The delay features is our favorite! It runs pretty silent, and getting to select when it comes on in advance is really nice so we don't forget to run it (but it also doesn't run during your late night movies/etc). We like that the buttons are tucked away from little hands, and you do sometimes bump them when opening or closing the door, but no worries it won't make your dishwasher run (you have to select start so we've not accidentally run anything by accidentally bumping buttons). All in all, we love it and are a lot more satisfied with this washer than our last!
