We purchased the floor model because this particular model was not being stocked any time soon.  It was newly placed in the store in perfect condition and we decided to " cash and carry" it immediately home.  We have moved into a new home all new kitchen and it is beautiful, quiet and I am excited about learning all the features yet to be discovered.  By the way this is our 3rd Bosch bought within last 25 years, with the 2 appliances still working as if they are just bought.  Thank you.
