i have to have matching appliances  and was deciding between bosch, whirlpool and samsung. absolutely love our samsung kitchen! the biggest reason we considered bosch is because of our previous experience with a dishwasher - i didn't think it could be beat, but this dishwasher does. it's quieter than our bosch was. you literally cannot hear it running standing right next to it. it cleans better and the third row tray are terrific as is the flexibility in loading options. (in all fairness, the bosch was about 6 years ago)
