Product review (2 stars): Expensive Dishwasher, Poor cleaning, Cheap Construction
We decided to "upgrade" to a Bosch. After many years of buying dishwashers, this is a disappointment. Perhaps the worst performance factor is that, even with required pre-washing, often the dishes come out dirtier than when placed inside. In their attempt to "save" water (which roughly amounts to a gallon a day if used for 300 loads per year), the appliance runs for between 120 and 150 minutes! !. This is BEYOND excessive, both in time and electricity use. With hot water and strong pressure (and maybe a bit more water), wash time should be 30 minutes. The tines are cheaply constructed and have rusted through in several places. They bend easily and have required various patch reinforcements. It is difficult to fit dishes in at several locations inside. There is no solid food grinder to take care of small pieces of stuck food that wash off. Their claim of being so quiet is nice, but unnecessary. They felt a need to place a red light that shines on the floor to tell you it is on since it is difficult to hear. I don't recommend this product!
