We have had our Bosch - Evolution Ascenta 24" for about a month. The removal of our old dishwasher and installation of the new one was very fast 15 to 20 minutes tops. The installers were very courteous and neat.
There is a small learning curve with the dishwasher to get the best results and reading the manual is a must.
Pros: - Much quieter then our previous dishwasher - Cleans dishes very well, we only use the auto setting with cascade pods and jet. - Easily held the dishes for a dinner party of 12 (pots and pans were another load) - Reading the manual on how to properly use the silverware holder was a great help and provided much cleaner silverware then our previous dishwasher. - The little flip down shelves on the upper rack are great for small items like sippy cup tops, large knives, or spoons.
Cons: - No hot air dry if you open it up as soon as it is finished, your dishes will be hot and wet. Our work around for this is to wash the dishes at night and take them out the next morning. Everything is dry except for items that catch water like cup bases.(one good thing no more melted plastic containers or lids) - On off button is a little sticky and has a cheap feel when you push it. - If dishes sit in the dishwasher for a few days you get a funky smell. Work around is if your not going to do a load, is to make sure you rinse the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, - The tines on the racks are close together. It took a little time with the help of the manual to figure out the best pattern for loading the various dishes - Bottom of dishwasher is plastic not stainless. Only time will tell how it holds up.
Summary: With one month of use we are very happy with this dishwasher and would recommend it.
