We ordered this dishwasher because we had a custom wood panel that we wanted to reuse on a new dishwasher.  We previously owned a Bosch and liked the way it cleaned the dishes and was very quiet during operations.  This one is very similar to our previous dishwasher.  Quiet and efficient.  One improvement is that it turns completely off when finished not requiring a manual turnoff like the prior model.  There is a light on the bottom that reflects on the floor while the dishwasher is running.  The one complaint is that the silverware caddy is substantially smaller then the previous one, about one half.   I kept my prior caddy since I needed the extra space regularly.  It was easy to install so my husband was able to do in a short amount of time.
