I have a Bosch washer, BTW, which I am reasonably satisfied with.
do you know which model?
Same here.
I replaced our old dead Kenmore with a new Kenmore and promptly took it back the same day. I could have spit on the dishes and got them cleaner. It leaked too.
No issues with the Bosch. The little packets and rinse aid do well and we always use pots and pans mode because we don’t clean the dishes before we clean the dishes.
We have toddlers and have put artifacts in the dishwasher that could be classified as HAZMAT and they all come out just fine. A touch of bleach doesn’t hurt.
The one thing that we didn't know or find out until we owned it for a time was the reason the dishes didn't seem to dry well - there is no heater to dry them, just hot water and evaporation. No heater, safer for the environment, don't you know.
What year is your Bosch washer?
