Excellent – Fantastic, good buy and well worth the money I paid. I am happy that I decided not to go with my original choice and upgraded to this model. My original choice was a more basic Bosch model SMS50E12AU, but decided the extra features of the countdown timer was better for my needs as a Deaf person. Plus the stainless steel matches the kitchen better. :o) This model is fantastic. I absolutely love it. As a Deaf woman I am able to see the countdown until the dishwasher is finished.

I have found that using just the Quick Wash is more than enough to wash the dishes.

I use the Intensive wash when I have lots of things to wash and more heavily soiled such as grease and so on such as my oven and stove racks.

I was very surprised to find that this model has a sharp knife shelf, so I am happy I have somewhere for my sharp knives to be placed safely.

Another feature I especially like is the ability to adjust the height of the basket so this will come in handy.

I should have bought my dishwasher much earlier and I'm glad I did. Not anything so far.
