So quiet it was worth the wait! It took over a month to come in and doesn't fit my full-size square plates but I am not complaining. The racks are removable for more room but I haven't done this yet. Love the top rack for all those long spoons. It is making me a better housekeeper by opening at the end. It reminds me to unload the dishes. Below is a picture of how wide it opens at the end plus the non-finger proof control panel.
