i absolutely love this dishwasher i'm able to run my dishwasher when i'm at home, ready to go to bed, etc without having to worry about the sound interrupting me. secondly, i love how the top area has a special area just for silverware, which doesn't compromise the lower shelving areas. i'm able to fit in more dishes into the machine without having to worry a side caddy for silverware being in the way.  one last interesting thing is the machine will open when it's done cleaning, and has entered the drying cycle. to help prevent excess steam forming water spots on your dishes/glasses.  i did receive this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinions
