I love the stainless sleek look. Incredibly quiet operation. So quiet I have to place my hand on it to feel the slight vibration or get very close to hear it start up. It cleans dishes incredibly well. The top rack is designed for silverware but it requires each piece to be individually carefully placed on edge in slots spaced a few slots away from last placed fork, spoon or knife. The more common basket for silverware is easier to load. Unloading bonus is all spoons can be together as can forks and knives making unloading super easy and fast. I cook for seven adults every day so two loads almost every day!
