When our 5 year old dishwasher needed repairs we opted to get a new one. Because our dishwasher was located in a place that had no sound barrier behind it we couldn't even hear the TV when it was running. My husband said this time we're getting a Bosch because they are supposed to have the quietest. We have had it installed now for over a month. I will tell you a funny story, the first time we ran it we didn't think it was running. We had to put our ear against the front of the unit before we could hear it run! This is the absolute truth, thank you Bosch we finally have a quiet house and I can run the dishwasher anytime I want.
