Purchased unit on January 7th, 2019; self-installed it at home the next day; it replaced an existing (different model) 5-year-old Samsung unit only because hard water had caused the rotating arms to deteriorate. The prior unit was rated at 50 decibels and was indeed quieter than this new model. However, this new model has a washing noise of water falling and spraying, like a bubbling fountain, not any mechanical noises during the cycles, and we wrapped an additional layer of insulation blanket around the new unit that we salvaged from the prior unit. The noise--if you call it that--is not bothersome; cooking, conversation, and laundry in the adjacent room all are louder than the unit operating.
Selecting options and starting the unit is simpler than any other units and brands I've had and it does indeed allow you to open the device mid-cycle; you can re-start the unit by pressing Start again, and re-closing the door. In regards to visibility of the indicator lights when door is shut, the unit does sing a chime when the cycle is finished.
Dishes do wash and dry beautifully in this unit; moisture does collect on the inside of the stainless steel door after the drying cycle, but I have heard that new dishwashers are designed to attract the moisture to the doors and walls of the unit, away and off of the dishes. Any machines built by man do deserve human attention and care and there's nothing wrong with wiping down the inner side of the stainless steel door after you've ran the unit to keep it clean and shiny. This unit also features a metal lower spinning arm, rather than a plastic one, which is a feature that I'm hoping will keep the sprayer functioning well for longer with the hard water that my house has, even with a softening system installed for the house.
The rinse aid receptacle does not have a regulator; you cannot adjust how much or how little is dispensed, which is a refreshing operational simplification.
The unit DOESN'T come with a cord, so we re-used our prior Samsung cord. It also doesn't come with a dishwasher elbow to connect to the typical, modern dishwasher water line with female ends so I bought a Dishwasher Elbow, 3/4" FHT, 3/8" Comp, 90* Elbow which connected easily.
The unit DOES come with a connected drain hose.
The handle bar matches the design of the handles on my 10-year old Samsung 2-door stainless steel fridge, a product that has never malfunctioned (including the water and ice features) that I have been very happy with--I have a lot of faith in Samsung kitchen appliances.
I've observed that the inside of the unit appears to have more vertical room for dishes than my prior tall-tub Samsung did.
I'm very happy with this dishwasher and I feel it does live up to the operational standards and quality that come with the Samsung brand. The affordability of the product is a major plus and I'm glad this model was out there waiting to be bought. My family and I named it Sammy and the fridge is now Big Sam.
