This is so quiet I don't even know it's on! It cleans like a dream, I've been testing it by tossing in the dirtiest dishes I have to see how well it can actually clean, it did almost everything except a really nasty burnt on cheesy casserole dish on the edges. That was really pushing it! I couldn't see how it was going to do that unless hands come with the thing. I'm learning how to fit stuff in the bottom rack it could use another tine across the bottom to hold some of my stuff I cram in. I consider myself a professional loader. I'm in love with, sorry I waited so long to get!
