I took it back.

I will say that it was pretty quiet. Definitely quieter than the builders grade dishwasher I replaced. My only complaint about the sound was that the bottom part of the the tub that extends to the bottom part of the door (where the door hinges) is not insulated. Due to the lack of insulation in this area you can hear water dropping on the plastic. Otherwise the dishwasher is very quiet. Since the motor is suspended and completely enclosed in insulation, you can hardly hear the motor.

This dishwasher has a lot of features for the price, but for me the features didnt work that well. It does have an adjustable top rack but it doesnt move up and down very much...maybe an inch. Also the fold down tines on the top rack didnt work well for the type of bowls that I have. When I put the bowls in the tines would not stay folded down...the would rise back up. Also the extra cup shelves in the top rack didnt help me out too much. You have to have pretty short cups to fit underneath or on top of them.

My wife really wanted the hidden controls on the top and I thought that was a pretty nifty feature too, but when it came to actually using them they seemed to be hassle. It is sometimes hard to know if you have actually pressed the button because the buttons dont "click". They do have a little light above them to show if the button was pressed but the most important buttton, the start button, doesnt have that little light. The problem is that you will press the start button and close the door but it wont start...then you have to try to squeeze your finger between the bottom of the cabinet and the top of the dishwasher to turn it on.

My last gripe, although not a real big one, is that you have to pull pretty firmly to get the door to open and unless you are very careful some water would splash out. You just have to make sure you pull just enough to get the machine to turn off for a second before you open the door.

Dishes would also come out a little wet sometimes.
