Just purchased this to replace a 15-year old GE dishwasher.  This is a very quiet dishwasher and has a ton of feature - likely more than what we will use.  The upper tray for forks, knives, etc. is nice, but not something we use - it is a lot easier just to use the traditional location on the bottom shelf.  It also has a lot of 'smart' modes - we haven't used them all yet and in some ways, I preferred what we had before - just modes that we specifically select.  Overall though, we are happy with the design and quietness of this.  The biggest con so far is that the cycles seem to be longer in duration than what we had before (3+ hours vs. 2 hours).
