The older version of this dishwasher obviously doesn't compare to the new one I just got. The door is lighter and doesn'tmake a squeeky noise, the inside racks dont rust and there's an extra rack for Silverware.  The controls are similar as in how you start it but it also has extra features like drying them so there isn't water spots. The price was also comparable even though my old one was purchased roughly 10 years ago!  Overall I'm glad my old dishwasher broke because I'm in love with this one!
