My previous dishwasher was quiet, but this one is silent. The cool light display on the floor is the only way to tell it's running. And the dishes are all coming out very clean. However, there is no indication that the cycle has completed when opening the door. Other dishwashers I've had have a click or something. Also, the slope (or lack thereof) of the of the tines that hold dishes in place are not bowl friendly. Either bowls knock against each other or they are just flat. Not effient use of space, condusive to chips, but good for cleanng. Also, I cannot get it to connect on WiFi even though my other devices connect just fine in the same location, but the whole WiFi thing seems like overkill anyway.
