It's oh, so, quiet... shhh!…

I've needed a new dishwasher for a while as my prongs had started to rust and fall off!
The dishwasher arrived with very little packaging which made installing it a breeze. It was up and running in minutes.
I plugged it in and set it running. At this point I started to panic as I could not hear anything. There was nothing wrong, it's just far far quieter than my old one!
The dishwasher gets dishes really clean, even plastic ones which were an issue with my old one. The satellite arm seems to give good coverage everywhere with no blackspots.
I have a total mismatch of crockery and so far it has accepted everything I've tried to put in it. The layout of the prongs is different to my old dishwasher, so it's been a little like going up a level on dishwasher Tetris! Hours of fun for all the family ;)
The middle rack is height adjustable to give more space to the bottom or middle racks depending on what you have to go in. It takes seconds to adjust - lift it up and it stays there, lift it again and it drops. My old dishwasher had height adjustment, but was so fiddly to do that I never bothered!
The cutlery drawer is amazing. I was concerned it wouldn't accommodate the hodgepodge of different brands, sizes and shapes of cutlery I have acquired over the years but it takes everything. Even the chunky handled plastic cutlery that never fit in my old one. Everything has fit effortlessly in the drawer and I have not had anything fall through the grid.
I was also worried it might take longer to load and unload, but it seems to actually take less time. Loading takes slightly longer but having everything already organised means putting away is very quick!
There is a red plastic grid on the middle rack to hold wine glasses, and notches on the plastic supports at the side for the stems. Other AEG dishwashers have red rubber clips to grip the stems but they don't seem to be available for this model. There is a separate plastic rack available to wash long-stemmed glasses, I may invest in one of those for after parties.
Overall I am extremely happy with the performance and how easy it is to use. I cannot believe how quiet it is, aside from the clunk when it pushes the door open for the air-dry segment of the cycle - this made the cat jump a mile on the first day but he has been ok with it since!
