Drying dishes seems to be harder than cleaning them
In the last two "modern" dishwashers I have bought, neither would dry worth a damn. The first was a Frigidaire Gallery Professional. It included a fan, but the placement of the fan and the very low power of the fan did not exhaust enough steam out of the unit to make a difference. I had to open the door to achieve results. My current kitchenaids do not have a fan. The vent is on the side of the door. It does not allow enough natural airflow for the dishes to dry. I have to open the door during the dry cycle twice to let the steam escape.
Without trying them to know for sure, I would probably go for a new Maytag with a front vent. My thinking is there is less airflow restriction in those. | ||

GE would be an option, still seem to have heated drying. See this thread:

Honestly
I don't think I could ever recommend installing a Bosch dishwasher in a rental unit. The requirement to keep refilling the jet dry container to achieve drying performance would NEVER be up kept.
I would anticipate nothing but complaints from your renters with a Bosch. I am not saying the Bosch is a bad machine. Far from it. But it does demand ownership of understanding that you won't find in the rental market. Malcolm | ||

I don't know of a bosch that dries
They do clean pretty well however. My friend put one in her kitchen and we actually did a "cake washing party" where we filled the dishwasher with a mixture of clean and dirty dishes, and about 3/4 of a sheet cake (because hey - that's what they advertised). Everything got clean and there was no cake re-deposited anywhere.
HOWEVER, if drying is important, I don't know of a Bosch that is up to the task (but someone can correct me if I am wrong). My friend has had several table knives rust because she didn't open the door before the next day. | ||

I looked at this on line
Looks like a Bosch.
My Dad's Bosch has the same or similar racks and spray arms. CLICK HERE TO GO TO toploader55's LINK | ||

Bosch, and "Eco-Fied" Energy Star Rigged Machines..  Rely heavily on Thermal Heat, and Rinse Aid (Alcohol & Alkaline Surfactants) to cause what's called a "Sheeting Action" that literally makes all the water & droplets, sheet off, and flash dry. Not only does this save electricity, but, I've been told it's better for caring for fine glassware, and china.
In our 2008ish, Kenmore Elite, one finds that the Heated Dry cycle is just about useless, when Rinse Aid is dosed (at 3ml). Everything is beyond dry and shiny. Plastics, will have small droplets of water, that can't sheet, but, heated dry really doesn't help those that much to begin with...

"Washing with 1.1 gallon of water is digusting???" I said it borders on it imo. And if the load is dirty enough, absolutely. | ||

@ henene
Bosch dishwashers in the US dry at little different from European models as they don't actively cool the tub since there's no heat exchanger. Instead, most of them don't seem to have quite as much insulation as the Euro models.
I agree with what has been said about careless renters. When we moved into our apartment, the dishwasher was dirty and smelly. I ran bleach through it and eventually had to scrub the inside. A year later, I replaced it with a Bosch. | ||
