I just unloaded my dishwasher and was frustrated for the billionth time that everything on the top rack is always still wet (as in dripping) at the end of the cycle. Do the dishwashers you are all recommending have everything DRY at the end? Seems like that would be a given but I have been living with this one for so long I've lost perspective. I've had at least three previous dishwashers and never had this much of an issue with water left over. I know there might be some residual water (in lids, etc.), but seriously I have to unload the entire top rack of my dishwasher onto my counter to finish drying and it is ridiculous! Then again, not sure if it's worth replacing when the dishes are clean and it's nothing a towel or some time air-drying doesn't fix. Anyway, just saw this thread and wanted to ask.
Here is a link about the Bosch dishwashers.

We went with a Bosch that was about $700 at Lowes. I have put a dried on lasgna pan in there and it comes spotlessly clean. Very impressed with the performance.
The draw backs: It smelled like chemicals the first month of use and it often has an unfresh smell even after just running the dishes.
It does not have a "clean" button so we have to put a magnet on so we will remember there are clean dishes in it. Our much cheaper dish washers all had a "clean" light so that was a surprise.
So while we like it, it could use some improvements.
springandmac said:I just bought a Bosch too - mine smells like something died inside. We don't dirty a lot of dishes so it's several days before we run it. However, it smells so bad that we have to hold our breath to load it after a few days of sitting.
We went to Lowes to let them know and they gave us some dishwasher disinfectant to try and told us some bs about it may have a stale smell when it was run and tested at the factory.
Yes. We've had a Bosch for at least 7-8 years now and haven't had a single problem with it. It still looks and runs like new. My favorite part? I can't even hear it. Love that.
