Product review (5 stars): Excellent Built-in Dishwasher
We've had our dishwasher for about 4 months now, and have used nearly everyday.  So far it has been quite a nice machine.  It holds more dishes than our old one (11 year old Whirlpool), and is amazingly quiet.  It is very well insulated and the countertop over it does not get the least bit warm but if I open the dishwasher during the dry cycle it is so hot inside I can barely tolerate the heat.  It doesn't have the traditional heating element in the bottom that many dishwashers have but there's really nothing inside that heats up yet it is blazingly hot inside.

I love too, how little soap you need to use.  And I was able to talk to a Bosch repair tech (we did have to make a call for service but it was not the dishwasher that was the problem.  The installers had crimped a water-line and  thus blocked the flow of water to the machine.  It worked fine when they were standing there testing it, but later, and after they had gone, the water got so hot that the metal mesh wrapped plastic inlet pipe collapsed due to the pressure of the dishwasher resting against it. Once that was fixed it's been clear sailing).  He said to keep it on "auto wash" since it gets the dishes the cleanest and to use only powdered dish detergent as the liquid kind doesn't always dissolve completely and will eventually clog the drain line.)  I've been using out of the same box I bought for the old dishwasher and I still have several loads worth left.

The dishes are very clean.  I've really put it to the test and even stacked dishes on top of each other to a certain extent and they still came out clean.  Then just the other day I put in a "Corningware" 4 qt. white ceramic casserole dish and glass lid that my husband used to bake some au gratin potato mixes and he burned them black.  After scraping out only the potatoes I chunked the blackened dish and lid in the dishwasher not expecting much but they both came out spotless.  All traces of burn were gone!  Also, I like that this dishwasher is a "tall tub" and I can now put larger items in the bottom rack and the rotating water sprayer (attached to the underside of the top rack) doesn't hit anything.  Drink pitchers and long-handled kitchen spoons and such stand up nicely in the silverware basket.  Just be sure to raise the top rack up so that there will be enough clearance.

The only think I can think of that wasn't perfectly ideal was the silverware basket.  It's o.k., but on the small/narrowish side and doesn't hold as much silverware as the basket from the old dishwasher.  So, I kept the old basket and am using it and it fits fine in the new dishwasher.  Also, take time to read the manual concerning the model you purchased.  I sat in the floor in front of the dishwasher and carefully read how to program everything.  That was a little tedious and a flow chart would have been helpful, but once it's done it's done and you shouldn't have to go back and re-do anything.  And though there is a way to lock out unwanted button presses (small kids just love to press buttons) I haven't used that option though I would have loved to have had it on the old dishwasher when the kids were younger. Also, don't try to put too much soap powder into the soap holder or it will not stay shut.  It really doesn't use much soap.  And finally, even though it has completed it's cycle, the lights on the front will not go out unless you push the start/stop button.  No big deal, but they will stay on forever if you don't.

So, so far we have been very pleased with this dishwasher and look forward to many years of use out of it.  It also uses much less energy and water (is labeled as a energy efficient unit) than our previous dishwasher.

UPDATE:  5.9.12  We've been using this dishwasher on average about 4 times a week.  I really pack the dishes into it and rarely does something come out that needs to be washed again.  It hasn't given us any problems whatsoever and we expect it to last for several more years.

UPDATE 8.12.15 - The electronics panel on the dishwasher has gone wonky.  We had a repair tech come out to fix it but he said the panel needed to be replaced at a cost of around $500.00.  I paid his service fee of $20.00 and sent him away.  I have found a way to get the dishwasher to work though - when it starts it's cycle (and it always immediately quit), if I open the door and shut it, wait a few minutes and open and shut it again the dishwasher will run it's full cycle.  Otherwise it moans for a few minutes and the clean light turns on.
