Product review (2 stars): Old Bosch dishwashers were better!!
I purchased a Bosch Ascenta dishwasher in 2010, my first Bosch.  It is very quiet, although as the years pass, it is not nearly as quiet as when new.  I was quickly disappointed in how ineffective their "drying" process is.  You will need to read up on them to learn that they don't really have a "drying" cycle as such.  The result is that your dishes will come out fairly wet, especially plastics. My problem with this is that since we live in a humid climate to begin with (Florida) the lack of a drying cycle just exacerbates our humidity battle.  When I start the dw after dinner on regular cycle, it takes 2 hours 19 minutes, and that means it finishes around bedtime.  So I like to wait until the following morning to unload it.  But that results in a lot of my flatware and cooking utensils having tiny rust spots already!!  Even good grades of stainless!!  Interestingly, a couple of years after we purchased this Bosch, we purcased a summer home up north that had a working Bosch dishwasher in it already!  I was very concerned that I would have more of the same problem!  Not so!  That  particular dishwasher was an older model (circa 1999) and apparently it has a dry cycle as my dishes there come out sparkling clean PLUS they are dry!!  And that is when I open the door.......so it is not just that the climate there is less humid than Florida!!  I have concluded that the older models are superior in this aspect.  I do hope Bosch eventually goes back to the way they built dishwashers in the 1990's.  The dishwasher at our northern home does a fantastic job all around, and in less time than the new one.  Lesson learned, newer is not always better!  When it comes time to replace any dishwasher at either home, I will be looking for one with a dry cycle, as this is the first time I have ever had to deal with the issue of rusting in just a few hours.  Go back, Bosch, to when you got it altogether right!!!  And I will gladly purchase another dishwasher from you!
