I am absolutely in love with this dishwasher. I never previously had one so I can't speak based on experience of a old one vs a new one but I can absolutely say this has made my day to life a whole lot easier. I have a very busy hectic schedule and often would have dishes piling up on the sink, now with this lovely dishwasher that never happens I am able to put them in and comeback once it's full. Dishes come out looking brand new. Also there is little to no noise you barely can tell it's running I've actually found myself checking to make sure it was still on. I would highly recommend this dishwasher to anyone in the market for a new one.
