Bosch dishwasher is definitely quiet as advertised. Does a great job cleaning & drying the dishes etc. I love that I can put Tupperware containers in it as it does not use a heating element & they don't melt. Inside light is also a plus. My only negative is the silverware holder which is very small. I realize they provide a 3rd rack on top which will hold silverware also. But, wish the silverware tray held more. Setting the controls to run the dishwasher are also a bit frustrating. When you press a button, you can't really tell if the dishwasher is going on or not. Overall, a great purchase & on sale, it wasn't as expensive as I expected.
