Looking to replace our old noisy dishwasher and this model has master the job.  I can't hear it running, and only see the red light shiny on the floor to see if the cycle has been completed.  Love the added third top slide shelf for all the odd items that don't fit in the silverware basket.  So far everything is coming out clean and dried.  I recommand you wait for the cycle to be totally completed before you empty the dishes.  Really can't believe that I totally love this dishwasher and it is worth the extra money.
