The unit gets dishes clean and runs quietly, and I think the stainless steel interior will prevent the odor buildup that can sometimes be a problem with plastic interiors.  However, there are special features that I find myself not using because they add so much time to a cycle (steam settings, bottle washers).  Also, the spikes that prop up dishes are okay for use with plates, but they don't work well for small bowls and saucers.  And the plastic covers on the silverware basket and cup/glass sections are so annoying that I've removed them altogether.  On the whole I'm happy with the dishwasher, but I suspect I could have been content with a less pricy model.
