Product review (5 stars): Amazingly quiet and excellent washing
I have had this dishwasher for two years.  I initially wanted a Kenmore because I know how to work on them.  After talking to repair people, though, I decided to buy a Bosch.  The only thing the technicians said they ever had to repair was a certain relay that switches on the water heaters.  I have seen mention of burnt spots on the circuit boards on the Internet, but I am not worried.  I can easily repair or replace either of these things.  Kenmore/Whirlpool/Roper dishwashers have a delicate pump assembly that costs as much as a new dishwasher to replace.  Been there, not doing that again.

There are so many things to love about the Bosch machines.  Even the low trim line models have a leak sensor that shuts the water off instead of allowing a flood.  They also have the water heater integrated with one of the pumps so that you do not have a heating element on which your plastic items will melt.  Put your Tupperware in the bottom rack if you want to.  Also, they all have stainless steel interiors.

I got this higher trim line model because the office is open to the kitchen in our house.  I wanted to be able to wash dishes during conference calls on the speaker phone.  The dishwasher is not yet enclosed in a cabinet, but it is blissfully quiet.  Also, I am enjoying the deluxe adjustable racks, the versatile silverware baskets, and the tall item sprayer.

The wash cycle is very long, but the tradeoff is very low water usage.  At first, it did not dry well.  However, I increased the rate of release of the rinse agent, and now all but the plastics dry well.

I have had questions occasionally and called the Bosch tech support number which is clearly visible on a label on the door.  After a short navigation through the computer menu, I have had no hold time before speaking to a real, well-trained human.  I cannot get quick, competent help like that for any of my other appliances which include G.E., Frigidaire, Kenmore, Sharp, and Whirlpool.

Also, when I unpacked my dishwasher, it was wet inside.  I called Tech Support and was told that the dishwashers are tested before being shipped out.  I'll bet none of the other appliance manufacturers do that.

I thought I was spending too much for this dishwasher, but I feel like I am getting a much better value than I would have on any other brand of appliance.
