Product review (5 stars): I could not be more pleased
We have had our Bosch Dishwasher for 18 months.  My husband had wanted a dishwasher for years, but I stubbornly insisted it was the only appliance that never did its job and refused to have one.  Everywhere I go for dinner, my hosts scrape, rinse and almost wash each item before loading their dishwashers, so what is the point?  Eventually, I got tired of listening to my husband complain about dishes left in the sink, so I caved in.  Then, I entered the frightening world of makes, models and options.  I could not believe the choices.  I began reading and talking to people.  Two of my close neighbors were purchasing dishwashers at the same time.  One neighbor did her homework and bought a Frigidaire, and I have to say she studied so much and for so long, she almost convinced me to buy the same one she selected. The other neighbor bought a Kenmore.  I found buying a dishwasher was more difficult than any other appliance I've purchased and more time consuming than selecting a car has ever been.  My neighbors now have cloudy, spotty glassware.  The only solution to their problem is getting water softeners, or so they've been told.  My glassware is bright, sparkly without a water spot in sight. I have the exact same city water as my neighbors, and we do not have a water softener either.  I don't think the water is their problem.  I think they bought the wrong dishwasher.  Yes, theirs cost a lot less, but they are unhappy, and I am grateful I spent more money.  I swear things weren't this clean and bright when I was hand washing.  My dishwasher amazes me every single day.  I don't ever rinse anything.  Baked on mac and cheese, cornbread, or bits of burned fish on frying pans are no match for Finish Quantum Detergent, Finish Jet Dry and this Bosch machine.  We put pots and pans in there, and we simply don't hand wash anymore except for my huge soup pots.  We do run it nearly every day, so I haven't had dishes waiting for more than two days before washing.  I set it for the auto wash and sani rinse the first time I ran it, and have kept the setting there ever since.  Maybe once or twice I changed the setting to heavy. .  I have never been happier with an appliance.  I am so glad I bought a Bosch.  I wouldn't consider anything else.
