Product review (4 stars): SHE55M15U Dishwasher - Awesome after test driving
After much research, yes reading the GOOD and the BAD, we bought this dishwasher. Visually we're not happy: our old dishwasher, a GE, filled the entire space. The Bosch has a 1/2" gap all around the opening. However, it is sealed with a gasket that encloses the space. The interior is smaller than most dishwashers we looked at but the ability to configure the interior is what sold us. With the exception of two short rows of tines in the top and bottom racks all others fold "FLAT". This has given us the ability to wash pots, pans, large or oddly shaped pieces easily. The size has not been an issue. When we have parties we generally wash more than one load of dishes and this is no different. It took some time and frustration to learn how to load the dishwasher. Referring to the manual, with it's loading diagrams, solved the problem.....should have done this first. Our dishes come out literally sparkling. The dishwasher is so quiet I have walked over to check and make sure it was running. Unless you're standing right in front of the dishwasher you cannot hear it. There have been comments about dishes coming out wet which we experienced at first. However, again after reading the manual and loading the dishes properly solved this problem. It's the tilt at which you place items that makes the difference. Comments have also been made about the long run times but in our research they're not much different than any other dishwasher. Also we run it when we go to bed so the running time is not an issue. It took a few tries at loading, as I mentioned read the manual it's a big help, and I can say we're happy to have made this purchase.  NOTE: do not open the dishwasher to unload until the timer goes to 0 otherwise you will break the door seal and the dishes will not have dried properly. This could be another reason there have been comments about wet dishes.
