Our Bosch dishwasher proves that not all dishwashers are created equally. It is THE quietest dishwasher we've ever had, and we've had some very good ones. It is also faster and does a much better job of cleaning than our previous choices. We were willing to pay a bit more for something that will outlast other units, so only time will tell if we made a good purchase, but it looks promising in the very early going!
