i am very pleased with my new dishwasher. the fact that it dries virtually everything is a big plus. i am still learning how to load it. I still have not figured out how to get my tea pot in it and keep it dry on the bottom and draining from the spout.  the top shelf is great for a lot of little things in addition to silverware. i like it so much i have started running it three times a day. I used to only run my dishwasher most days twice a day. i also like the fact that the silverware basket is easily taken out where i can unload it next to the silverware drawer.
