Anyone have any comments on repair historys and support? I am about to

the plunge and want to get any last minute thoughts on their reliability

Thanks



While you are at it, I would love to hear from Bosch dishwasher owners
whether the strainer-basket is a nuisance?

I understand that Kitchen-Aid has a traditional food particle grinder to
get
rid of chunks but the Bosch has a basket which needs to be cleaned out
from
time to time.

The salesman I was speaking with said that is why the Bosch can be so
quiet,
no food grinder.

Is the basket-strainer cleaning a hassle?

Not at all--takes a few seconds a couple times a month. Salesmen seem to use
this as
"negative" but in fact, it is preferable to a grinder. The grinder is loud
and eventually
clogs with particles and is hard, if not impossible to clean. I had a
Kenmore with a grinder
and will never have another DW with one. With the Kenmore, there was no way
to clean
the grinder after it began depositing food particles back on my dishes.
