This is the quietest dishwasher we have ever had. It is nearly unnoticeable. It also seems to do a good cleaning job. 
The design of the upper dishes rack, is the worst, we've had ever had. The angled dish holder arrangement is not only pointless, but arranges the dishes completely messy and unorganized. Yes, the picture as of how it can be filled looks great, however, life is not like that (perfect dishes fitting the rack). The lower rack is sort of ok, but seems to de-rail easily.
