Quiet but awkward

I've had one of these dishwashers for 6 months now. The dishes always come out clean and the unit is quiet enough to that you don't notice it in conversation. The machine has modes for light, normal and heavy cleaning. There are a couple of small things that I wish were different.

The racks are a bit awkward. Neither the upper nor lower rack have a convenient way to stack bowls. They are always nearly completely upright and prone to tipping forward. Also the lower rack doesn't slide in and out as easily as you might expect. You need to put a bit of weight on the front of the rack or the wheels tend to get stuck on the joint between the door and the interior.

One other thing I find annoying is the end of cycle signal. It sounds too frequently for my liking. I've never timed it, but it seems like long after it has completed, it's still determined to let you know. Perhaps there's a way to turn the signal off.

For the money, this seems like a very good dishwasher.
