Only had this for a couple of weeks, so this is very early in its life. So far it is hands down the quietest dish washer we have ever owned. Had 2 GE plastic tubs prior. The stainless steel tub is by far superior in quietness. 3 rd rack is very handy for large serving spoons, spatulas and such. Very clean look. Crossing or fingers that the quietness and it’s cleaning ability will last
