I wanted to buy a Bosch 6 years ago. Luckily I took my Fiesta Ware plate to try in the dishwasher because it didn't fit. It was too think for the tines that hold the plates. Would have been sad to have it installed and then find out. I bought a Whirlpool and have hated it for 6 years. It doesn't clean well. Currently looking at a GE because there was one in our rental beach house and it was great.
We just bought a Whirlpool fridge with a bottom freezer about 2 years ago and I love it, especially having the freezer on the bottom.
We have a KitchenAid dishwasher and I love, love, love it. I initially went in looking for a Bosch but as mentioned it was too small and did not have a heat dry. The KitchenAid cleans well. I’m a rinser out of habit but the rest of the family not so much. The dishes are always clean. Unless it’s draining you have to put your ear next to it to hear it running.
My refrigerator is a Samsung. My previous fridge (Whirlpool) went out after five years. This one was the style I wanted, on clearance and available to be delivered the next morning. Samsung gets a bad rap but *knock wood* it’s still going strong after seven years.
So I'm not the only one who went in for a Bosch but walked out with something else because of the ridiculous rack system in the Bosch with the tiniest of margins for plates? We returned to another KitchenAid, the third one we've installed between two houses in 25 years.
I just don't get it, not that many years ago Bosch had normal-sized plate racks. They have to realize it's costing sales. Two friends who own and love their Bosch did not believe me and decided to check it out for themselves. They both agreed that they could not buy a Bosch with the current plate rack situation.
