Our last dishwasher had all the "bells and whistles", so we were hesitant to purchase a "basic" model, but, since it was the only one (in Black) available for immediate installation, we took a chance.  This little gem could not be better.  Our dishes fit in much better than in the previous dishwasher; it is easy to operate; it cleans the dishes beautifully with a shorter cycle, by the way; it's quiet; and, last, but not least, it was much less expensive!
