We looked at a few machines (in person and online) before deciding on this unit.  We love the third shelf.  It offers plenty of room for silverware, lids, and utelsils and frees up considerable space on the main level.  We used to run our unit almost twice a day and now only once.  It seems to be have a high quality as it was described in the stores.  We really only use the main "Auto" wash cycle but it's nice to have options, I guess.  The only other thing to mention is that the finish may be listed as fingerprint resistant, but it's no different than ordinary stainless steel.  I smudges and streaks pretty easily.
