Update
Sorry to keep bumping this thread, however a few updates. The machine is still performing flawlessly.
Pros:
-The 3rd rack noise has not occurred again. We love how we can place a minimum of 10 glasses up there to save space on the 2nd rack. Far more useful than the 3rd rack on the 204, IMHO.
-No dishes have come out with even a speck on them. Last night a stainless steel 13x9 was used to bake potato chunks in the oven. The pan was placed on the bottom rack on the outside edge facing horizontally with only scrapping. Which is something I do not like doing because the PointVoyager couldn't do it, and the PowerClean required Pots & Pans or Antibacterial cycle for it to come clean in this position, and the Bosch could only do it angled or face down, so most the time I put them angled down at 45º. This morning the pan was spotless with only scraping and at 90º.
-Cutlery basket is well laid out and allows for great cleaning of silverware.
-Sudsing issues with Cascade actionpacs does not occur in this machine
Cons:
-No rinse aid light or reminder anywhere other than the visual port on the rinse aid cover. Though this machine supposedly can hold 3-4 months of rinse aid.
-Adjustable tines at the front of the bottom rack are still annoying.
-Our Roomba gets stuck under the dry vent at the base of the front of the machine as it cleans baseboard edges. Might be preventable if I raise the height of the machine.
-The machine is so large that we frequently run out of plates, silverware, bowls, or pots & pans before the machine is completely full.
Odd Notes:
-It is kinda cool to see the time adjust on ProWash. ProWash without heated dry defaults to 2:13, with High Temp wash & no heated dry it is 2:32. However, if a moderate-heavily soiled load is sensed with ProWash, after a few minutes into the prewash, the machine will adjust time up to the same as a ProWash with High Temp option added, though not sure if it automatically increases temperature to 140ºF for the mainwash. I wouldn't be shocked if it raises it to 130ºF and extends wash time. It seems to have 3 soil levels. Light at 2:13 and using a prewash, Moderate adjusting time up to 2:32 for the total cycle but drops mainwash detergent immediately after the prewash, then a heavy soil setting which senses in the 2nd fill also to either drain or drop the detergent. They have really figured the optimal cycle patterns out.
-I have only witnessed the purge between rinse 1 and final rinse the one occurrence as described in the first post. Not sure if that was for water turbidity sensing purposes.
-I have only witnessed the machine perform 2 prewashes on two occasions, but while running ProWash. Odd enough, Tough only performed 1, but was a lightly soiled load. Just wanted to wash dog bowls on that cycle and try it out. Can not note performance of prewashes and rinses on Normal as I do not use that cycle.
