Does it fit a standard 24-inch opening?

Yes. It is 24 inches wide, 24 inches deep and 33 inches tall, which matches most standard under-counter cutouts. Check your opening height, since some floors and counters leave less than 33 inches.

Is the tub really stainless steel?

Yes, the interior is stainless steel rather than plastic. That helps with heat retention during drying and resists staining and lingering odors.

Does it have a third rack?

No. It uses a standard two-rack layout, so bulky utensils and long items go in the main baskets. Rivals with a third rack offer more flexibility for silverware and spatulas.

Will it dry plastic items well?

Plastic dries less completely than glass and ceramic because it holds less heat. A rinse aid and leaving the door cracked after the cycle helps.

Is it quiet enough for an open kitchen?

Owners generally find it quiet in normal use, though it is not a dedicated quiet model. It is fine for most open-plan homes.

What do I need to install it?

A standard 24-inch opening, a hot water supply, a drain connection and a grounded outlet. A power cord and water line may need to be purchased separately depending on your setup.
