wish I had thought through how I would use this before I bought it. ex: to load silverware you have to open the door all the way and pull out the bottom drawer. our old dishwasher had silverware in the door so you only opened slightly. the bottom rack distance is really impractical and the top middle rack normally for bowls doesn't hold anything in place. Overall it holds fewer dishes in less space efficient ways and is annoying to load. That said, it is very quiet.
