This dishwasher is very quiet! My family will not notice it is on, but there is a time countdown display, so you can see it's running.   There are many menu options. The regular cycles are long (2 hours), but there is a 1 hour quick cycle, cleans very well, but doesn't dry everything (like the tupperware lids) using the quick cycle. With the regular cycles everything dries, which is amazing.  It is very sleek and modern.  The inside has options to fold down prongs and a high upper third  roll out for spatchulas. I can aslo place stem wine glasses and large water bottles on top rack.  Overall, it is the best dishwasher I've owned and I'm very happy with it.
