My 3rd Bosch
I am on my third Bosch dishwasher. Each time I move I have replaced what is there with a Bosch. I am very happy with the performance of mine. I noticed an odor only once and it had something to do with the soap I was using. I am now using Cascade Complete and have no longer noticed an odor. Sorry to hear you don't like yours. I hope you like your double drawer. I hear people either love or hate them. I don't think it would work well for me because I wash lots of large pots and bowls. | ||

Kenmore Double Drawer Does anyone know who manufactures this machine for Kenmore? I looked at it in Sears the other day and was very impressed with it. Thanks! Scotty | ||

Double Drawer Sounds like an F&P dishdrawer. Daddoes loves his, the Australian ones however are still plagued with problems, namely the lid seal, and a psychotic water pressure sensor. | ||

The new Kenmore drawers are NOT sourced from F&P. As I understand, they are a new design developed by Maytag, initiated *before* the merge into Whirlpool, so Whirlpool gets the goodies as part of that deal, marketing them under the Kenmore Elite label. There are two trim-lines. Double-drawers are available in either a low-line or a higher-line feature set. Singles have the higher-line features, including a Sensor Wash cycle. Both have an "upper" spray (instead of just an arm beneath the rack), which appears to be mounted near the top at the rear of the drawer. The deluxe model has a rotating upper spray similiar to the auger-deflector in the James dishwasher. Rack configuration is different than F&P. The SaniRinse option reaches 154°F. F&P is higher on the Heavy cycle, hitting 163°F. F&P uses their variable-speed SmartDrive motor to run the pump for both recirculate and drain, which allows different spray pressures. Kenmore uses a traditional one-speed recirculation pump motor (with soil grinder/filtration), and separate drain pump/motor.

Hi Bob, As to the Bosch I can only say you will love it. Can`t say much about the particular model number, because Bosch seems to bring out hundrets of slightly different models every year. A picture would be very interesting. I have a Bosch myself and I am very pleased with it. It is super silent, cleans everything. It is the first DW I had, that even cleans pefectly in the corners of the upper basket, where the sprayarm doesn`t reach directly. As to people changing the subject, I think you`re a bit overreacting. I don`t think anybody does it deliberately and in my opinion it`s just a part of any normal conversation and can make a thread even more interesting. Please keep us informed about your new Bosch. | ||

Bob, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! for all the photos. Yuppers, that is quite an old one there, but WOW. It's good to see your studio. And I really am glad to see the sunny yellow westinghouse roll-out. I'd never seen one at all until I saw it when I was there in 2002. And I like your new look, slightly different than the last time I saw a pic of you--you handsome hot devil you. A gentle hug, Bob

Thank you Bob for sharing the pictures. This must be a pre-1994 machine because in that year the heat exchanger and the flow through water heater were introduced. I don't exactly remember when the tall tub models were introduced, but I'm sure that was after 1988. So, it must be from 1989 - 1993. The only odd thing is that it looks like it has three cycles (?) which would make this a 3000 model instead of a 2000 model. Hugs, Louis | ||

Bosch is the latest, greatest thing on the market around here (the dishwashers, not the washers).....they are very much in demand and all the dealers apparently are sold out.... | ||

Similar to 80's hotpoints!
Hi i regonise that style of dishwasher as similar to Hotpoint ones we had in the uk in the 80's and 90's and in fact both had a lot of siemens parts, i had one before up grading to an old Bendix , it had similar interior but with water softener. I got it at the rubbish dump for £5.00 in 2002 and ran it till last summer, it had started a little motor leak and the dteregent door did not always open automatically , incidently my old model was the one my cousin got in 1990 so it was getting on a bit. It worked very well and the only differnce the hotpoints had over bosh were a turn selector for wash temps, mine had rinse and hold,quick wash, economy 50, normal 65, intensive 65.

Detergent
hi Bob according to instructions as you would probably only use quick and economy washes for lightly solied loads you would use 15 cc of detergent 25 for medium and both or 40cc for normal to heavy soiled ie 65 + degrees wash. I always used a 3 in 1 tablet though and as i have soft water never used salt or rinse aid. I think you could put detergent in pre wash but as its meant to run on cold i don't know if it would do much. I never needed to and everything was clean. In my new "old" Bendix it has the older turn around dispenser and would hold a lot of detergent and has the option of a hot pre wash, but i now use P+G Fairy bursts all in one , and they are fantastic cleaning even well burnt stuff off.
