Bosch 800 Series 24 In. White Recessed Handle Built-In Dishwasher

Mixed feelings
I have owned this unit for 6 months. My prior dishwasher was a name brand that washed well for about 10 years but was very, very loud. So when it was replacement time, my desires were for a quiet dishwasher.
The GOOD: This unit is very quiet. Even in a quiet room I have to be close to the unit to actually hear that it is running. The unit has an internal filter that needs to be hand cleaned; I find that this is acceptable.
The NOT SO GOOD: The literature shows fully packed racks of dishes, but I now notice that all the dishes illustrated are very flat. The rack design is very poor for the type of dishes that I use; deep bowls and larger glasses. None of my dishes fit securely into the racks. The rack bottoms are not flat and the tines all seem to be too close together and too tall. The silverware baskets are also strangely shaped and long cooking spoons fit poorly into the basket. I am not able to wash as many dishes in this unit as I was with my old unit. The unit...

Quiet, cleans well but small capacity
I bought this to replace an aging GE. Our house has an open floor plan design and the dishwasher is located about 7' feet away on the opposite side of bar from where we sit to watch TV. We always had to crank up the volume when running the dishwasher so we were looking for a quite one. The salesman said we would be able to stand next to it while it was running and not hear it. That is an exaggeration but the Bosch is definitely quiet and we don't have to crank up the volume on the TV when it's running. It also cleans well and unlike some other reviewers I've not had a problem with wet dishes except for plastic dishes and containers and it's no worse drying those than our old machine. I do use the recommended Jet rinse so I don't know how well it would dry without it.

Now for the negative stuff. I knew going in that the capacity would be smaller than our old dishwasher but I didn't think it would be as small as it was. It seems to have about half the capacity of our old...

AGGRAVATION!!
Caveat to anyone wishing to keep their AGGRAVATION level down: NEVER, EVER buy a Bosch appliance. This company does not stand behind their products, from Day#1, under-warranty, of ownership. 18 months ago, we bought their top-of-the-line dishwasher that performs worse than a bottom-line budget special. Bosch has refused, from the first day, to acknowledge any problems; going so far as to doctor their repair records, of which we have an un-doctored copy, to redact service techs' comments regarding non-performance of the product. It has been like dealing with a fly-by-night, street-corner hawker, who disappears after the sale is made. Each time we call to report that the machine is still not working properly, they ask us all the same questions again, tell us perhaps we do not know how to load the dishwasher, are using the wrong detergent, is it connected with a garbage disposal unit, etc.; none of which is true. Every repairman has checked water pressure, temperature, detergent, if...
