Product review (1 stars): DON'T EVEN CONSIDER THIS PIECE OF EUROTRASH
We made this unfortunate purchase 14 months ago, after searching through the Consumer Reports ratings and evaluations.  They (CR) gave this dishwasher rave reviews for function, quietness, reliability and energy conservation. They downplayed the smaller interior as "insignificantly smaller".  That all sounded good, so in spite of the grotesque price, we figured that it would amortize over a longer life, and heck, who doesn't want to save energy when it is feasible.

The ONLY positive thing I can say about this POC is that it IS quiet.

The interior layout is so goofy that it is virtually impossible to put a reasonable load of dishes into the baskets. The idiot that designed the interior must have been using doll-house dishes for sizing.  It took two runs to process the same load of dishes that my previous Whirlpool would wash (CLEAN) and dry (DRY and SPOTLESS) in a single run.  And it required 134 minutes to process one load.

And you have to keep feeding it this expensive Jet Dry rinse agent, or else you get a soapy film on the dishes, complete with a soapy taste as well.  And the dishes are NEVER dry when the cycle is done.

There are options for shorter cycles. Because we pre-rinse our dishes, the short wash cycle got the dishes adequately clean (but not as clean as the longer cycle). The problem is that at the end of the short cycle, the dishes are soaking wet, and if you let them dry in the dishwasher by evaporation, they end up horribly spotted.

The alleged "automatic cleanliness detector" detected NOTHING; there was no difference. The "detector" cycle also ran the full 134 minutes. And all of that in spite of the fact that I have the hot water which feeds the dishwasher set at 150.

So I wish some energy wizard would explain to me how it is saving energy to require twice as many cycles, each of which is longer than my Whirlpool, to do a given load of dishes and cookware, and not do them as well as the Whirlpool, with the additional requirement of frequently adding some energy-intensive chemical to the machine.

Based on the horrible experiences other owners have reported with respect to Bosch warranty support and repair service, I can say I am very thankful that this thing managed not to break in the 14 months we used it.

Bottom line, I hated the machine to the point I just would not use it often, and when my wife asked me PLEASE, for Christmas, PLEASE get rid of this thing, I understood and sympathized completely. So Dec. 23, while she was out shopping for Christmas dinner prep, I tore out this eurocrap tragedy and installed a new Whirlpool, which although it is NOT as quiet, it does its job remarkably well, and at roughly half the price.

Suffice it to say that she was EXTREMELY pleased.
