I already had an 18" dishwasher (that went bad) plugged into my garbage disposal. So, I figured this wouldn't be the most difficult job to swap in the Danby, and it took 4-6 hours (lunch, & some 12oz curls maybe slowed me down here & there)I'm a casual DIY'er, so this may be too basic for most, but for other's some (hopefully helpful) install feedback.I also uploaded a few pics to show some details if that helps.When buying this, just buy one of these "kits" that includes a new water input line (if you don't already have one like this, my current setup had copper pipes), and that also includes the copper 3/4" MIP elbow that you'll need (no, the dishwasher doesn't come with the elbow, you need to buy one) (or just get the elbow if you've already got a braided line): Watts D60U Universal Dishwasher Kit with 3/4-Inch FGH EL, Stainless Steel, 60-Inch. Besides that, you'll also need plumbers tape, some tools, & your beverage of choice. Oh, if you want, on Youtube there are videos of how to install a dishwasher that'll walk you through it as well. I'd say if you've already got one there that you are replacing, and you have some DIY know-how you should be able to do this pretty easy (I called and got 2 quotes, from $100-200 for the install), but got bored & figured I'd give it a try.--Yes, the instructions for the electrical hookup on page 2 of the manual are for some other machine. On the Danby, there's a skinny green ground already under a screw, and another big green wire in the piggy tail. I just stripped another 3/8" of sheath away on the ground wire in the piggy tail, so I had plenty of exposed wire to wrap around the house's thinker gauge ground wire (spread out the thinner strands of wire when wrapping around the bigger gauge wire, so more contact points), and then used a wire cap (keep screwing the cap until it won't screw in any more). I am not an electrician, so take any advice at your own risk, but that's what my uncle (that knows his stuff) told me to do & seemed to work fine (see customer pictures)--Yes, the Danby is very short in height, pretty much had to max out the legs. HINT: Take some white-out & mark a corner on each of the feet. Screw them in all the way. Get 1 at the correct height, and "count" the rotations up to that point (each time the white-out comes around), then just rotate the other 3 legs out the same # of rotations. Should be level as is (or pretty dang close).--At first you are confused where to "route" the water hose & discharge hose, but once you raise up the legs you'll have tons of space underneath the dishwasher.--The manual is literally backwards, you should start on the last page, & work backwards. Even the "checklist" before turning it on the 1st time is on page 2 :)--The manual says to have the elbow for the water input pointing "left" but try as I might, perhaps b/c of the threading on the elbow, I couldn't get it tight (& not leaking water) in any position except pointing to the right. Oh well, the braided hose doesn't seem to have a problem with this (see the picture)--The discharge hose on the Danby is already hooked on, and has a funky curve right where it connects, so I didn't want to bother using a different discharge hose. But, the stock discharge hose wasn't long enough to reach my garbage disposal (given that you should have a point in your discharge line "higher" than the disposal, so water doesn't run back into the dishwasher). So, I just got a coupler (3/4") and hose clamped them together. The manual said you can have a total of 10' of discharge hose which is right what I was at (if you went 15' etc not sure the pump would clear the line?) Anyways, ran a few loads, everything seems to drain just fine (see pic of the coupler as well).Other random notes:-don't over-tighten the elbow, might break something.-Do NOT use your knee to back the machine into the cabinet space, the front stainless panel isn't reinforced so you could dent it. Also, don't get mad when your team loses in the playoffs and kick it.-STAINLESS STEEL CARE: if you've already got stainless appliances, you probably already have your care routine, but something a sales guy taught me once was using a "micro-fiber" towel to apply the stainless cleaner/polish. Supposedly the micro-fibers get into the fine grain of the steel and does a better job than a normal cloth getting grease off and laying a layer of wax to protect against finger prints. Not sure if this is an urban myth, but works for me. I would put a coat of stainless cleaner/polish on right away before your dog starts throwing his slobber on it.-Noise--definitely quieter than my old Frigidaire, but if it isn't quiet enough for you, then just use the delayed start timer, so just load up & have it run after the movies are over, no biggie.-If you have to stop it half-way through a cycle (& its full of water), you can't just manually toggle the control to a "drain" cycle to start over. Fix I found was to run the shortest cycle (the one on the right, Rinse? its only 8 minutes).-Be sure to show your significant other the dish loading instructions, so you don't have to fight over the best way to load it:)-Nice that it has a spray arm on the top rack, my last dishwasher didn't, should be a big improvement.-The dish racks on this Danby are the same width as my last Frigidaire, but they are indeed 2 inches shorter (front to back). So, yes, there is a small loss of space. But, I didn't feel like paying $300 more for a GE for just a few inches, especially since this Danby has got great reviews both here & on HD's site (and besides a few dud machines, most complaints are typical of "any" 18" dishwasher, so not sure what's not to like at this great price point...usually when you see something priced almost half of other machines it means its inferior, but all the reviewers have loved this Danby, and I don't have anything to complain about either after my first 2 loads)-If you are looking for the Serial # for your online warranty, its not on the tag when you open the door like normal, its listed on the "right" cross-brace when you remove the kicker panel.-The SLEEP DELAY timer is a little confusing at first, because it doesn't mark passing time by the minute, only in 30 minute decreasing intervals (so at first you'll think its not working, come back in 30 minutes, you'll see the time will have reduced by 30).-The delivery guys were right on time, really can't beat this with Prime (free) delivery for $441, $25 universal install kit, and DIY installClick "Yes" if this was helpful, "No" if not!
