My existing unit went south, so needed a replacement.  Also needed a black dishwasher to match the kitchen decor. Because of the China virus, the wait time was two months plus at the Big Box stores. This was the only black unit available within a reasonable time at a local appliance dealer.
Again...so far I am pleased with this dishwasher. It's very quiet and does the job. So, the point is, there was no "shop and compare" this time.
