Functionally the dishwasher is great. But the door mechanism really sucks. It is way too flimsy to last. We had to replace our first dishwasher, because the plastic bracket guiding the rope connected to the coil spring - holding the door - was so flimsy that it broke after less than one year operation. It was repaired twice, the first time on warranty, but it just held a few months. We like the dishweasher. But we expect the door mechansim to break again. We accept this, because it does not affect the cleaning quality. But I am not impressed with the Bosch engineering of this dishwasher detail.
