I chose this dishwasher because it was one of the less expensive ones but still beeped when a cycle finished and the house levels were on par with some of the more expensive ones. What could be better; if the door popped open when finished. It does beep but if I'm not in the room I miss it. The economy cycle is over three hours long and I can't find a way to reduce that time. What I like; it beeps when a cycle finishes, there are options on half load and a 'soaking option. It's not too noisy. Overall a good machine at a reasonable price.
