This dishwasher has the right spacing for dishes and is very quiet for all the power that it packs. The one problem I have is it doesnt do a very good job of drying the dishes. It's extremely rare for us to have any dishes that are perfectly clean which is not the norm compared to our other dishwashers. The directions are a little intimidating at first but it's very easy to get it up and running quickly. I would highly recommend this unit.
