I once had a Bosch dishwasher in a condo that I purchased in the mid 2000s. The control board had a tendency to go bad every few years and flood the kitchen. I had read this was because the board was originally designed for European voltages and certain connections couldn't handle NA current over time. The first time it happened coincided with the birth of my first child. Getting back from the hospital with warped flooring was not a pleasant discovery. Bosch seems like a bit of luxury brand, although I've had some Bosch power tools that have worked out great.
