first thing it the sleek and elegant look i love that the buttons are hidden on the top, so you don’t have to see them until you need them. our old dishwasher always let you know it was running so it was never used if we were using the living room since we could hear it while watching tv. the 3rd rack is an awesome bonus feature. it makes it so easy to load small items and utensils. my pet peeve from the old washer was that drying was always an issue. with the auto-release function on the samsung washer my dishes are always perfect. so yeah, i’m very satisfied with this purchase, the quality, the quietness, the design are all winners.
