Product review (4 stars): Mostly pleased but a few issues
UPDATE 2/2105:

Still running strong.  The only new issue is that the door is hanging low so I need to try to adjust it.  We also noticed after staying in several vacation rentals that this dishwasher takes about twice as long as other models.  But it is quieter!

UPDATE 9/2014:

The washer stopped filling with water after 17 months.  I bought a fill valve, but that wasn't it - turns out the water height float was stuck due to gunk collecting in there.  To fix, removed the filter and poured hot water over the column inside.  Problem solved.  Otherwise, still running great with 1 to 2 loads per day.

Original review:

I have the GDF520PGD0BB model which is identical to this one but in black.  We have had the dishwasher for about 4 months now and so far are mostly pleased.

We wanted a reasonably priced quiet dishwasher to replace our Kenmore Elite which was getting older and failing.  This one didn't have all the features but had high ratings online for its low noise level and effective cleaning.

When I installed it I noticed there wasn't much exterior soundproofing.  Nevertheless it was quiet, but not as quiet as the Kenmore Elite.  The sound of the water splashing inside was a plastic thunk, markedly different from our old stainless steel interior.  I took the ample soundproofing wrap from the old dishwasher and added it to this one.  It fit fairly well and this dishwasher is ULTRA-quiet now.  I recommend adding extra padding around it if you want super-quiet.  Standing right in front of it now I can barely hear anything at all.

The dishwasher seems well made except that one leg was screwed in wrong on the bottom at an angle.  It looked cross-threaded but I couldn't get it to go in right; I ended up having to bend it to make it straight.

It isn't very deep.  So it easily fit the dishwasher spot with plenty of room to spare, but inside it isn't quite as deep as the old one.  The interior is grey plastic, not as nice as stainless steel but better than white plastic.

The door has no release lever - it auto-latches closed and you just need to pull a little hard to release the latch and open the door.

It fits lots of plates.  They are very close together but generally come out clean.  The top rack has no height adjustment and the shape is irregular so I have some trouble fitting things in the top rack.

The silverware basket is a pain.  It can mount on front of the bottom rack or on the door.  Either way, it ends up in the same spot and the silverware doesn't always come out clean.  If I use a cheap detergent it doesn't always finish dissolving because the silverware blocks the water.  Cascade doesn't have this problem for us though.  I found that I could put the silverware basket on the right side of the bottom rack instead; we lose a little space but the silverware is cleaner and the detergent dissolves.

Still, loading the silverware is awkward.  You can put each individual utensil in a slot, but this takes time and not everything fits into the slots very well.  Plus if you put soup spoons in adjacent slots they don't come out clean.  Alternately, you can fold up the basket covers and just shove everything in together.  But this doesn't work well either because the dividers are far apart and the basket is short so they fall over.

When running there is no indication of where it is in the cycle and no time remaining display.  It does quietly beep when it's done though.

If you interrupt the cycle by opening the dishwasher it doesn't automatically restart when you close it, but beeps until you press the button to continue.  I like the auto-sense to determine wash time, but you can also choose light, medium, or heavy wash.

The dishes usually come out very clean.  I sometimes add a little TSP to boost the detergent now that detergents are low phosphate.  We are on a septic so there's no danger of polluting waterways - it just fertilizes the soil.  There's no sani-rinse but there are 2 levels of extra heated wash you can select.

However, even in our dry climate the dishes always finish very wet unless we use heated dry.  On our old dishwasher only the plastic items would be wet - perhaps this is because of the plastic dishwasher interior but I'm not sure.  We just leave it open for a few minutes to let the water evaporate so we don't waste energy on drying.

There is an easy to remove and clean filter at the bottom which only needs to be checked occasionally.

All in all, a fine inexpensive, effective, and very quiet dishwasher.

Pros:

Quiet
Cleans effectively if you move the silverware rack to the side
Fits many plates
Heated wash cycles
Easy to clean filter
Autosense cycle

Cons:

Takes about twice as long as most dishwashers
No time display showing remaining minutes or even which cycle it is in
Not as deep as I'd like
Silverware is hard to load and doesn't always come clean when basket is in front
Dishes finish very wet unless heated dry is used
No Sani-rinse
No drain cycle but you can start a cycle and then cancel to drain
