I find this dishwasher easy to operate.  The panel and instructions are pretty clear.  I do not like the silverware basket and I wish I had checked on it first.  My neighbor has this model but a different basket so I expected the same. It doesnt have much capacity.  The third, top, drawer/rack is too close to the ceiling so it doesn't even accommodate a ladle and it isnt adjustable.  I was hoping for more use of it, but maybe in time I will adjust.  But, wow, does it clean.  It is night and day compared to my 10 year old washer.
