<p>We have a “bottom of the line” Bosch DW. It is approx. 6 mo. old. So far, it has been fine. We DID have the odor problem, which I had not read about until after our purchase. Still under warranty, we called both the installer and the company. The company said it was because of the tight seal and suggested we leave the door open a crack between washings. We thought it was an excuse, but tried anyway. Works like a charm! It does not look open. It simply needs a small amount of air instead of sealing it tightly. We did read that they were quiet, which we were not concerned about at first. However, now that we have it, we love it.
The inside racks are slightly smaller than many, but we needed the extra inch or two depth for installation purposes in our home. My only complaint is that the silverware tray is at the back of the bottom basket. When I’m looking for that special gadget that has not yet been washed, I need to open and pull out all the dishes. Front location is far more convenient. This is a very minor complaint for all the advantages over our old DW.</p>
