After having the same dishwasher for over 20 years, my wife and I finally decided to upgrade to a new Bosch 300 dishwasher. We were hesistant at first to spend the money, but now cannot believe it took us so long. This dishwasher is not only so quiet that we could not at first tell if it was running or not and had to open it up constantly, but it also cleans much better. It will clean the dirty dishes that our teenager fails to rinse even with the most baked on foods. We also decided to get the 300 model over the lower one due to the third rack, which we feel is a must and worth every penny. Our only regret is waiting so long to make this purchase!
