Westinghouse WSF6602XA Freestanding Dishwasher

Single dad here, and this is my experience. It cleans my dishes well. I have a toddler, I don't do any pre rinsing and I use the cheapest tablets I can find, with a rinse aid, and it's cleaned everything everytime. The passive drying hasn't been great, but as soon as I notice it's done I open it and that helps until I get the chance to put things away. It's quiet enough to put on at anytime. Very happy overall with my purchase.

I get this this model is towards the basic end of the Westinghouse range, but I still expected better performance from this dishwasher. Despite pre rinsing dirty plates and pans prior to putting them into the washer for cleaning, I still need to manually scrub at least 1 pot or pan after the wash to properly clean. I'm using the "Heavy" wash cycle on nearly every wash to get most of the saucepans and pots cleaned. Any other cycle won't clean as well. I only had to scrub pots after a machine wash infrequently when using our previous Omega brand dishwasher. I've also found this dishwasher does not rinse properly, despite using the same rinse aid as our previous Omega dishwasher. I've tried various rinse aid settings, which was not easy to program on this machine. ... MoreI get this this model is towards the basic end of the Westinghouse range, but I still expected better performance from this dishwasher.

I've also found this dishwasher does not rinse properly, despite using the same rinse aid as our previous Omega dishwasher. I've tried various rinse aid settings, which was not easy to program on this machine. However, I still find suds left behind on plates, etc, after every wash cycle. So I have to manually rinse everything under running tap water after this dishwasher's finished because this machine does not have a 'rinse only' cycle. Other models do, which I found to be a very handy feature. Finally, I've found the upper spray arm caught on the upper tray a couple of times mid wash. The spray arms should not be hitting the upper tray. That's poor build quality. One good point though, I found the machine not overly noisy.

I have a family of 7, so this beauty is running a fair bit. I was wanting one with the knob as the last 3 had real issues blinking, not being able to press anything, this westinghouse has none of those issues. the racks are nicely spaced and the knife and fork rack is rather large (which is awsome). This does pots really well, everything so far has came out sparkling. We are on river water here so that is amazing. Seems to tolerate the harsh water well. recommended. especially for a big family.
