This is a major upgrade from our last dishwasher.  It is beautiful from the outside.  A beautiful and clean front with no handle or buttons protruding.  The buttons on the top panel are simple and easy to read as is the timer for counting down the cycle.  It is very quiet and powerful on pots and pans.  I also really enjoy the removable and protected silverware holders.  The top panel is great for spatulas and other cooking utensils or extra silverware.  Although you won't need it for silverware as the main holders have four large chambers.  My favorite part is how the dishwasher lets you know it has completed the cycle.  It sings a little song and partially opens!  Lastly, I really like how easy it is to keep the dishwasher looking so perfect with the stainless steel fingerprint protection.
