We lived in our home seven years before purchasing a dishwasher.  We did a lot of research and our Plumber was the one who recommended Bosch brand above all others. We are grateful that he did!  This unit is super quiet, cleans very well, has heated dry (a feature surprisingly not all dishwashers have), and fit perfectly with our other stainless steel oven/fridge/microwave (even though it is a different brand).
