The dishwasher has a compact design aesthetic that features a stainless steel interior along with a modern finish on the exterior complete with a raindrop-inspired pattern on the frosted front glass. The unit will clean in a gentle manner much like how rain will work to naturally cleanse outdoor spaces and highlight a certain level of freshness.
