We replaced our 8 year old Whirlpool a month ago, and should have done it sooner. The Bosch scrubs even casseroles squeaky clean, dries everything, and removes the whole "is this bottom rack safe?" worry. The third rack was new for us, but now is a feature we wish we had looked for earlier. Flatware and small items get so much cleaner, and leaves more room in the bottom rack. We love this machine.
