TIPS FOR BUYING A DISHWASHER
Before the tips, I have to tell you what happened to our old dishwasher. Some off-brand dishwasher, that came with our house. It caught on fire after several years! I always run my dishwasher to clean my dishes before I go to bed. One night my daughter (Sam) noticed a funny smell. I looked around the house and everything seemed fine. The windows were open so we just headed back to bed, thinking it was coming from outside. It was a campy smell and summer so we didn’t think much of it. But, the electrical panel on our dishwasher blew up and a fire started inside the dishwasher and we didn’t even know it! (ours was NOT a non-stainless steel tub)
Luckily the fire smothered in the dishwasher! It wasn’t until the next morning when we noticed that this tripped the breakers, we started to look around to figure out what happened…We replaced our dishwasher with a new dishwasher, opting to pay a bit more for certain features our previous dishwasher didn’t have.
Luckily, no other damage was done to our home. (true story) Where am I going with this? There are things to consider when buying a dishwasher, whether you are replacing an old dishwasher, remodeling, replacing a malfunctioning dishwasher or adding a dishwasher to a new home…

With the Bosch dishwasher, you can check the exterior Infolight® to know they’re on. New baby, so quiet! 44-dBA noise level rating Pick the right size – (smaller spaces 18″) (standard 24″)

Roll those racks! See how they glide. I love dishwashers that load and unload smoothly. Don’t you? My OLD DISHWASHER always popped off the tracks! (grr)
Bosch as the EasyGlide rack Features like aqua stop. Protect your floors.
Bosch has 24/7 Aquastop® this 4-part leak prevention system uses sensors to detect and stop leaks, and can even turn on by itself. (Nobody wants to mop up a leaky dishwasher, right?) Love to cook? Must have, rack options. One size doesn’t fit all.
