Product review (5 stars): Quiet like the gentle falling of the rain
Aesthetics:
So very eye pleasing with no controls that can be bumped or but not reset by a passerby. With two curious American Bulldogs, that was a must.

The slate finish doesn't show finger prints. I LOVE my stainless steel. I don't love a stainless steel dishwasher.
I cannot tell you how many time I would open the dishwasher with wet finger or greasy fingers and bemoan that I would have to clean it YET  AGAIN. It actually was a ritual, keep as many dishes in the sink, load the dishwasher 1 time before running it, clean the dishwasher, unload it, clean it again. I could pull my hair out.
The finish has completely alleviated that frustration. No more dishes in the sink either!

Features: the top rack can actually accommodate my full size day to day dishes!! Seriously. Granted they are light weight and in some cases plastic, I can get so much in this thing, it's incredible.
The top basket easily maneuvers to either accommodate those dishes on the top or slides up to let me put in a full size cookie sheet.

I really love the sanitize feature as well.
It almost feels like appliance abuse, but if we use our dishwasher for more than dishes (make sure dishwasher or autoclave safe)
My rose pruners get sanitized in this, nail clippers, scissors, anything that touches either plant or person that can be sanitized goes in here. As a super nerdy chick, I had to see if sanitized was really sanitized. To that effect, I put my nail clippers in, and swabbed them after the cycle. The swab was swabbed into some agar and set to let grow what will be there (it's like the middle school experiment where you swabbed your school desk to see how gross it is)
Guess what. No contaminates grew after 48 or 72 hours.
That's really sanitized!!!
The wash cycle can be set to either the top or bottom only which adds convenience for those little loads.

The entire interior is stainless steel, not plastic, which means, it won't readily absorb odors. This is both good and bad.
Good: you know of your dishwasher is clean because it doesn't smell
Bad: you've never had a dirty dishwasher smell and this REEKS to high heaven and you don't know how to make it stop stinking.

Here's the solution to that "bad". In the bottom of the tub is an easy access filter that with a 1/4 turn comes out. Rinse that thing off (I do it everytime I wash) and pop it back in. Poof! Smells are gone.
It's not time consuming and I treat it like the lint filter in my dryer. It's easy when that's your mentality.

Hook up was very simple and this unit, unlike many others, comes with a new drain hose.
You WILL NEED a elbow connector that is not provided. A quick trip to lowes with the manual and they plucked one off of a nearby shelf. They are well aware of this as MANY new units need it to install.

How quiet is 48 dbs?? The manual says its like hearing the rain outside. Great because the rain is only ever one volume... It's like a gentle rain or the printer in the adjacent office working that you o lay hear if the air conditioner is off. It really is very quiet. So quiet that I actually made my husband pull it out because I heard the water dripping down the drain and thought the unit was leaking.

My favorite little part: the "all done" chime. Like a sweet little song, it chimes that it's done and the light that was once orange (depicted in my pictures) is now green.
