Awful rack design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this dishwasher for about three weeks so far and I am very disappointed in the arrangement of the racks. The tines are so short that they do not hold the dishes properly. The silverware rack only fits in the middle of the lower rack, which eliminates significant space for dinner places. The upper rack tines are so small that cups and other dishes fall over and move around, or other dishes and bowls have to be completely flat. So I can only fit a few small dishes in each load on the top rack since they are laying flat and not up/tilted at all. Especially considering the cost of this dishwasher I am extremely frustrated. It is fairly quiet and the cycles and buttons work well, but the design of the racks is absurd.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I hate this dishwasher! The bottom rack does not stay on the track. Prongs to hold dishes are too close together. Perhaps my grandmother's fine china would fit, but not my pottery. I regret the day I made this purchase. Also, it was very difficult to install.

PROS: Does it's job. Controls are easy to use and pretty self-explanatory. The stainless steel tub is a definite upgrade from the plastic tub on my last dishwasher.
Wouldn't buy it again though. If I could have a do-over I would get something else in a heartbeat.
CONS: It is deceptively small for a 2 rack dishwasher. Forget using the adjustable rack if you use normal dishes. If you lower the top rack, you won't fit in your plates. The tines on both racks are very short. Stuff tries to move constantly. I don't know about anyone else's, but mine goes to completed too early. It's not finished draining when the machine thinks it's done with the dishes. This led to an unnecessary service call.
You need to leave it sit up to an extra 20 minutes AFTER it indicates completed to assure it is drained. I've not noticed it having any indicator that it's completed other than the light. A chime would have been nice. I don't hang out in my kitchen watching it.
It is not very quiet AT ALL. It's pretty loud actually. I don't know if that's caused by it not having enough insulation or because everything inside moves around while it runs.
GET THE INSURANCE ON IT FROM SOMEWHERE. These things break sooner than you would expect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dishwasher does not have adequate space for dishes with the silverware basket. Wish I replaced the racks on my dishwasher it had the silverware in the door and allowed for more plates and pans.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My last dishwasher had a small tray at the top, which I found useful of course this unit does not have that. Drying the dishes after washing does not work as I had hoped. The wash cycle is strong enough and works fine. The silverware tray is great, and easy to fill and empty. The door seems to be fingerprint resident. Easy to read and understand control panel. I am happy so far, lets see next year.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] just moved in to a NEW HOUSE. Nothing but problems with this dw. already had service come out. they said NOTHING WRONG. just loaded and pushed start. EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. Now I look forward to spending another day to schedule and wait for service. STAY AWAY FROM THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so pleased with this purchase. My dishes come out spotless and it’s very quiet. I do not, however, like the silverware rack. It has to sit in the middle of the bottom rack, which doesn’t allow for bigger items like plates and plans. It’s in a very awkward place.
