iDesign 25500 Clean & Dirty Suction Dishwasher Indicator Sign - Black/Clear

I bought this because of the clean, simple, design. It looks really nice in our kitchen, doesn't stand out too much but is easy to read. Around the size of a coaster.I thought it was going to be a magnet but it's not, it's a suction cup. That turned out to be fine, it's never come loose.It's not black and white, it's black and clear. It helps me keep track of what's in the dishwasher.The disc can rotate a little on its own with gravity so sometimes the line in the middle is not perfectly horizontal, but it's not that loose, it would never accidentally rotate all the way around and indicate the wrong thing.

Like some, I misinterpreted the color to be white and black, not CLEAR and black as is actually the case. However, there are over 100 reviews that would've told me this had I taken the time to read them. If clear is a problem for you, I recommend not purchasing this particular item. I took a piece of sticky paper and adhered it to the back, now I can read perfectly over the top of my black-fronted dishwasher. As for the suction cup - It is like any other. What I like about this one is that it's big and covers a lot of surface area. However, like any suction cup, the surface it is being attached to should be non-porous and clean. Treat this like the suction cup to a no-fog mirror in your shower or a smartphone holder in your car - Moisten the back with a sponge, rub a bit of dish soap around the inside of the cup, press firmly, then walk away for a while. Even if you attach the suction to the more gristly top part of your washer (where the buttons/nob is positioned, I guarantee it will be nearly impossible to come off.Great product and a great style. If you were thinking about buying it, do it. You won't be sorry.

This design is minimal while also pleasing to the eye, I enjoy the "yin yang" styling and quick ability to rotate the wheel without removing or scraping the unit across the surface of our dishwasher.There are only two flaws I could find after about a month of use, the suction cup is strong, but the back section sticks to the wheel at times and portions of the black coloration have been retained by the suction cup surface. Once I put a very light coating of silicone sealer on this there were no problems however. Additionally, the center peg which the wheel rests on is nice and tight as you install it, but does not offer enough friction as it is being used; especially when the dishwasher door is being opened and closed often. I have found that the wheel will wander on its own, getting stuck in a halfway position or spinning around entirely which can confuse guests who want to know if they can load the dishwasher at a glance (the entire point of this product.) If you can live with the tradeoffs of an easy to switch design this is a nice piece and should serve you well. At the price, I really cannot complain.

I like this product, I bought one and a friend liked it so I gifted it to them. They are cheap enough, so I got another.Some people with or without dishwashers might think why would I need something like that for? If you don't have a non-human powered dishwasher (other than your kids), then you probably don't need one unless you are going to gift it to someone.But... for those of you who do have a dishwasher. This would be a very handy accessory for your dishwasher. Usually, before you load your dishwasher with dirty dishes, you might take the time to rinse off your dishes. And if you do them on a daily basis and they don't get disgusting and crusty with dryed on food because they have been sitting in the sink for a week, at a quick glance they may appear clean.Well, this is where this handy little gadget comes in. Whoever loads the dishwasher with dirty dishes spins the indicator so that "Dirty" is up. Or if you load the dishwasher and run it, then you can spin the indicator to read "clean". It takes the guess work out of deciding weather or not you have a dishwasher full of clean or dirty dishes.If you are like me and actually unload the dishwasher after the cleaning cycle, I usually spin it back to dirty, because as I use dishes, pots and pans, and utensils during the day, I take the time to rinse them and put them in the dishwasher as opposed to filling the sink and counter space with pots, pans and dishes.I felt like doing this little narrative as opposed to doing a one liner that simply states "Works Great".By the way the indicator sticks to the washer door via a suction cup on the back. Just a little water or spit and it sticks to the door for months. Occasionaly it falls to the floor. I just re-wet the suction cup and it sticks back on.I would recomment this product to anyone owning a dishwasher.

Don't buy this if you have little kids who will touch it or pull on it. I received this a little over a week ago, upon receiving I was pleased with the overall look and design. The suction cup is strong and stays put on my smooth stainless dishwasher. BUT, my little one has pulled it off and dropped it on the floor and it immediately chips. It's clear acrylic (almost glass like) and if it falls or gets pulled off in my case it will surely chip. I gave it 3 stars because the overall design is nice and it serves it's purpose but I'm just trying to be honest for those that have little ones that might try to pull on it. I wish it was plastic or rubber instead of acrylic.
