Very quiet, and the crystal dry cycle is a welcome addition, as it dries even plastic containers. Also, the light indicates when the dishwasher is operating, which is helpful. However an additional stemware holder accessory would be welcome as well (why is there only a stemware holder accessory on one side of the middle shelf?), and the plastic holders, etc. seem thinner than they should be. We have had our dishwasher for less than a month and so far, no problems.
