deehubby's Full Review: Amana ADB1500AW 24 in. Built-in Dishwasher
To start with something positive, this dishwasher does do a good job of getting the dishes clean. What I do not like about it is the design and depth of the racks. I cannot put two rows of dinner plates side by side (from front to back). It will fit a row of salad plates alongside a row of dinner plates. Our family of six uses more of the larger plates so we dirty more plates in a day than this dishwasher can hold in one load. If I have more than just plates to wash, once again, the depth very much limits what will fit. The top rack also accommodates fewer dishes than the dishwasher it replaced. It holds two rows of cups/glasses and a row of bowls. This depth issue means that I can fit one less cup per row. Over all, this fits seven fewer cups per load than what I had before. A lesser issue is that the tines of the rack are bent. This cradles plates and bowls nicely, but it can cause a problem when trying to load other items. My main concern when selecting this product was the quantity of dishes it would hold. The Amana website shows that it can fit 14 place settings. While I am sure this is true, be warned that unless you usually exclusively wash actual "place settings" do not be misled into thinking that this dishwasher can accommodate a lot of dishes. I have loaded many dishwashers in my life (at least 10), and I have never encountered one with such a limited actual capacity. For the price, this would be a good choice for a smaller family.
