Review of InterDesign 255 00 Clean & Dirty Dishwasher Indicator

We have had one of these for at least 4 years. It has worked great for us.And the price was reasonable.

In the past, we had a magnetic one. After moving to a different house, we discovered that the magnetic one would not work on the dishwasher in this house, because the door and the rest of the dishwasher front has very little steel or other metal, to which a magnet could cling. Some kind of plastic laminate I guess. Our old magnetic sign-flag-indicator thing-ee just fell on the floor.

So we bought this one, because it does not depend on a magnet. I was leery at first, worrying that the suction cup would fail quickly. The suction cup on this product has clung to the dishwasher door for 4 years. The door is opened and closed daily, yet it has never fallen off.

However, this may not be a good choice for some dishwashers:

(1) if the dishwasher door does not have a smooth surface -- some type of textured or bumpy surface -- the suction cup may not cling properly.

(2) if the dishwasher door is BLACK, this item will be very hard to see. The colors of this item are NOT the black and white, which you might guess from the photo.There is no white area on this; the actual colors are black and CLEAR plastic.The word "DIRTY" is in clear plastic surrounded by black; and the word "CLEAN" is black surrounded by clear plastic.When placed against a BLACK dishwasher door, the clear plastic areas will just look black, such that the entire thing will look like a round black button.

For our dishwasher, it has been fine.The wheel does not seem to spin around when the door is opened or closed on ours, but if it did it would be no problem to reset it.
