This is our first Bosch dishwasher. Previously we've had Whirlpool and Samsung. The Whirlpool lasted 16 years—not bad. The Samsung was the worst appliance experience we've ever had.

By the time we got the Bosch I was unsure we'd ever have clean dishes again. Lo and behold the Bosch is one of the best appliances we've ever purchased. The dishes come out clean, the dishwasher is near silent, and the third top rack is fantastic for so many oddly shaped things in our kitchen.

A few things I don't like. 1) the stainless front is impossible to keep looking nice. Really disappointed in this. 2) It's a bit on the small side. We have a family of four and on days where we eat two meals at home or more we run at least one load of dishes, and sometimes two.

All in all I highly recommend this dishwasher and Bosch as a brand overall.
