Kenmore version

I have the Kenmore version of the Bosch here. It has dirty dishes in it. I'm sure it will do a great job cleaning.

dishwasher cycle times

I use the smart wash on my Bosch-built Kenmore, which takes 2 hours and 24 minutes, because I have activated dry assist which I prefer. It's basically a heat dry cycle without the heating element exposed.

My TOL KitchenAid has needed a main motor replacement, leaking repair from a bad float gasket/seal, flimsy rack, rack clips that keep coming off, etc. So glad the big stuff was under warranty. However, the drying performance sub-par with it not being able to dry even hard surfaces. I bought it partially because KA promoted forced-air drying. The drying circulation fan is asthmatic at best. And yes, I wish I had purchased a machine that masticates food particles while draining.

Get the Maytag

It’s the closest thing you can get to a food disposer without having a food disposer.

Maytag - but one thing......... if history repeats itself the rinse aid dispenser will start to leak around the 7th to 8th year (give or take).. My 2014 Maytag is still great except for that...This has happened to me with 2 whirlpool built machines around the same time-frame so I can only assume this will continue to happen with their design...

Of the 3 the order I would choose would be
1. Maytag
2. Bosch
3. GE

dishwasher times

Today I ran a load using smart wash with turbo clean which took 2 hours and 40 minutes. It did a great job cleaning and drying.
