We have a 2001 Bosch dishwasher and have had no problems with it at all. As
others have said is so quite that you can't always tell that it is running.
I still often open it to put something in not knowing that it's running. We
also have one with the controls on the edge, but ours does not automatically
restart like Billy's does. The only problem we had is that our house is a
1919 craftsman and the kitchen cabinets were too low and too shallow to
install the dishwasher. I had to build an enclosure/cabinet next to the
stove to install it.
Speaking of the stove, we had to replace ours two years ago when the circuit
board failed. It failed in a scary way. We had what the manual referred to
as a Run Away Oven. The oven would just heat consciously with not
temperature regulation anytime it was plugged in to the outlet. Re replaced
it with an LG convection oven that Susan loves.
One word about glass cook tops. If you use your stove to can anything you
will want to make sure the one you get is rated for that. Not all of them
are due to the way the heating element works and cools under the glass top.
You will also need to get a special flat bottom water bath (hard to find but
out there) as most are concave and won't work.

OK, the dishwasher crapped out and since all the other appliances are
getting along in years, we're going to spring for a new fridge, range,
over the range micro and trash compactor. We've pretty much settled on a
Bosch dishwasher but while doing research I find the same thing on just
about every brand (including Bosch). There's so many online complaints
about each brand it's tough to decide which one is any good. I
subscribed to Consumer Reports online to read their reviews and even the
ones they recommend are followed by a bunch of online reviewers
complaining about problems. Are they all a crapshoot as far as getting a
good appliance or has anyone been consistently happy with the
performance of one brand over another? We don't mind paying for a
quality product, but on the other hand we're not in the Sub-zero,
Viking, etc camp. Any recommendations?
No Lucas refrigerator jokes, please and don't tell me what you have that's
lasted 20 yrs. They don't make 'em like that anymore
