This is the best dishwasher I have ever owned!!! It has been worth every penny. My friends think I. Crazy for getting such an expensive unit, but to e it is a worthwhile investment and I know the quality of BOSCH is the highest quality you can find. I love the third rack! That was a feature I really wanted. Having a 39 Decible dishwasher is just AMAZING!! My grandkids think the red light shining on the floor to show it is in use is great. I have an open floor plan and with my family room and kitchen being almost one I. The same room. It is nice not to have to turn up the TV to hear! I left the plastic cover on because I have a 1.5yr old grandbaby and it is an added protection for smudges and little finger prints.
