Product review (5 stars): Very very quiet
I have had experience with a Bosch dishwasher years ago in my old house and I was very pleased with its performance and decided to get this newer model. This new one replaced my old GE unit that is about six years. This model is amazingly quiet.
I don't have to turn it off while talking on the phone or watching TV, like my old GE brand. It is doing its job on cleaning dishes and I like the Express mode that uses less energy and less water during a 30 minute wash cycle.
I have had to run this new unit three times (full cycle) to get rid of the new machine smell, but that is really no big deal.
It also came shipped in virtual ballistic cardboard, which protected it perfectly. I hope this dishwasher lasts, but time will tell.
