Hi Scott. These are the new line of Bosch Dishwashers with the third rack.
How do you like the machine for washing, drying, cleaning, etc.??
I was looking at these myself.
Thanks

Goodlooking machine! How do you like the third rack? I'm not too big of a fan of my Miele third rack, but the Bosch one seems a bit more useable.
3rd rack and cleaning
The 3rd rack has taken getting use to. I almost pulled it out and went back to the conventional basket in the bottom rack. But now that I'm getting use to it, it has proven to be kinda nice. I was also afraid I would get annoyed have to stand the flatware on end but that has also proven to be of no issue. It actually seems to clean the flatware better than the old machine. With the flatware basket not in the bottom rack it leaves a lot of room down there for other dishes. We use to run the old dishwasher about every other day usually (unless having company) now, we run every 2-3 days. Sometimes because we may be running low on certain utensils or dishes as we were use to the other machine. It is very quiet and cleans quite well. Drying is slightly improved over the other machine which neither machine bothers me either way. Some may complain about the drying but I don't see where it is any worse than other brands and better than a lot of brands I have used and seen. Quite honestly all factors considered, IF drying were an issue, I would live with it. Everything else is on the up.
It does what any good dishwasher should/shouldn't do. It cleans and does it without being heard
I am currently using cascade complete pacs. No scent, just complete. I am also using jet dry in the dispenser. Usually run auto wash with the sanitize option and also have the intensive dry option set to on.

Filter cleaning
It does NOT have a self cleaning filter. The tradition continues of removing the filter for cleaning as with all of our dishwashers.....sorry
The heavy/pots and pan cycle is just under 3hrs. May tip over 3 hrs in the winter time. It's actually close in time with the "auto" cycle. The biggest difference being the pump will run faster to create more powerful spray on the heavy settings.

But indeed, you dont have to clean the filters that often. Just once a month. And auto cycle usually cuts down time on our 45cm 2 year old TOL Bosch by up to an hour. Never took longer then 160 minutes and gives best cleaning. Is yours cutting time, too?

Yes the newer models do have the soil sensors that can eliminate fills and cut time as needed. This in addition to overal water consumption being reduced slightly over the previous generation.

To further answer your question, it seems 160ish is that magic number. Both old and new machine would start off with a number but if its cutting time, you may walk out of the kitchen with say 160 or 2:50 and come back with 120 or 2:00 for example. During the colder months the old machine stayed closer to the 160 or even slightly more as it begins to realize its taking longer to heat water.
Some people may be able to go a month between filter cleanings but I still check mine once a week.

Tss, tss, tss Henrik. Still awake? ;-)
I find the newer (as in 5+ years old) filter system BSH uses to be less self-cleaning. Their older filter had three removable parts - now it's just two parts and the micro filter basically has to handle all the dirt on its own. It does get quite dirty on my dishwasher. But since the dishes come out clean, I rarely check the filter.

Here in the US we had both. 2 piece and 3 piece. It was 2 piece for many years here and then about 5ish years ago we added the 3rd micro piece.

We had two designs. Cheaper units had two filters (coarse and fine) and mid- to premium units had an additional micro filter. In the picture, the filters that are removed from the sump were the ones present on our cheap(est) models and the silver-ish thing you can see in the sump - the micro filter - was included in the rest of the range.
My machine is connected to hot water. It is just the fact that the house is cooler, the machine is on an outside wall, and the water can cool in the pipes between fills.
Ours is conected to cold, but as it is a Slimline, they are faster. Our has the same filter as on Alex's picture. Works fne, but horrible to get all the dirt out of the micro-filter...
Even through it washes for 5 persons, we do still a lot of hand washing dishes, so it is not overused at all. The only thing I noticed is that now after the 2nd PCB went in a week ago, it mostly does a prewash and the full 65° run, but we had a lot of tomato dishes this week which usually make it sense the high soil...
