If you’ve researched Bosch you already know they make the quietest dishwashers, this one is no exception. It’s whisper quiet. The biggest reccomnendation is you have any plastics/bottles is to open the dishwasher as soon as it’s done the dry cycle. It does not use a heating element so it’s hard to get plastics dry unless you open it. It’s a fantastic dishwasher, the third row is a lifesaver for a mom of 4, 2 of which are baby twins. I use it for bottles, sippy cups and utensils. You can also load a ton into the dishwasher compared to basically any other dishwasher, it has so much room!
