It is quiet and cleans well. Compared to our 12 yr old Bosch, the racking system is very inconvenient and would not hold dishes for even a dinner for four. Adjustable portions of the upper rack are of no help, as when up the space is too narrow and when down too wide for most of our glasses and cups. The angle of placement of plates in the lower rack is awkward. Pots have to be flat which really reduces available space. We have not changed our dishes or glassware as compared to when we had the old Bosch.
