This machine is amazing! The dishes and utensils come out spotless. Just a trace of water on some plastic items. I probably need to learn the best way to load this new machine. It is almost completely silent. Good thing it has the red light that shines on the floor or we would never know if it was running. We are so glad that the dishwasher that came with our new house was an old, rusty unit. That gave us a good reason to upgrade to a Bosch. We are very pleased!
