This is not my first Bosch dishwasher. I had my previous one for over 14 years and loved how quiet it was for my open kitchen/family room. This new dishwasher is clearly a few generations ahead in sound dampening technology. So quiet that the light indicating that it's on is really an essential. 
It's hard to believe is this new dishwasher only takes up the same space as my old dishwasher. The second rack holds smaller pans that used to only be able to go on the bottom rack. The top rack safely holds little items I used to wash by hand. I used to always hand wash quite a large stockpot because I couldn't fit it in the bottom rack. With the adjustable second rack, it fits. 
Even more wonderfully, I followed Bosch's instructions to stop rinsing off or prewashing everything. Where has that been all my life?  I half expect this dishwasher to start picking my kids up from school.
