Dishwasher- Kitchenaid v Bosch

Several years ago I debated the same two brands in the same upper-not highest price bracket. Take some dishes to the store and see how they fit. I found the Bosch with its close together and angle of spikes did not allow me to fit my cereal bowls the way I can with the K Aid one I bought. Could not have filled it with as many dirty dishes. I do like the top 3rd rack- we put spoons on one side and forks on the other instead of using the below containers- easy for H to unload (I’m the one who rearranges to get the most use of space). Having the second rack high enough for dinner plates (Corelle) on the first level means not enough room for stemmed wine glasses because of the third rack- worth having though.

To get a quieter dishwasher the filter becomes manual- no grinder noises. Since we run ours only every four days or so I rinse off particulates so I don’t have to unclog the filter. Likewise we rinse milk products to avoid the odor. Yes, rinsing too much off is not good as the wash sensors need the stuff to know to clean enough. But- I also rinse off sticky rice and oatmeal that dries on and sticks. That’s our tradeoff for not running a nearly empty dishwasher every day.

Had to have service done once when a broken glass chip ruined something. Need to watch those glasses so they don’t fall and break. Also drying does not completely work (despite Quantum Finish with the rinse aid) on plastic cups and containers- tops wet. No dishwasher is perfect, sigh.

Both will be quiet for same decibel level but do be sure you can max out the placement of your commonly used dirty dishes. And figure out how often you will run it and deal with particles that fill a filter.
