Our Bosch dishwasher is absolutely incredible. Hands down best appliance I've ever owned.

Bosch household appliances aren‘t built by Bosch but BSH [1] instead. (They are still great)

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSH_Hausgeräte

But BSH is a direct child company of Bosch, you can even get those products for a discount as a (automotive) Bosch employee. Most Bosch divisions are separate child companies.

It's just that BSH is very small part of Bosch compared to the automotive parts of Bosch.

My too dishwashers are pretty good too. Ive had them for ages, since I was born.
All appliances have problems. E.g.

In 2009, Bosch issued a voluntary recall on certain model dishwashers that could overheat and pose a fire risk to consumers. In 2013, a second global recall was issued and covered more than five million machines. https://www.classaction.org/bosch-dishwasher-fire

But 2013 was so long ago in Internet years, wasn't it?

We own a Bosch dishwasher. We bought it knowing about their previous problems, because it was very quiet. The only thing I dislike about it is it insists on beeping every 10 minutes after completing a load. STFU, I know the dishes are clean!!!

Ironically, our previous non-Bosch dishwasher caught fire. Literally.

Wish they took a page from Peopleware and make a softer buzz. The authors insisted everybody at the office put cotton over their office phones so they are not jarring each time they ring.
