Looking at the installation of that dishwasher in the video, it appears crooked and not raised up to the countertop. 
Point Voyager versus Clean Water Wash

Hi guys. Thanks for all the replies.
John, thanks for explaining that. I will buy an early Point Voyager model and put it through its paces. It's fun to try different models and see what they're like.
It wouldn't surprise me if the YouTube guy in reply #24 is having those problems due to the dishwasher not having been installed correctly and the dishwasher's whole cabinet being slightly bent out of shape.

My 2014 point voyager stainless maytag is approaching 10 years old this summer..so I've been kinda looking around because this is about the time that all my past dishwashers failed....9-10 year mark...although my Maytag seems to be perfectly fine and I will use it until any issues come up...
Interesting...that a lot of appliance companies turn down calls for Bosch... that's good to know.
I really have ZERO clue what I'd buy if mine failed today... seriously, NO CLUE.. and that's AFTER looking at different ones online pretty thoroughly...
It's so funny that I would totally buy an LG front load washer....but at the same time I'm skeptical of their dishwashers...not sure why..
and more often than not... the Maytag dishwashers are always out of stock (at least the sites I check)

Whatever you do when the time comes, take your dishes to the store to fit them in. I harp on this, but there's nothing more irritating than having things not fit.
I've got a 10-year old 100 series Bosch in Detroit, it fits Corelle beautifully---but is less happy with thicker crockery. Holds LOTS of Corelle--even bowls nest in beautifully--just love it. Use fairly thick-handled cutlery which fits in the grid standing up nicely. There is a good stair-stepping of the cutlery basket which exposes everything.
Have an 800 series in California--we use Fiesta Ware out here and it's happy with the thicker crockery due to tine placement, but I'm not sold on the 3rd rack for flatware (though haven't tried the thin-handled cutlery in the bottom-rack-silverware-basket, so I might not hate the 3rd rack too much).
TBH notice the cleaning performance isn't much different (though the hard California water makes the dishwasher door look a bit mottled/streaky). The water in California is a little more finicky about needing higher-end detergent, though.
