Featured KitchenAid KDFM404KBS review: “This dishwasher is so quiet you will not know that it is on. I wanted this particular model for the top flex rack that is big enough to hold more than just flat utensils. (See pic.) It will hold glasses and small plastics plus larger utensils. But even after all that the best part is the completely dry plastics. I no longer have to hand dry the plastic storage containers when they come out even after never using the extended heat dry function.”
