I have a Durawash as well, and so far I like it. It has a mechanical timer and none of the electronic digital stuff. Although it doesn't have a food chopper, it still cleans very well so far and runs a very fast cycle. No bells, no whistles, and not everybody would like it. But it suits my purpose just fine. I especially like how the timer shows the progress, and this is something you don't get with a digital GE! I'm with autowasherfreak: It's a bit loud, but the noise really doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I prefer a little noise over quiet.
