I needed an 18" dishwasher due to space in my new cabin kitchen.  This has turned out to be the best dishwasher I've ever had!!!  With the 3rd level, I can fit so many dishes, utensils and even a casserole dish or pan in the bottom.  Love the ability to adjust levels.  The first time I turned it on, I would not have known it was running if not for the digital countdown!  So quiet!!!!  My dishes have come out perfectly clean and dry each time!!!  Thank you for making such a wonderful product Bosch!  It's perfect for just my husband and myself or when we have the family here.
