Bosch : SHE55M15UC 24 Evolution 500 Series Full Console Dishwasher - Stainless Steel

Extremely quiet and cleans well
I bought this model to replace a prior bosch dishwasher that lasted 13 years of everyday use. This model does everything my last model did and more. I rarely do any pre-wash on the dishes and I have yet to have one come out dirty (same with my last bosch). To say this is quiet is an understatement. If there is any other noise in the room like a refrigerator or talking you will not hear this unit run (be sure to install the two bottom covers along with the noise insulation thats provided). Its very quiet. Lots of adjustments in the rack as well as height and many wash options. The front controls are a big plus and something I was looking for rather than the hidden. Most of the time I use the quick wash (approx 30 mins) and that is all thats needed. Plastics don't dry but that was the case with my old unit as well, everything else dries fine though. This was also the #1 ranked unit in CR beating out some much more expensive models. I am quite shocked by the poor reviews here as...

Problems and Bosch doesn't stand behind their product
We did a lot of research 15 months ago and selected this Bosch dishwasher. Consumer reports rated it high and the key drawbacks we saw were the smaller interior size compared to our previous dishwashers and the lack of a food "disposal" system. Many of the high efficiency washers have a filter basket that has to be removed periodically and cleaned out. That is the case with this one.

Shortly after our first use with the dishwasher we were smelling a lingering egg smell on the glassware. At first it was lingering and then it became strong and gross - like rotten eggs. We called Bosch. They told us to change detergents. Same problem. Talked to Bosch - they said we needed to turn our water heater temp up. Same problem. Talked to Bosch - we needed to remount the drain hose an extra 6 inches higher than the instructions stated. Same problem. Talked to Bosch - we should rinse our dishes better (what?!!). Same problem. Talked to Bosch - our water must be too hard...

Extremely Quiet, Washes Well. Capacity and Price May Be Factors.
We've had this dishwasher just over a year, and I'm writing this review now because we finally figured out how to get it to dry dishes once washed.

First, it replaced an excellent LG (which we gave to our kids) because the LG was white and there seems to be some sort of law that you can't have a white dishwasher with a stainless steel refrigerator or range. The LG was the quietest dishwasher we'd ever had, often having to check it to make sure we'd turned it on. Well, this Bosch is comparable. It is extremely quiet in all but the "drain cycle." That's to be expected, and even that is quiet, well, as quiet as the LG and quieter than out old old GE.

We required the buttons be on the outside of the door, NOT on top so that they disappear when the door is closed. Believe it or not, this cut our choices in half. Another issue was the handle. In a galley kitchen (or not), we would not have a dishwasher with a handle that sticks out - even if you could have another dish...
