They are quiet, but so was the one we bought in 2007 when we built a house in Illinois, but before the full force of the regs kicked in. You don’t need a government regulation to get people to buy quiet dishwashers. Some might even have a quiet vs. fast setting. We might see that we the new generation of fast dishwashers. Now I am waiting for making washing machines and toilets great again.
Can’t argue there - we don’t find it inconvenient to have to wait on the dishwasher - since it’s so quiet, we can run it at night and use the special dry option so they are pristine and ready the next morning...
We adjust our toilets for a full flush - as long as you don’t have one of those dinky tanks, there are fillers that allow for enough water to be effective.
I also removed the limiters from our shower heads so we get good pressure for showers.
