My new bosh dishwasher does clean better and is quieter compared to prior bosh, that had to be replaced at the 7 year mark. This one is far more plastic and I expect it to last only 3-5 years.

The problem with plastic is that plastic != plastic.

Some plastics last forever, others don’t. There’s no way to tell without buying one and seeing if the parts self destruct or not.

With metal it’s simpler, it just lasts.
