Even if you're not chemically sensitive, a stainless-steel interior keeps 
the dishwasher from developing that nasty sour smell inside.  Another 
high recommendation for this here.

The one thing I don't like about the dishwasher I have now is that 
there's no drain trap, so it tends to get clogged up with dish gunk and 
drain slowly and not clean as well.
