Yes, the KA died a couple months ago, some mice had fun with the wiring. So we got a Bosch, the EXACT same model my dad has... Which kinda sucks, cuz they are both boring, but they do do a fantastic job!
Jamie, I don't know about "overdoing" it or not. But you certainly attained BobLoad status exponentially! It actually kinda looks like the load I had in my GE this morning that's beena ccumulating since the Thurs. before Tuscon!! I can't wait to see/hear of the results of your Bosch. What cycle did ya use? Bob
Sure it'll come out clean - it's a B/S/H! We also have one and I really, really like it.
However, I really don't like the US upper rack (standard, medium?). I'm glad most of the German machines come with the Premium rack system (aka VarioFlex).
Ok, here are the final results! Everything came clean, as I expected! Bob, as I do with every washer/dishwasher I use, I set it on the LONGEST possible cycle, which of the three cycles on mine (Power Scrub, Normal, Rinse/Hold) I use Power Scrub. On a vintage KA, I just MIGHT trust it enough to use the Normal cycle, but with the skimpy water of a Bosch, I require that the longest cycle be used! Anyway, here are the dishes!
Excellent Jamie. A man after my own heart. Uses the PowerScrub Plus when needed. I get tired of reviews on Epinions where people complain they don't have a dishwasher that cleans well. Then they also include they don't use water heating settings or anything jmore than the Normal cycle. Now-a-days, what do ya expect.
I'm impressed! Thanks for posting your BobLoad®, Jamie. It's always fun to see the results from various brands of dishwashers. I love my Maytag, but wish it was as quiet as your Bosch.
Great pictures, i knew the Bosch would get them clean. We have one also and every bobload comes out clean. They would have come out clean on the regular cycle. I see you have a Calphalon lid in there, do you wash your Calphalon pots in there? My book said not to put them in the dw, it would void the lifetime warranty, how do they come out? I did a test with one of my lids and they looked horrible. I used Cascade Complete or the Cascade with Dawn.
