Product review (4 stars): Five years and running
We've had this dishwasher for over a year now and have encountered no issues whatsoever. What's especially nice is the capability of cleaning dishes without any scraping. This unit is very quiet.

Some notes:
- we run the unit on 'auto wash' only when it's completely full
- we use the recommended Finish Powerball tabs (a pain to unwrap but whatever)
- we have softened water and use several types of rinse aids
- we had our unit professionally installed

Concerning drying issues - we've experienced no issues concerning glass and metal-ware: Occasionally we pop the door slightly to assist the vapor in escaping, however we usually leave it closed and the items still properly dry. Of course plastic items will not dry (which makes sense as they cannot be heated enough to evaporate the moisture). This isn't a big deal to us as we toss them into the dish rack for 10 minutes. Come to think of it, this machine really isn't great for cheap/flimsy takeout-style plastic containers as they tend to flip/bounce around unless anchored.

I'm glad that we purchased this specific model (after hemming/hawing over the extra $$) - true it was a bit more due to the full metal chamber however the chamber does a great job of radiating heat and staying spotless. Also, from what I've read of other Bosch models, this one appears to be of a higher construction quality.

(Update). As  people are still reading this review, thought I'd update.
- Have had this unit for 16 months now.
-  No noticeable changes in performance, no repairs.
- Average load: Once a day (full).
- Still using autowash

Our only observation: The metal chamber isn't bomb-proof - we have several dings on the inside door from accidentally dropping silverware/such on it.

Am posting this out of principle -  I still think this is a quality appliance.

UPDATE: Five years later and still going strong without issue. Verifying that the door-gasket area is clean before use really pays off.
