Product review (5 stars): Quiet, so quiet and does a wonderful job
I've had this model for four years now, I replaced all the appliances in the house with Bosch appliances.  This is a great dishwasher, it is quiet for sure, you really have to listen to hear it running.  I really have no complaints about this dishwasher, it replaced a newer Kenmore which sounded like an airplane taking off when it was running, so noise was a big factor for me.

Have not had any problems with this dishwasher, or any of my Bosch appliances.  These dishwashers at least generally rate very high with Consumer Reports for reliability, that was one factor in my purchase of this brand.

Many people don't realize that there are only a handful of appliance manufacturers out there, Whirlpool makes most brands, including Kenmore, Maytag, Kitchen Aid etc... GE makes their own.  Bosch is a german manufacturer of applicances, and they manufacture under other names as well, for instance if you do your homework you can get a Bosch manufactured appliance under the Kenmore name (money savings).  Bosch also manufactures dishwashers under the Viking name brand, and Thermador.

Anyway, back to this dishwasher, it's near silent operation and beautiful asthetics make it a true delight to use.  It has multiple options for differing loads as most do today.  I use the Eco option from time to time, when I have small loads, and sometimes use the half-load option.  I like the way I don't have to continually load it with rinse agent, it really holds a lot.  Speaking of which, this dishwasher keeps your crystal, crystal clear.

Very nice dishwasher.  Highly recommended!
