When looking at custom panel dishwashers your options are somewhat limited so when we moved to our home it had an original European dishwasher that was just outdated. We chose this Bosch and we have been extremely happy with it. The third rack is very handy for utensils, lids for coffee cups, silverware etc. The dishes are spotless  every time and is very quiet with a floor light to let you know if it is cleaning or is finished cleaning. My only issue with it and why I didn't give it 5 stars is that unless you use the extended dry there seems to be a lot of water left on the flat surfaces, especially the third rack. When we use the extended dry (addl 25 mins) it is better, not perfect but much better. Having said that I will still buy it again but how by the time we need another that part will be better.
