Product review (5 stars): Superb cleaning ability and holds a ton of dishes
I replaced a 7-year-old KitchenAid dishwasher with this Bosch because the KitchenAid was a lemon; didn't clean dishes, left grit and scum on them, smelled bad, the element cooked the bottom of the silverware rack so pieces of it broke off into the machine and made it operate poorly and silverware fell through the holes!!  Unbelievable.  This new Bosch model is a lower end model, but I didn't want all the bells and whistles (and cost) of the higher end ones.  It does what you need it to, and so superbly, that you realize that the bells and whistles are really superfluous.  It is quiet, every single dish is clean beyond belief (and smooth! no more grit! it took the KitchenAid grit off!!), it was easy to install, and it holds so many more dishes than the KitchenAid did with its bigger racks!  The racks in the Bosch are better designed so they actually hold more dishes, spacing them closer to each other.  This is a great dishwasher and I'm just kicking myself for not buying it years ago.
