I was a bit apprehensive about buying a dishwasher with the controls on the top of the door, thinking it would be hard to start the dishwasher. Not a problem. I actually am very happy with the controls on the top. Whenever I would do something on the countertop in front of my old dishwasher, I would end up bumping the controls and start up the dishwasher. It was a pain. Since I have a small family, I usually use the 1 hour setting on the dishwasher and everything comes out sparkling clean. It is so quiet that I hardly know it is running. I found the door popping open at the end of the cycle strange at first, but now it doesn't bother me. It plays a cute little jingle when the cycle is finished. The extra top tray is great for silverware and other small utensils. Overall, I give this dishwasher an A++++. I also am very found of all my Samsung products. Very pleased.
