This dishwasher is nice. I like the different color options, the black option goes with my other decor in my home. It is easy to clean the filter and simple enough to use. I have never used a dishwasher before,but the kenmore UltraWash is great for a first time user. The fact that the product is an energy star rated appliance is very attractive. My one complaint is the soap holder seems to be very flimsy. In a super wash, I'm unsure how well it'll hold the soap.
