Product review (5 stars): Top quality and quiet
We actually bought this Bosch dishwasher model SHE45M06UC at Lowes with a 10% discount for a total of about $635 in January 2008. It is superb!  We originally were looking at the Kenmore and Whirpool lines in the $500 range.  But after examining the Bosch we went ahead and spent another $135 to get it.

I think we could easily have been happy with the kenmore or Whirlpool models, but we are glad we bought the Bosch SHE45 instead.  We are very pleased with it even at the premium price.

Significant features:
- All stainless steel interior and nylon coated racks (not likely to wear through and rust)
- Opti-Clean dirt sensor to automatically adjust cleaning time
- Regular, pot scrubber and half wash
- Time delay
- 51 db (super quiet)
- Qualifies for an Oregon State engery savings tax credit
- No heater coils exposed so you can place plastic items on lower rack

PROS: Every Bosch is much quieter that any most other brand because it does not have a food grinder built in. It just uses a stainless steel mesh screen which is easy to empty and only needs to be emptied every month or so. We scape and quickly rinse our dishes before putting them in the dishwasher anyway, so a food grinder seemed superfluous. Fewer moving parts also means fewer things to break or wear out.

Another feature we like is the stainless steel tub/liner which is heavier gauge than the similar Kenmore. Granted, our old Kenmore never wore out its plastic liner, but the Bosch interior is NICE.

This model is not only quieter than even most Bosch models (you can barely hear it and is much quieter than our microwave across the kitchen), it also uses about half the energy per year as the cheaper SHE43 model.

It is fantastic to be able to put large plastic items (mixing bwls, colander, etc.) on the lower rack.  This is because most washers have a heating element exposed in the bottom of the interior and will melt plastic items to close to it.  the bosh uses an enclosed heater that has the water forced through it making every part of the interior the same temperature as the water.

Dishes come out VERY clean.  Only uses one tablespoon of detergent for our Pacific Northwest soft water.

Very easy to raise and lower the top rack.

CONS:
Drying of items takes longer as the heating element is not exposed in the interior.  This is not a problem for just my wife and I and occasional family get togethers. We typically only wash a load ever 1-2 days.  But if you frequently needed to do back-to-back loads for a large family or groups, then the Bosch line may not be the best for you.

The racks seem not to hold our particular type of dishes as efficiently as I expected.  Again, for just the two of us now it is no problem.  I think the Kenmore/whirlpool may have a better rack design.

Installation requires very specific routing of the power and water lines along the floor.  This is because it fits so close to the floor that it has channels molded into the bottom to allow the passage of these two lines.  However, with no experience I was able to do this by making sure I had long enough lines to get them routed through while the dishwaser was just in front of its cubbyhole and fully exposed.  Other guys I talked to suggested taping the lines to the floor at the distances specified in the instructions.
