Just Giddily Happy With Our Bosch Dishwasher
Pros
This is a good dishwasher, in a deep sense of the term.
Cons
A little bit more expensive than the standard American crap, I guess.
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
Bosch has already achieved the kind of forward-thinking, clever design that the rest of the world badly needs to catch up to. They make great machines.
Like everybody else here apparently, we read tons of online reviews before we decided to spend the extra money to get a Bosch, and we're really happy we did. So this review, in a way, is a compilation of all the other reviews we read about the Bosch brand, so if you want to save yourself some time, just read this review and get a Bosch.
The main thing is, they are designed very cleverly, in a way that things should have been designed all along, and in a way that we will all have to be thinking about smart design, energy efficiency and water conservation in the future. If Bosch's standards were the norm in all industrial design, cars would last a lot longer, appliances would be cleverly designed to save energy and we would have not squandered as many resources as we did in the whole postwar industrial period. But I guess that's another story, all past history.
So let's talk about the future. In the future, we'll need cleverly designed machines that will capitalize on the already-present heat of the hot water used to wash the dishes ... to dry the dishes through evaporative condensation. And not through pumping megawatts of electricity into heating coils to bake your dishes dry. In the future we'll need intelligently designed technology that samples the turbidity of the water as the wash cycle is progressing to determine how clean the dishes are getting and estimate whether another rinse cycle is necessary, or if some water can be saved by skipping it. In the future we'll have dishwashers that come equipped with particle-mesh screens that capitalize on the inherent heat and water flow inside the machine to break down and remove food particles ... and not install an energy-intensive and subject-to-breakdown electrical grinding motor in there to suck up energy. In the future all dishwashers will be this quiet, and this much fun to operate. Yes -- fun. Seriously, this thing is so well designed that it is a pleasure all its own to load it up, turn it on, and watch it silently and efficiently do its thing.
So we are impressed, and we are glad this thing is made in America (Huntington Beach, CA), but we wish it was good old American know-how and yankee ingenuity that came up with this wonderful piece of engineering. But, naturlich, it was the Germans, and hooray for them, but it does make us wonder why Americans only make crappy huge SUVs and Hummers while the rest of the world is turning their attention to hybrids and electric cars, and why American industrial output is still mired in a fantasy world of limitless resources, cheap energy, and planned obsolescence. I wish American industrial know-how was coming up with stuff as clever and efficient and just plain futuristic, in every sense of the word, that Bosch has alread invented.
