We've had a Bosch for several years and have never had a problem.  Dishes come out PERFECT!  Before we got the Bosch, we had a few different kinds; one was a Maytag.  No other dishwasher did as good a job as our Bosch!

Call me crazy, but I have not used my dishwasher in years, I actually enjoy washing and drying my dishes on my own, just 2 of us so only takes a short time and I am done. The one I have is a Whirlpool. 


I only use it when I'm doing my cabinet cleaning..Once in awhile just so the hoses don't dry out.

We bought another Bosch when we moved here 10 years ago.  It is in a kitchen/living area and I can sit 15 feet from it and not hear it running.  We have had no trouble with it.

 

If you are anywhere near the dishwasher when it is running, get a quiet Bosch.  Different models have different decible ratings--so I'd check that out.

 Whatever you do, don't buy a Samsung!


No LG or Samsung for us!!  Our repair man will not even service those brands.  Parts are extremely pricey if you can find them.

The Maytag dishwasher we bought, when we built our house 25 years ago never worked right from the get-go. Wouldn't dispense the rinse aid and the technician couldn't figure out why.  Even though it wasn't even a year old and under warranty we were told we'd have to "live with it".

 

When it died prematurely, I bought a Bosch (the brand I always had in England).  It's now 18 years old and still works as well as it did the day we had it installed.

 

If it decides to pack up after all these years, I'll buy another Bosch.

 

Same with our lousy, top-of-the-line Maytag washer that turned out to be part of a class-action lawsuit that we weren't told about by the salesman.  And then we were told we were out of time to file.  Replaced that with a Bosch front-load washer about the same time as the dishwasher.  Still works perfectly.

 

No repairs on either appliance in all these years.  I'd rather pay more and have something that lasts.

 

Every time I saw those stupid ads for the "lonely Maytag repairman" I'd shout at the tv that he could come fix our crappy machines!

Love the Bosch dishwashers we have at home, small business and DS's home.  They are the best and quiet as a mouse.

I have had just about brand of dishwasher out there.  Ours runs at least twice a day, so we use them hard.

 

Normally, we need them repaired twice a year and replace them about every five years.

 

Right now I have a GE Profile.  It's about six years old and has never needed service.  It's the best we have ever had...and it cleans very well.

 

If your current dishwasher lasted 10 years, that's a longtime for a dishwasher.  Why would you want to entertain a different brand?

Nothing compares to a Bosch.  Worth every penny.

I love my Bosch! I had a GE last time and, in a year's time, had to repair it three times. When the repair costs finally were higher than a replacement, I did some research and decided on Bosch. The company here that sells this brand also repairs them, if needed. That's a big plus for me. We have one very reputable appliance repair company here and they stay busy. Our Lowe's sells LG and Samsung and I was told by a repairman to never get those brands. I don't know their reason, just taking them at their word. I'm guessing it's a parts issue. Good luck, I hope you find the perfect dishwasher for you!

Love my Whirlpool. I like the stainless steel interior, too. I've had it about 3 years. No problem but one-the rack broke. They were Johnny on the Spot when they came with a new one. I forget what they said happened. No charge. Made in USA!
