We redid our kitchen which prompted my wife to buy all new appliances. We settled on Bosch as this is our second one and my wife was very pleased with the first one. Of course she wanted the quietest which this most definitely is significantly quieter than the first one which I thought was pretty quiet also. Beyond being quiet, the extras in this model make the price very well worth it. The interior space the adjustable racks and the extra third shelf all combined with the quiet factor makes this a highly recommendable dishwasher
