The machine is pretty quiet and does a great job cleaning. I have some constructive criticism though. For one, Bosch recommends dishwasher pods, and I find that they leave an overwhelming chemical residue and odor. I have found that only a small amount of liquid detergent does a great job. Secondly, it's frustrating that some of the functions like "Rinse" and "Eco" are locked behind use of the app. What makes it frustrating is the setup in and use of the app are not intuitive and the app doesn't always function, so it's not possible to always have access to all of the functions. Also, if one isn't tech savvy, then one may not realize that there are "add-ons" that need to be downloaded in order to have full access to all functions of the dishwasher, when I believe that all functions should be available immediately out of the box. That machine was easy to install, is quiet, and does a great job cleaning and drying.
