the first one leaked but they replaced it immediately and i'm very happy with this and glad i got it...much better than my old one and wish i'd upgraded years ago...i particuarly like the basket design as you can move it around to fit and the dishes come out clean most of the time unless its particuarly dirty...i am using this far more than i did my other one simply because it does a much better job and having a start delay setting is helpful too if you are on certain electricity tarriffs. I can fit my large instant pot in here too no problem and my blender jug...it seems very spacious even though it's the same size as my old one seems bigger and i think that is due to the better design and flexibility with where to put the cutlery basket....the mini shelfs in the top basket are handy too make life much easier and honestly has transformed my life in terms of being able to keep on top of all my dishes when i am unwell and it being almost a pleasure to do rather than the frustrating and dissapointing experience i had with the old machine that often caused me more work than it did help as i often had to handwash things after...anyone thinking of getting this i would say don't hesitate i've had it a couple of months now and so far so good.
