Think Twice Before Buying Bosch

Bosch ovens used to be their best product but now that things are made offshore, meh...waste of money. Definitely stay well away from their dishwashers...they dont clean dishes and they break down all the time...always have. Interesting post.

I worked in the appliance industry many years ago, and used to know which brands to recommend. Nowadays it's hard to say, quality varies even within a brand name. Kitchenaid dishwashers were at one time far and away the best out there, then Whirlpool bought the brand and downgraded it and tries to market it (still at a premium price) based on what previously was a quality name brand.
Yet Whirlpool still makes a decent dishwasher in their mid priced models. It's enough to drive you crazy. Electrolux, formerly a high end vacuum cleaner brand, markets a line of appliances as premium quality, but they are just low end Frigidaire units with a premium name on them.
My opinion is that GE still overall makes decent kitchen appliances, particularly in their mid priced cooking appliances, yet I don't hear many good things about their high end products.

I think you just bought a lemon. I feel your pain, it can be very frustrating. We went through 3 Kenmore dishwashers in 5 years. We now have a top of the line Bosch, made in Germany. Great dishwasher!
