We replaced all our appliances in the kitchen after the refrigerator and oven went out. We went with the slate color. We love it. Doesn’t show fingerprints and adds so much to the kitchen. Our old dishwasher was fine and simple to use. Was a little concerned about getting a dishwasher with so many features. Now I’m having fun using them. The top rack is wonderful for lids and other items usually fall thru the sides of regular dishwasher. No more having to wash those by hand. This dishwasher is so quiet you don’t even no it’s on. So glad we made this choice.
