When installed, the serviceman told me not to overfill liquid detergent because the dishes won't get clean and you must use the rinse aid in order for the dishes to be clean. Bosch would not have fit under our kitchen counter due to height. If you are interested in Bosch, make sure you have enough room under counter.I really like the KitchenAid for several reasons. 1) I love the stainless steel look... Modern and clean. 2) It is extremely quiet (50 db) just like the Bosch and Miele. 3) It has an automatic food grinder at the bottom of the unit. Unlike the Miele and Bosch which have filter system and you sometimes have to clean out the food yourself. 4) The KitchenAid is a larger unit than the Miele and still has the same number of racks. Just like the Miele, it has an extra rack for utensils (in case of parties, etc). 5) It has heating element that Bosch and Miele (dry manually) do not.Extended warranty is worth the money. Also, the KitchenAid is American-made and the parts will be easier and quicker to get than the European-made models (Miele and Bosch).The only small problem I have had is that some of the utensils have had food on them after the cycle was completed. The basket has little holes for you to insert each utensil in. I think the one or two spoons were too close together in the basket. The Bosch was about the same price but I was really concerned about the drying. The Miele is top of the line but smaller and is basically the same. All in all, I feel that the KitchenAid is an excellent dishwasher for the money!!
