I have had a Kitchenaide dishwasher for many years. When I installed my new Bosch dishwasher, I could not have been more pleased. Since I am tall, I never realized how constantly bending to put all the silverware in the bottom of old machine was hurting my back. I was also impressed with how quiet it was. I almost thought  it wasn't working when i dtarted the cycle. Honestly, barely a sound. It is also more cost efficient, as i load it and time it to wash after midnight when the electricity per kWh goes down. Just very happy with my purchase.
