Sleek, understated appearance looks nice. Best of all, it cleans well (as expected) and operates so quietly that the first time I ran it, I wasn't sure it was actually working! Bonus is that the drawers are well-designed so that it holds an incredible amount of dishes, silverware and other items. I generally use the "Speed - 60 min" cycle, which leaves cleaned dishes a bit wet. However, I don't mind and prop the door open to let everything air dry. I'm never in such a hurry and prefer to save on the electricity required for extra drying. Overall, after two months of using it, I love my new Bosch dishwasher!
