This dishwasher has a very nice asthetic to our kitchen. In addition, it cleans the dishes thoroughly without leaving any residue. Perhaps the most important thing about this dishwasher is- it's SO QUIET! I love the fact that it has a pull out compartment to put knives or other items to clean seperately. The top rack has a little pull out handle that you can place tops to coffee mugs which I absolutely love! Whats more, is that the silverware compartments have an option to close the ones that you're not using. Sounds silly, but it's actually quite functional. I really REALLY love this dishwasher and would recommend it to anyone!
