The dishwasher does an excellent job of cleaning the dishes. Our only complaint is that we have trouble getting it to accept our choice of cycles. We can always get it to run well on the cycles it seems to choose, but we have trouble getting it to run on the more economical cycles. My dishes, however, have never been cleaner. I love the way that it does the job it is made to do. I am glad I purchased the Bosch because it lives up to its reputation. Consumer Reports gives it the highest ratings and my experience has been in keeping with that recommendation. The only reason I don't give it a five is because I have been unable to get it to perform some of the cycles that are available on the machine.
