We have a Kitchen Aid D/W. Very satisfied, exceptionally quiet (I actually press my ear against it to verify that it's running). Can't compare it to Bosch as no experience with them.

Miele.

We love our Bosch.

Miele.

Miele with third rack and auto open drying.

I second the Miele w/third rack and auto open drying.

KitchenAid.

Bosch - this is my 2nd one and I love it!

Miele with the top utensil rack. My friends KA ruined his floor twice.

Bosch with the 3rd rack. 800 series I think. Super quiet.

Bosch all the way! Have had them problem free since the 80s. Had one KA and detested it.

Our Bosch would be perfect if the soap dispenser worked reliably. We had so many service calls that we just gave up. We were told not to use pods (didn't help), that you need to thoroughly dry the dispense before filling it (really? Also didn't help. We just throw the soap in the bottom, and it cleans very well and is quiet.

From what I’ve read, Miele and Bosch are considered the top 2 DW brands. My mom has Miele and loves it. I love the 3rd drawer on the Bosch versus the Miele 3rd drawer. The Bosch 3rd drawer seems like it can hold more than just silverware is what pushes me that direction.

We are getting all kitchenaid for our new home. We are getting a package deal and like all of the appliances so will just go with it.

I had Bosch, never again. Just after 4 yrs we had problems with getting clean dishes, not dryer no properly and even foggy glassware. We tried different detergents as well. But who knows, maybe it won’t be the case with other models,

I am going with Whirlpool. It seems to have a good reliability record, and is inexpensive. And if it does break down... It is something I can take over myself and accomplish with no hassle. ;)

Love my Bosch. So quiet! If not for the red light (which I find adorable) showing it is on, I really would not hear it. Noises bother me and mine is almost undetecable to hear when it is running. It cleans well too. And dries perfectly even on the Eco mode (1 hr 25 min cycle). I read lots of reviews about my dishwasher before purchasing. Good luck!

We have a Kitchenaid that the previous owners had installed, and I don't care for it. The pump has been been replaced once, and it sounds like it's dying again. Control panel is touchy and locks up frequently (I have to unplug it to reset it). We always have to double check the top rack with a wiggle and gentle extra push or else the door leaks. I've had a Whirlpool and a GE in past homes, neither I'd consider great brands, and the Kitchenaid has been the biggest disappointment.

Had a Bosch in old house and loved it. Currently in a rental house with a kitchenaid and hate it. New house will have Bosch.

We just put in a Kitchenaid in our new house and we love it so far. Our previous house had an Asko, which cleaned well but plasticware never dried, which drove me crazy. I had heard that was more common in the European brands. I will say our KA is extremely quiet, cleans very well and our plastic (tupperware) comes out drier.

Look in person and check the size. I stayed American because I could fit more in! Might not be your concern.
