with limited options as far as color (didn't want stainless or black) we were happy to find this tuscan model with such a robust feature set.  the dishwasher is super quiet and the wash performance is quite good with a full complement of extras..   

the drying performance doesn't match the wash though.   i always have to wipe down the top of my mugs before i can put the dishes away.   it's been years (two dishwashers back) since i had this problem and i thought maybe it needed an adjustment or something.   nope, the rep says that's they way things are.  someone mentioned that the absence of a heated dry option may be the reason the mug tops don't dry.  whatever the reason, i don't like it.  right now, i'm trying to decide whether it's worth the hassle to return this and resume my search.
