In redesigning our small apartment kitchen, we had to make decisions on the size of the dishwasher - and our conclusion was that a narrower dishwasher would give me a slightly wider sink. Haier was one of the few brands that carried a well made 18" dishwasher that could work well, complement the aesthetic of the upgraded kitchen and deliver a good clean. The inside is a beautiful stainless steel/chrome look and because the stacking trays are removable, it makes it easy to load larger or small items. The dishwasher is also practically silent, so even when it is running, the gentle hum does not interfere with the sound of the TV:)
