Good Points: Extremely quiet and does a credible job at cleaning dishes economically

Bad Points: Flimsy rollers on top and bottom baskets that don't hold up well. The drying heating element on the bottom (Bosch doesn't dry dishes via hot air blower system) has a nasty habit of melting plastic utensils that land on the bottom during the washing cycle. Detergent dispenser is not convenient to fill without spillage and interfering with the dispenser door locking mechanism. Rinse solution dispenser doesn't hold enough solution vis a vis the common quantity available in a bottle purchased. The filter assembly has a nasty habit of getting unseated either because of washing turbulence or temperature contaction cycles. I constantly have to assure that it stays properly in place. In the US dishwashers are deeper than in Europe although the width is the same. This dishwasher is therefore smaller and less convenient than the machine it replaced (this is important to USA users only).

General comments: Overall in spite of some negative comments I rate this Bosch Dishwasher machine excellent compared to the machine it replaced (a KitchenAid-manufactured by Hobart, not Whirlpool, in the USA). This machine has been extremely reliable with no need for repairs during my ownership to date. The main reason I purchased this machine seven years ago was for it's fantastic quietness, very important in small dwellings. Today, however, there may be better choices than the Bosch, I don't know, since I'm currently not in the market.
