This machine replaces an 8 year old model whose latch mechanism failed and the part to replies not quickly available.

I'm not thrilled.  The shelves feel flimsy rather than sturdy.  They are lightweight and slam and rattle when being opened and closed.  The re-designed configuration of the shelves (wide utensil tray rather than narrow takes out usable space, the fold down dividers are awkward), makes loading the machine less efficient.
