Being that the Tall model is new, you probably won't yet find many people who have one. My DD603 is 5.5 years old. I've had no trouble with it and I wouldn't have any reservations about buying another. The changes on the Tall model (adjustable shelves and rack dividers) certainly are useful features.

I started real basic and then just tried things to see if it works. I put a lot of large trays and cutting boards down the right hand side. I put a lot of small bowls on the shelves to the left. Large utensils like bbq tongs in the place they say serving dishes. I learned how to load glad bowl lids by trial and error. I will say that unlike standard dishwashers you can really pack this thing and it still gets everything spotless. The upper right front corner on top is the only spot that is a dead zone. They have diagrams. One for New Zealand has a lot of wine glasses. One for UK has a lot of tea cups and serving dishes. One for US that uses both drawers. Best part is that the captain of the dishwasher loading police, my bil, is rendered speechless since he doesn't know the right way to load it.

They'll probably still go in the same hole. Panel sizes may be different of course. I think the remote control will be good for integrated. NO controls visible, so total dishwasher concealment. My integrated one required me to pull out the secret passcode book to program some settings. A remote should allow easy function selection. I HOPE it would come with mounting screws so you could just stick it on the inside of a cabinet door (Sink tip out?). Don't think of it as something your kids will lose. Of course I don't know what it actually does. But the idea which sounds ridiculous at first makes sense if you think about it.

UPDATE After reading comments here, I thought it worth my while to read the service manual cover to cover. Enduring's suggestion to see if there was an error code displayed lead me to try reprogramming the top drawer to turn on when the drawer was opened (like the bottom drawer would do). In trying to do this, I discovered that I couldn't; I also read in the manual that there were two separate circuit panels (duh, one for each drawer). Since the top drawer wasn't responding to re-programming, I felt the circuit panel was bad. So when the F/P serviceman showed up this morning, I told him this; he also tried to program the top drawer and was unsuccessful. He ended up replacing the circuit panel in the top drawer and was able to get it to work. He stated the circuit panel was weak and that's what was causing the problem with the top drawer turning on, but not starting. He ran a rinse cycle and everything worked like it should (Houston we have lift-off!) No sooner did he leave, I ran a fast cycle and so happy with the result- sparkling, clean dishes. Thanks one and all for your support and help! PS I did buy the service contract with Sears; just for peace of mind...PQ
