I have owned a Gagganau dishwasher for 23 years. Yes, the same machine and it survived our three kids and their kids. It was basically indestructible. I was sad when the dishwasher stopped running and of course after 23 years there were no readily available parts. I chose to stay with a high quality brand and Bosch has owned Gagganau for years. My wife and I are thrilled with our new Bosch machine it has a lot of new features, fits perfectly in our cabinets and I'm betting it will be running long after we are gone.
