Comment:
We bought this at Lowe's after reading the ratings and reviews here on Consumer Reports and other websites. <br /><br />Installation was straight forward and pretty easy if you have installed a DW before. Like most installation instructions today, it's just a bunch of drawings and sometimes are not real clear. Very little text, and in this case, words would have be worth a thousand pictures.<br /><br />The one con is the rear leveling screw. There is no adjustment for the rear foot from the front, and it is a pain in the patootie to have to pull the DW out of the cabinet to adjust, then slide back in, check for level and do it all again. Also the adjusters need to be a half to one inch longer. Thus the loss of a star.<br /><br />Overall though, we are very satisfied with our purchase. It is quiet, cleans exceptionally well and has plenty of room for all the dishes we generate in a day, family of 5. We see a big difference in the glassware in just 2 weeks and do not have food particles on flatware and dishes. Did I say it was quiet? Our kitchen is open to the family and we can run the DW and not have to turn up the TV to hear any more.

Comment:
We use a dishwasher for all dish cleaning chores. This washer cleans everything we can figure out how to load very well and it is quiet. It is very hard to load effectively. I literally put the suggested loading instructions on the fridge beside it to help us load. It doesn't accomodate pots and pans or large bowls very well. The upper rack doesnt handle larger glasses very well either. Most of our dishes, glasses and pots seem to be the wrong side. I would not buy this brand again.

Comment:
Got lucky because my old Bosch died when there was a great sale at Lowes and free installation and they had this in stock. I read reviews that said this model had odd racks, so I kept the old ones and they fit and work great.<br /><br />We use the Finish tablets that come in a wrapper; the installer said that the tablets without a wrapper where the plastic dissolves can gum up the machine. <br /><br />I was worried because some of the reviews said dishes don't come clean, but we have not had any issues. We make sure the water is hot before starting a load and use rinse agent and everything comes out great. Very happy.
