I received my dishwasher a few weeks ago. The buttons are on the outside instead of the top, making it very easy to lean against the dishwasher and start the unit. I find I have to put a cloth between the doors to keep it from going off. So basically, if the door is closed and you lean up against it (very easy to do since it is on the side of the kitchen counter), the unit will go on. It takes about a minute to start, and will only do so if you press the START button, but it still waits for you to start the button. If you do not press it within that time, it will stop on its own, so it never actually goes on unless you press the second button, but still annoying to have to press the stop button or wait for it to stop on its own.
