Product review (5 stars): super-quiet, very unobtrusive
we've had this dishwasher now for over a year.  very, very quiet when running. you have also a nice reminder beep to nag you when it's done.
while it is a bit smaller in size internally, makes up for in efficiency. the utensil holders are smaller too, but its much better trouble-free, than the last kitchen aid we had. has so many more sensible features that come on it.
buy another one in a heart beat.
