It ain't all that great given the price tag (for them), great for us. The one thing I don't like about it is the valves open and close super fast and water hammer the shit out of our pipes. I installed hammer arrestors shortly after getting it but I've noticed it's starting to do it again, so I might have to replace them. View Quote I was a bit surprised to see an arrestor on my dishwasher supply line. I need some for my lawn sprinklers. Funny how a little thing can make a big difference. |

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you’re capable of great violence.
If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful, you’re harmless. |

Doesn't make Bosch the end all be all for dishwashers any more though (there was a time that was certainly true). |

The Bosch does not have one visible like Roberta did, but there is a sanitize cycle and I would imagine for optimal cleaning even with varying incoming water temps in different houses, there must be a sensor and heating element to ensure targets are met to do the job right. |

View Quote The heater I use for my aquarium sits in the line from the external pump and senses the temperature and heats the water going through it as opposed to an element sitting in the tank - seems like the only way to do it without the visible element in the washer. |
