Mine does have the 3rd tray in the top for silver ware.  I like it because it allows more room in the bottom for other things.  It washes great too except for sometimes it a moron loads it incorrectly some things do not get clean.  Or maybe it is because it has the top tray.  In any case no

2 hours for soak/wash/rinse/dry wouldn't bother me unless I wanted to use the pots and pans less than 2 hours after I cleared the table and ran the dishwasher. In my life 8 hours would be fine. Put the supper dishes in it, run it, and they'll be done long before breakfast.
