I bought the Bosch to replace an upper-end Kitchenaide that finally gave up on me. I had always thought the old one did a good job, but I was amazed the first time I used the Bosch. Not only were the dishes clean, they sparkled! Everything was dry; even plastic bowels. And it makes like almost no noise!  We’re it not for the little light shining on the floor, you wouldn’t know it was running. Perhaps this unit was a bit higher priced than some units, but it does the job you would expect it to do and then some!  Oh, the shallow utensil rack at the top is an unexpected joy. I love this purchase.
