re: kitchen high end appliances really suck

I don't get the fascination with Bosch.

their diswashers are pretty good and quiet.

another true story: the house we are about to sell came with a bottom-of-the-line bosch dishwasher and the wife fussed because of the 'clickity' punch buttons on the front to change settings and make it start.

my work office has 6 bosch dishwashers..the REALLY NICE ones. i know they probably get more use but every time i'm in the office there are at least 1 or 2 with 'out of order' signs on them.

my takeaway: that bottom-of-the-line bosch we have is all mechanical and the fanciers ones with more LED screens and touch-tone buttons create way more opportunities for failure.

someone said it early in the thread: with appliances 'luxury <> better products'; the simple ones with mechanical parts which make up the low-end tier instead are the ones that will just do their damn job for a long time without expensive repairs.

and where the hell is napoleon. we need him to enter this thread and give us a breakdown of which speed queen models to avoid. i'm in the market.
