I have been using this washer for a month now. In the booklet that came it said this washer does not sound like most washers. It is quieter. That is a blatant LIE. This washer sounds like someone is busting down my kitchen wall trying to break into my home. I have to turn the television up when it is in use. It knocks so hard between cycles it sounds like someone dropped a weight on hard wood floor. I have a video of how loud this thing can get. I had an LG and the heating element went out so instead of replacing the element I did a stupid thing and bought this cheap low class dishwasher. I am regretting the purchase. It is laughable. It cleans the dishes, but it goes twelve rounds with Mike Tyson before it is done.
