So far, we have been really satisfied with our new dishwasher.  It is very quiet-can hardly hear it running.  Takes about 21/2 -3 hours for a cycle, but the dishes come out very clean and spot free.  My last dishwasher had the silverware basket in the door, and this is inside, so it takes up space that could be used for more dishes.  The dividing spikes for placing the dishes seem a bit strange to me, even after I looked at the manual online, but I am figuring out placement.  This machine is not as heavy as the last one, so it will probably not last as long.  However, it seems to clean well, there is a sanitize feature, which I use, so I know they are clean.  If we had it to do over, we probably would have gotten a more expensive, heavier model, but it's just the two of us, so we have no need to run it more than two or three times a week.
