We've had this dishwasher for about a month and are very pleased with it. It cleans dishes very well and does so quietly.
We had had a stainless steel-tub from KitchenAid for about six years that was said to be quiet but did not seem quiet to us. It was starting to have issues with leaving crud on the dishes so we started looking around for a replacement. We were concerned about the reports of the smaller size as we have three children and can have quite a few dishes. This dishwasher is smaller but once we adjusted to the different loading pattern we have been fine. We have found that loading the back of the rack first makes it easier to slide the rack in and out during the day.
Our practice is to run the dishwasher at night when we go to bed and the dishes are dry when we arrive in the morning whether we use the "sanitize" option or not. I did have to come down the first night as I couldn't hear anything and thought I had forgotten to turn it on. It was gurgling merrily along so all was right with the world.
Issues others have raised:
-The steel front does get a little streaky but so did our KitchenAid. It cleans up fine with the same cleaner we use on our stainless refrigerator.
-After a month we have not had anything piling up in the filter.
-We have had the same luck with how clean and dry the dishes get using three different detergents. We used the Finish sample that came with it, a Cascade liquid and a Cascade Pac. We are using a different brand rinse agent. They all seem to do the trick.
-The door is self-closing and that takes a bit to adjust to as it tries to close itself if you don't pull it open beyond a certain point. That was just a matter of adjusting to something different. Now I just view it as self-closing with a self-satisfying click.
-The display is made up of red lights that flash if you leave it on. However, it is very easy to just push the on/off button and they go away. When you are ready to use it, push the on button, they flash, you choose your option (it defaults to what you used last time) and then hit start and it starts. A time remaining non-flashing display shows, cleverly, how much time is left on the cycle.
-The sides and top are steel, the bottom is gray plastic. To be honest, we have not noticed this.
-I installed this and it was simple. It took me a while but that's because I have no confidence in my mechanical skills so I over-analyzed everything.

All in all we have had no shopper's remorse after buying and using this dishwasher.
What's great about it: Does what we want.
What's not so great: Doesn't put the dishes away.
I would recommend this to a friend!
