I bought this after my previous dishwasher died after only 5 years! It was not a Bosch. I wanted something quiet and that would actually clean my dishes. This dishwasher exceeded all my expectations. I have had numerous dishwashers over the years but none ever came close to this one. The third shelf is something I did not know I needed until I got it. My silverware has never been so clean. Well worth the price. I love it!
