It is more energy efficient than my previous Kitchen Aid.<br \/>2.  It is extremely quiet.<br \/>3.  It gets the dishes sparkling clean.<br \/>4.  You don&#8217;t have to worry about plastic melting if placed on bottom rack.<br \/>5.  The upper rack is adjustable to two levels to accommodate taller items.<br \/>6.  Both the upper &amp; lower racks have adjustable prongs which is nice for handling   odd size items.<br \/>7.  Full stainless steel interior tub (including door).  Door exterior is black.<\/p>\n<p>Things I am still getting used to:<\/p>\n<p>1.  It seems to take longer to run a complete cycle (135 minutes).  It has a <br \/>countdown timer.  This doesn&#8217;t really matter, since we generally only run one<br \/>(sometimes two) loads\/day.<br \/>2.  It does not get the dishes as dry as my Kitchen Aid did.  You can increase the drying time (which I did), but they still are not fully dry. It is probably the reason that plastic doesn&#8217;t melt on bottom rack&#8230;it has a lower drying temp. Since we do not (generally) immediately remove the clean dishes, they do tend to fully dry from air\/evaporation.<br \/>3.  It does not seem to hold as many dishes as the Kitchen Aid.<br \/>4.  It does not have a built in disposer.  It does have a filter\/trap which they <br \/>recommend emptying once a month (or as needed).<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion (to date):<\/p>\n<p>I am happy with this dishwasher.  It is quiet and does a very good job of getting the dishes sparkling clean.  As I mentioned before, I will never buy a Kitchen Aid dishwasher again because of what I consider a manufacturing defect and the subsequent &#8220;brush-off&#8221; that their customer service gave me.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe SRC=\"http:\/\/ad.doubleclick.net\/adi\/N7433.148119.BLOGGEREN\/B6533667.96;sz=300x600;ord=[timestamp]?;lid=41000613802463918;pid=55148;usg=AFHzDLsWD6DQlC0EzQ6jvRMUI5JLa-iP9Q;adurl=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.abt.com%252Fproduct%252F55148%252FBosch-SGE63E15UC.html;pubid=633780;price=%24929.00;title=Bosch+24+%22+Evolution+Series+Stainless+Steel+Built-In+Dishwasher+-+SGE63E15UC;desc=14+Place+Setting+Capacity%2F+Stainless+Steel+TallTub%2F+Red+Remaining+Time+Display%2F+49+dBA%2F+6+Wash+Cycles+And+5+Options%2F+Sanitize+Option%2F+Variable+Spray+Pressure%2F+ActiveTab+Tray%2F+Water+Softener%2F+AquaStop+Plus+4-Part+Leak+Protection+Works+24%2F7%2F+Multi-Functio...;merc=Abt+Electronics+%26+Appliances;imgsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fcontent.abt.com%2Fmedia%2Fimages%2Fproducts%2Fl_SGE63E15SS.jpg;width=175;height=250\" WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=600 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 HSPACE=0 VSPACE=0 FRAMEBORDER=0 SCROLLING=no BORDERCOLOR='#000000'\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, as I mentioned in my earlier post&#8230;I have a few comments about our new Bosch dishwasher.
