The DW18S2IPV is Bertazzoni’s current 18-inch panel-ready dishwasher, the standard-tub counterpart to the older DW18PR already covered on this site. At 51 dB it runs noticeably louder than Bertazzoni’s tall-tub 24-inch models, which is a normal trade-off of the compact standard-tub design rather than a sign of a developing problem — worth knowing before assuming a noisy cycle points to a mechanical problem.
