Good Dishwasher With One Flaw!
on August 8, 2016

Our BOSCH is the cheaper ASCENTA model SHX5AV52UC. It was on sale at Bestbuy.com for about $500. It has the same stainless steel tub and the same dish racks and control panel as the more model costing $200-$300 more. It's generally very quiet in operation. There's an early spray-then-drain at the beginning of the cycle which is more audible, but that's over pretty quickly and it's very reasonably quiet after that. It took us a couple of days to get used to how to load dishes in these racks. After that, no problem. We bought it because our previous Bosch dishwasher was also quiet and did a great job of cleaning everything including silverware. Haven't noticed water spots, either, but our method is to open the door a couple of inches and pull out the top rack a little to prop the door open. We do this after we hear the rather faint beep-beep-beep that signals the end of the cycle. In other words, this Bosch is a worthy replacement for our old one and it cleans even better than before. THERE IS ONE PROBLEM, however. It's that the door latching mechanism is a little imperfect. This is because the outer body of the dishwasher which surrounds the stainless steel tub is a kind of reinforced plastic. This saves on manufacturing cost as well as shipping weight. BUT, the upper lip of the body can flex upward slightly if your under-the-counter mounting location has the usual extra quarter-inch or so leeway for sliding the dishwasher into place. So, when you close the dishwasher door it clicks to latch but, because the top edge of the body can flex upward, the latch may not be perfectly secure. The result may be that the door latch moves slightly and the wash cycle simply stops after a few minutes. As we discovered, reinforcing the top edge of the opening fixes the problem and provides a nice firm click action when you close the door - problem solved. It was the clever, knowledgeable Mike's Appliance Repair in Puyallup, WA who handled the issue at no cost under warranty and knew exactly how to resolve the problem, so we give him full credit. If you want a more rigid body, pay around $300 more for all-steel construction! Otherwise, the $599 SHX5AV52UC will wash your dishes just as well as the more expensive model.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Low Power Consumption - Great for Laptops

Super low power draw and good perfromance across the board make this a great choice for ultrabooks, laptops and desktops. We bought ours elsewhere about 6 months ago and it's been perfect. Makes your computer feel quick and snappy. Samsung has earned a solid reputation for reliability, too. A fresh install of your operating system is recommended. However, if you wish to clone your existing Windows or iOS onto this new SSD, Samsung offers free software you can download from their website to handle cloning the drive. Or, download the free version of Macrium Reflect or Easeus ToDo software. Both of these offer other features, too, such as making backups of your files or your whole system. New models from Samsung will probably appear over the next few months, hence the price drop on these existing models. Tip: even if your computer is 6 or 8 years old it will definitely benefit in a huge way from installing this SSD.
What's great about it: Low power consumption and very good performance
What's not so great: If installing in a desktop tower you'll need an adpater to make it fit.
I would recommend this to a friend!
