Good Points: It looks nice

Bad Points: It doesn't work

General comments: We have a Bosch dishwasher, model SHU 5300, that has stopped working. After a brief online search, it is apparent that there is a defect in the circuit board of this particular model. Many consumers have had problems with it and many have posted complaints.
The dishwasher is only three years old. Bosch will cover the cost of a new circuit board, but will not pay for the labor. The Bosch repair people want to charge us $100 to enter our house and look at the dishwasher. The labor would be above and beyond that minimum amount of money.

(Honestly, one would assume Bosch would have issued a recall and fixed all of these defective machines before allowing so many customers to be unhappy.)
I am extremely dissatisfied with the dishwasher, but I am even more dissatisfied with the Bosch company.
