I liked our previous dishwashers better -- this is the high end model.  I would get a more basic model if I had it to do over again.  I personally don't like having the 3rd rack -- I never use it.  I would rather have the extra room on the 2 lower racks.  This machine doesn't seem to hold as much as our previous machine.  This machine is fairly quiet except when the pump kicks in -- it is very loud -- which may indicate it is fairly powerful...hopefully.  The other noise took me awhile to figure out -- when the dishwasher tablet drops, you can hear that -- I never heard that on our previous machines.  On this one our silverware, etc doesn't come out a clean, so I end up checking each piece as I unload them.  If I need another dishwasher I would still buy a Bosch but just not this model.
