This dishwasher is very quiet, I love the top third rack on top!  I place all my cooking spatulas, spoons, etc and even my 
Large flat splatter screen on it. I use the sanitation cycle in flu and other seasons and when canning to sterilize my jars!    And it does a beautiful job of cleaning my dishes in our daily usage. Also the black/stainless front color is beautiful!  Highly recommend!
