We are very happy with our new Bosch dishwasher. Our kitchen in our older home is very small and does not have space for a full-sized dishwasher, so this smaller appliance is perfect. We are especially impressed by the amazingly quiet operation of this dishwasher. The only time we notice its presence is when the appliance is draining water, and that is just a quiet gurgling sound. Also, this dishwasher doesn't use much water, which is very important to us because our city is suffering from a drought and we have a limited monthly water allotment. And, the dishes are so much cleaner than they were when we washed them by hand -- less water and cleaner dishes! The controls are easy to use. The racks are nicely designed. The stainless steel is easy to clean. Overall, we are very happy!
