Last year, we finally replaced ours. Its performance had slowly degraded over the last couple years and my frustration with it finally won out. We finally settled on a Bosch. The one we picked was in the upper-mid range of their offerings. It's very efficient from a power and water standpoint and does a really nice job of cleaning our dishes. Most importantly, it's insanely quiet, to the point that I can't always tell that it's running, even when I'm standing next to it. In our small bungalow, that's huge. Our old one, despite the fact that it could hold a ton of dishes and had the best rack layout of any washer I've had in a home, sounded like a jet at takeoff. You could clearly hear it behind closed doors at the farthest point in the house when it was running. We managed to catch the Bosch on sale at Lowes which made it far more palatable at the time, although we were still a bit hesitant. Compared to what we could have gotten for the same money, we're very pleased with the purchase and feel like we got very good bang for our buck. Please don't ask me about the installation though. The installation was a nightmare. That's not a reflection on the washer, BTW, but rather the incompetence of the contractor that remodeled the home well before we purchased it. I literally had to cut the old washer into pieces to remove it and I'm pretty sure some of the things I had to do to the new one in order to make it fit into the opening voided the warranty on it in a major way. Thankfully, it in no way affected the functionality or performance of the washer. LOL...
