Love the third upper rack, but it can limit height of items on second rack. You will have to adjust (lower) this rack if you have very tall items in it. I have a large open living area and was very concerned about the noise, but no need to, this dishwasher is extremely quite. Have to read the front displace to see if is running. I like that it lets you know what cycle is running. Overall I'm very happy with this dishwasher. It seems to be running just fine. 
the dishes appear to be so much cleaner, but mind you this unit replaced a 14 year old Kitchen Aid.
