Boschs SHE55M16UC 24-in Evolution 500 series under counter dishwasher features 5 wash cyles and 3 options, triple filtration system, OptiDry for spotless drying results and much more!
The dishwasher arrived well packaged on a pallet. Installation was pretty easy. This machine is so quiet you can barely hear it run and it does an excellant job of cleaning. Glasses come out sparkling. It will remove 99.9% of baked on food. We put a crock pot in it after cooking a roast and in had baked on residue that you couldn't scrspe off with a spoon and it came out with a very small amount remaining. Might have come out perfect if we used the power scrub cycle. We are a family of two but it may be a little small for larger families. Abe's price was the best I could find anywhere. This replaced a 1989 Jenn Aire and cleans much better. We also like the tablet type detergent dispenser. The top rack is easy to adjust and the door stays where you put it. We are very satisfied with this dishwasher.

This Bosch replaced an 18 year old Kenmore that still worked but was very noisy. The bosch is extremely quiet, emiting only a low hum and muted water movement sounds. Installation was pretty straight forward. The unit came packed very well. You do have to press the power on/off switch to reset the unit prior to running a new cycle.

Nice unit, washes well, extremely quiet when operating, uses very little detergent and water, seemingly water and energy efficient but it's too new for me to verify that claim. On the downside, cycles are very long (on the order of two hours for a normal load setting), the manual says you need to use rinse agent for best drying performance (works well so far with it, but out las dishwasher didn't require this extra expense). Also, as for capacity, this is advertised as a large unit with room for 14 place settings but the interior seems much smaller than our old Kitchen Aid Quiet Scrub, the tines are closely spaced limiting the ability to nest mostly all of our everyday medium sized bowls, and while there are options to fold down tines to accomodate larger items this simply further decreases the amount of items we can load because they need to be laid flat. Overall it's a nice unit and we'll get used to the loading and capacity issues, I just wasn't expecting it to be so much smaller than what we replaced. On Abe's, their price was unbeatable and the delivery was fast and safe even with the lowest free shipping option.

We run our dishwasher twice a day, so efficiency was very important to us. We love how quiet it is and sometimes can't even tell it is running. The racks could use a redesign as they are set up for smaller plates than we own.

We did our homework before purchasing a new dishwasher, which included Consumer Reports, where this dishwasher was the highest rated in its class. We were initially leaning towards a GE Profile to match a couple of other appliances in our kitchen; however, they were rated poorly on Consumer Reports and other sites. The dishwasher was easy to install, and has a large capacity on the bottom shelf. The adjustable utensil basket is also a plus.

Replaced 10 year old Jenn-Air. Design simple and straightforward - almost too simple. Sorta wished for more feedback and wash options. The tradeoff is true whisper quiet operation. We can easily run a load and watch TV 15 feet away with no distraction. Overall, very good. No bells and whistles but good solid functionality. Durability yet to be seen.

Installation issues: The water and power connect at the bottom front of the unit, which is convenient, but requires a longer run than I had for both water and electrical. Be prepared to replace/extend both. This was my first dishwasher install, which I found straight forward. Dishwasher arrived on time and well packaged. Overall, a good product, which so far works as advertised.
