I have been without a dishwasher for two years, only because I   refused to buy another cheap brand to only have a break on me after a year, so I saved up for a whole year to buy this dishwasher! 
 I was so excited when it got installed it cleans dishes better than any other dishwasher I have ever had, and it's the quietest I have ever heard! Which is funny because you can't hear it at all. I will never buy anything but a Bosch again it was definitely worth going a couple years without a dishwasher to be able to have one as nice as this, if only money grew on trees! Thank you Bosh!!
