not that handy I would recommend professional installation. The unit required hard-wire installation, which may be standard for dishwashers...I'm not sure, so you might be running to the hardware store.
I put a few pre-rinsed dirty dishes in it to begin, maybe a 1/4 load. The first wash is used to calibrate the internal food sensors, so it takes longer than your average load. Dishes looked good, dry, so I filled it up and now use it once a day at least (we're a family of 4).
This is by far the best dishwasher I've owned. I no longer rinse, in fact, I'm trying to challenge this thing...I can put the cooked-on grime from a slow-cooker on the top rack and it doesn't matter...they come out clean.
My wife laughs at me because I'm excited about washing dishes. It's kinda like my new toy. It's a power-tool I get to use everyday.
I would highly recommend this dishwasher to anyone shopping around. I can't wait for my panels get here and the dishwasher is camouflaged into the cabinetry.

Carnation Home Fashions Clear Acrylic Review

Where to start? First, the lotion pump. The thing leaks. Like crazy. Every time you press the pump down, you'll get more soap/lotion/whateveryouhaveinthere on the neck of the pump. Second, the pump is a bit on the powerful side. I use it for my homemade hand soap, and if you're not careful to avoid pressing down too hard, it will blast soap four or five feet across the bathroom.
Then, the trash can. How, you ask, could they screw this one up? Simple: cheap manufacturing. That silver ring around the top is held on with what appears to be a couple dabs of hot glue. That's it. As a result, just picking the trashcan up and setting it back down can cause the silver ring to drop to the floor. A minor annoyance, but one which could (and should) be fixed with just simple improvements to the manufacturing process (like, for example, using more than two spots of glue to hold it together).
The tumbler is, well, a tumbler. You really can't go wrong. Same with the toothbrush holder.
Looks nice, but that's were it ends. Cheaply made junk, not worth the price.

Two-Tone Harmony Stainless Steel Waste Basket - Quality StainlessLUX Houseware for Bath, Home & Office Review

I was looking for a compact size waste basket for my small office. Found this from the StainlessLux website. I noted the dimensions under their product description, which fit my need just fine. The basket has a "heavy" feel to it, not so easily topple over. The wall is also quite thick that it won't get dented easily. The taper shape makes emptying it a piece of cake. No chance of any "hanging trash" getting stuck inside when I turn it upside down. It looks very elegant, with a mirror like finish near the rim. Almost too pretty to be a waste basket. Occasionally when I have visitors, I have to convince them that it is Ok to put trash in it. I am considering getting another one for my small bathroom. I figure it will work great since it is stainless steel, so no worry about rusting from the moisture. The previous review is correct that it is of smallish size, which I think is an advantage when I need to fit it in tight compact spaces. If I want a big trash can I would look for something else.
