EdgeStar BIDW1802BL 18 Inch Wide 8 Place Setting Built-In Dishwasher

This was a pleasant surprise: easy to install, quiet running, thorough cleaning of dishes. All that plus the speediest delivery I have ever gotten. Highly recommend!

We purchased this size for our summer home. We did not have enough space for a regular size dishwasher and shopped everywhere for a smaller size. This was the best value and we could actually obtain it within days. The other purchase options from Lowes, Home Depot, etc. for this size were very limited, way more expensive and would have taken months to receive. It arrived in great condition, excellent packing, we installed it ourselves without any problems and it works great. We were concerned about the interior space, would the blades hit the plates, would it clean the dishes as well, what would the noise level be, would we be able to put a sufficient amount of dishes and silverware in the smaller unit, etc. It has surpassed our expectations. We recommended our friend purchase one for his cabin after using it for a month with no issues.

Life saverWe live in a tiny-home size backhouse and have been washing dishes by hand for the last 5 years.I was very reluctant to buy one of these small dishwashers because theyre so expensive.It's been running for 2 weeks now and there has not been a single issue. Albeit, it doesn't hold a lot of dishes, but that's expected. We only had about 20 inches to work with, and so this 18 inch width was perfect for us.It washes well without residue. It's very quiet.The install was a slight DIY job to hook up, But nothing out of my reach.I dinged this one star because the heat dry isn't as good as it could be. Many times after the cycle is completely done the dishes are still very wet.If I moved anywhere else and had to buy a dishwasher again, I would definitely choose this one.It seems like 5% of these units have a manufacturing flaw that causes a leak from the waste hose. We did not get one of those flawed units. Ours works 100% without issue.

We have a 1950’s 800sqft home that doesn’t have enough space for a full size dish washer. However, with two small kids, we learned we couldn’t hand wash dishes and keep up. It was overwhelming.Even though this doesn’t fit as much as a full size, it still makes a huge difference for us. I still end up hand washing larger items but that’s manageable.It’s quiet. Not super quiet, but quiet.It does take about 2 hours to run a full regular cycle which I feel is a bit longer than I remember when I’ve had dishwashers in the past.We have had it about 9 months now and have yet to have any issues with it at all. Rarely do we have to rewash anything because it didn’t come clean.Highly recommended.

The service guy had never installed one of these. He was impressed by it tho. The hookup went without a hitch.. It replaced one that was installed 25 or so years ago. So far everything about this dish washer has impressed me. It holds a lot more dishes than the kenmore it replaced. And i guess by design.. everything about it WORKS! IT gives/gave an error code tho.. but it's cus there was no spot free drying liquid in it's reservoir. It wasn't broken.. just a nag to remind you for best performance use a liquid drying aid. I like this dishwasher, half the price of a bosh.. with similar functions. and i assume performance cus it does it's job.update: keeps having e4 error.. i can use it a few days then another e4 error (overflow).. takes over 24 hours to clear an e4 error.. i have to shut off breaker in house to reset washer cus there is no breaker on washer. i don't see any suds there is no reason this error is occuring. but drying it out thoroughly (24+ hours) is the only way to get this thing working again. i warn against buying this.. it is crap. you will spend more time trying to get it working than washing dishes. when you cycle breakers the e4 light is still on.. and the washer is stuck in an almost never ending drain cycle with nothing to drain.. this dishwasher turned into a nightmare. manufacturer 1. put breaker accessible to user on front panel 2. make it less sensitive and more reliable 3. display your error codes in english not codes.

Review after one year: We had to get a tiny dishwasher because of the height of our countertops. I had low expectations, but this dishwasher is my best friend. I probably run it at least every other day if not every day. I use a natural dish dishwashing detergent and everything comes out clean. Easy to clean the filter at the bottom. I had a handyman come install it. It was super easy. Everything worked right away. Love it!

I purchased this item to replace an Edgestar dishwasher purchased in 2015. While that one still worked, I wanted a replacement to a newer model. This one is relatively quiet, and seems to clean the dishes much better, without leaning residue, and the controls/display is nicer, and now includes a countdown timer to show how much longer is left in the cycle.It appears there’s no way to turn off the led display. At the end of the cycle, it displays “End”, and after being opened, it displays “-:- -“.

5 year review. Purchased 2020. Still going strong! Used almost daily or at least every other day. Only issue is there is one small rust spot forming at the bottom of the door, on the inside. This is an easy repair but I feel like in a few more years the rust will increase. Overall, I would absolutely purchase this unit again. Used in small condo with a family of 4.
