I was looking for a really quiet dishwasher because my living and kitchen area is one big open room. The first couple of times I ran the dishwasher I got up to look at it to make sure it was still running- it was that quiet. While the low decibel rating was the primary driving factor for purchasing this particular washer, I like that it has a LED display on the front of the washer that shows how much time before the dishes are done. I also like the rack at the top for spatulas and other large, flat cooking utensils. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
