We've only had our dishwasher for about a month, but have noticed how much quieter it is from our last one, which was 28-yrs old! I like the 3 shelves to place dishes & silverware on. Still getting used to on how the dishes should be properly placed, but have been pleased with how the dishes look when the cycle is completed. I also like the different options to pick from depending on what has been loaded into the machine. I would recommend this dishwasher to a friend.
