My relatively new Bosch (about 2.5 years old) cleans better than any dishwasher I can remember having. And it's near-silent, too.

New models can be good!

Yeah I think Bosch is the better choice. What model?

I got the 500 version based on this article from Wirecutter. Works well, but does require that we leave the door open for a while to let the plastic dry. Silent though. Most of the time, I can only tell it is running by the light on the ground.

I _just_ ordered a Bosch 500 series because my (barely 4 year old) GE model died over the weekend. I was told by a friend who owns the same Bosch model that they go through a lot of Jet Dry, though... But if it actually cleans well and doesn't break in a few years I'll be happy.

Had mine 6 years. It doesn't "need" the jet dry, but it certainly helps.

Also just bought the same model, hoping to replace a terrible Whirlpool.

Whatever Bosch you get, avoid the ones with membrane buttons for the controls. I have one and it is horrible. The lettering is completely worn off, the buttons are not sensitive, and you have to keep pressure on them for more than a second to register your touch.

They have otherwise nearly identical models with physical buttons. If I were buying it over again, I would definitely get one of those.
