I did much research before placing my order. I needed a shorter than standard to fit under my countertop since installing a tile floor. I also wanted QUIET. This unit is beautifully quiet, I can run it while we go to bed. My only complaint is the digital keypad is hard to read until you hit the power button. I need a flashlight to see what I'm doing to get started. I wish there was a way to turn on the digital lights with a switch. Otherwise, it's been GREAT and the sleek design is attractive.
