I did lots of research on the internet before deciding on Kitchenaid or Bosch..Price was some consideration but I wanted a washer that good reviews. Bosch,made in Germany,or in the US (probably imported parts) and the store had it in stock, no waiting. Paid for installation , wanted it done right.
Been over 3 weeks,I'm satisfied, it is SO QUIET. I wish the buttons to select the washing selection were backlite,but they do lite up when you press it,so you can make a change if desired
