In the category of custom panel dishwashers, there are few options available. In past years, even with Bosch appliances you started at the $1000 price point to get a panel ready machine. The competitors started at $1300. I've installed 3 of this new generation Bosch dishwashers, and while it does seem like lighter duty construction than it's predecessors and competition, I've yet to have any complaints in it's functionality. The speed 60 wash is fantastic- rinse your plates close to clean, and they are in and out in 70 mins. At an $800 price point, the price of this machine makes it easier for me to sell the custom panels at a price that keeps me out of the red, and keeps the customer happy. I put one of these in my own kitchen, and I'm very pleased. I'd prefer the blue LED glow of the service indicator as seen on the Viking and Asko units, but at the end of the day given the price point of the Bosch, it's a small thing to overlook. The functionality of the racks is acceptable. I miss the days of old, where racks on high end machines didn't wobble around- but it seems like a tall order today to find a machine with runners that don't wobble. Perhaps it is an issue of functionality? Despite the seemingly wobbly racks on this Bosch and other high end panel ready units, the cleaning performance is still excellent. At the end of the day, I think this machine is a really good buy.

The dishwasher is very quiet when operating. Controls are good. The dishes come out very clean. The claim to remove backed on material is not true (as anticipated), The red indicator light (shining down to the floor) is a useful when it is had to tell if the machine is running.
