I submitted an earlier review indicating that there was not enough head room for dinner plates -- well -- I was reading the owner's manual regarding cleaning the filter, and I noticed that the upper shelf is height adjustable! Wait -- what?  Problem solved already at the drawing board! This little DW is amazing, we can fill it with 8 dinner plates, 8 salad plates, 8 soup bowls, and much glassware. My only complaint is the silverware basket is not well thought out: the center of the basket is elevated for some reason -- makes no sense. The grid lid, is removable (thank goodness) because none of my silverware handles fit through the grid.  

It is SO quiet, and does a fantastic job compared to the GE 18" unit we replaced.

I give it 4-stars, not 5, for the silverware basket, and for Haier NOT putting a nice big tag in the upper rack bragging on their two-level adjustable upper rack design!
