My old dishwasher was starting to be more problems than it was worth, and the latest repair bill would have been over $300 ... so new dishwasher it was. After reading several hundred (!) online reviews, I went with the Bosch Ascenta dishwasher. Regularly it retails for $949 but was on sale for $699. Best money I've spent in a long time. My dishes are so ridiculously clean, it's like I've stood at the sink scrubbing for a long time. It's whisper quiet and I love the idea of the stainless steel tub. Great product!
