Bosch SHV7ER53UC 800 Plus 24" Custom Panel Fully Integrated Dishwasher - Energy Star

The lower rack and all the settings buttons drive me mad!!
I love Bosch appliances, reliable, great looking and long lasting. This dishwasher is the first one that I absolutely hate!
I own 2 of them and the older version SHV45 series is wonderful, it takes 2 pushes of the same button to turn it - all the settings are pre-set and ready to go. With the newer version, I have to push 3 buttons to make it work, every time, choosing the same setting. And they are not easy to push. Now, I know I sound like a truly spoiled character, since I have to do it 2 times a day, it is a rather an unpleasant experience.
I could live with all of this unnecessary button pushing, if it was not for the lower rack: on the older version the rack has 7 bars going across the bottom, which keep all the items neatly contained, however small. In a multiple kids household we go through a lot of glasses and bowls, not all of them fit on the upper rack. This current version, for some reason, had done away with 2 bars, leaving me with only 5 on the bottom. I...

Looks great but does not clean well
We have had this dishwasher for over a year now. We bought it because we liked the water and energy saving features, as well as the fact that the buttons are hidden when the door is closed. It is also super quiet. But by now we are quite disappointed with its performance. The energy saving cycle really did not produce clean dishes, so we are using the standard cycles now. But even those often leave cups and cutlery dirty, especially if they are placed too close to the corners of the rack. The design of the racks is quite aggravating. My old Miele never had any problems of this sort and I regret not having stayed with that brand.
