Although our household is only two, we wanted a small dishwasher in our new kitchen for occasional entertaining.  This dishwasher works well for that purpose and accommodated  cabinetry next to it that's more functional than a 24 inch dishwasher would have allowed.  the wash cycle is longer than our old one, but it is VERY quiet and not annoying in any way.  We are both satisfied and would recommend it to others. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
