The unit is quiet, cleans well - especially utensils, thanks to the dedicated jets.  So far, plenty of room in each shelf.  The wider spacing of the posts is to allow better cleaning that the models of old, so get used to running it more often.  This unit allows a 12 foot drain hose - make sure to order it before your unit arrives as the installers won't have it on the truck if you need it.  This fits under somewhat shorter counters, so adding tile under the space didn't cause interference problems. Indicator light is a great way to know it is on - it is that quiet!
