Product review (5 stars): Happy owner
Just bought and installed this Bosch dishwasher. I discounted the handful of negative reviews on Amazon and checked the reviews on Consumersearch.com (best DW overall), ABT (there were 26 reviews with average of 4.2 stars out of 5) and Sears (55 reviews with 3.5 out of 5; and both Sears and ABT were $100 less than Amazon.) So far, very happy with product and performance but will update this review if things change. Dishes get clean. Glasses are crystal clear. Period. With our last DW, we had to wash first, then put in the DW. To test the new Bosch, dried on food dishes put in without prewash, come out clean (although baked on pizza on a pizza sheet did not "wash" off in DW). Dishes come out dry, excepting the occasional plastic, Tupperware type product. As the physicists can explain, plastic just doesn't conduct heat very well, so won't dry as well as metal and china. It is very, very quiet, but not "silent" as others have reported. When running, the sound is subtle enough in the background that I know it's running, but we are happy with how quiet it is and can have a comfortable conversation in the kitchen when the DW is running. The most noise comes from the water being discharged into the garbage disposal, not from the DW itself. We like the flatware trays and don't really have any complaints with the rack designs. Another reviewer complained about the racks coming off the rollers. It hasn't been an issue for us, but again goes to design quality where DW no longer have attached racks that pull out, instead using rolling racks that rolling on the open DW door. Also, if the DW is not installed level and properly anchored, there will be operational problems and problems with the racks not coming out correctly/squarely and the racks rubbing the sides/gaskets. Others complain about it not drying, not cleaning, not rinsing or smells. We have had NO similar, negative experiences, but again, improper installation will give rise to some of these issues.

Cons: As noted by others, build quality isn't the way DW used to be made. Plastic, plastic and more plastic. Twenty years ago, I was a lot younger and stronger,  and DWs were so heavy I could not lift one by myself. Now I'm a lot older and I can lift this Bosch by myself with no effort. And when did they stop making DW 24" deep? If the DW was 24" deep instead of 20", it would hold a lot more dishes/pots. I guess that went the way of 1/2 gallons of ice cream. If Bosch spent another dollar or two they could affix the sound insulation with adhesive so that it stays in place during the installation process, but this is a very small thing. Plastic feet are probably a good thing to reduce sound transmission through the floor.

How long it runs without problems, unknown yet.

Update: 1/26/15. Thus far, absolutely no problems and still love it. Still almost silent operation and still gets dishes clean (however, you must not neglect to add the dishwashing aid solution when the indicator light comes on. For reasons I don't understand, without the rinse aid, dishes aren't as clean.) Would definitely buy again.

Update: 1/16/17 Four years later and still love it! No issues.
