I've mentioned in bits and pieces our dishwasher saga---we had a 13 year old Bosch 100 series dishwasher which bit the dust earlier in the summer. It was white on white, and was the low-end Ascenta (plastic bottom). Have been entirely happy with it and it appeared to succumb to either a power surge or a circulating pump failure (got an E01 error---our power has been bad this summer; the circulating pump has been a little groan-y over the last couple years). Decided to replace but wanted white (we are liable to re-do the kitchen in the next several years, but anything but white at the moment would be glaring).
Stopped at the nearby high-end store to poke through their "unclaimed" selection to see if they had anything---some interesting ones there but ultimately decided to just replace like for like; so ordered a 100 series in early August with a 10 day arrival. Was about $70 more than a 100 series plastic bottom from Lowe's, but supplies seemed a bit chancy so decided to go with the showroom/free delivery/etc.
10 days stretched into a month + 10 days (we traveled through much of August so wasn't that much of a hardship.
The day has arrived--to see an all stainless tub being unloaded by the installer. Apparently the plastic-bottom is strictly a big-box product, and the delay was because they're in the middle of revising the range.
So a happy accident, it appears....
More to come
