What will the Bosch do with this

[lavamat_jon]

Who in their right mind wants to hide a dishwasher???

Well I personally find fully integrated dishwashers cleaner and neater... all appliances in our kitchen are fully integrated and it looks so much sleeker, and is much easier to clean than our old kitchen where all the appliances were on show and freestanding. IMO, as much as I love appliances, fully integrated stuff is a must for a modern kitchen to be sleek & nice looking, as well as easier to maintain.

Lawrence, I certainly agree with that sentiment! It's amazing how many people on kitchen design and appliance forums get in a huge snit about needing to hide their dishwasher.

Ditto

I'm not into hiding dishwashers, either. We have a semi-integrated DW: yes, it does accept a custom door panel but the controls are still visible.

If you got it - flaunt it! ;-)

Please--

When I said "Who in their right mind wants to hide a dishwasher," I did not mean it as a criticisim, but as an amused puzzlement.

If I ever get to design a kitchen, my dishwashers will be openly visible, as will every other appliance.

When we did the kitchen over, the guy at sears was quite suprised that I did not want an Inagrated Kenpool dishwasher.. He said that eveyr one was buying them.. Not me... Nope.. I like the buttons where you can see them to use them. Plus i think the intagrated ones are far less user friendly.

I don't like all the electronic buttons on the top of the door either. I wanna see what has been chosen, if someone happens to run my dishwasher, as well as I wanna see the timer countdown. What good is a digital timer display if it's on the top of the door lol.

Well,

I was like the rest of you about being able to see the controls, buttons, etc. However, when I first had seen the Bosch dishwasher that I currently have, It was in my Partner's brothers house. They had just redone their kitchen and she got the bosch. Stainless Steel front, fully intergrated. After being able to use it for a week, (she allowed me to take over the loading and unloading of the machine), I was sold. My mahcine does not have a count down indicator or progress lights. There are only 6 buttons on the top of the door. The On/Off button, then Top Rack Only, Power Scrub Plus, Regular Wash, Delicate/Econo, Rinse & Hold--that's it. I just love it. One button to push, Close the door,and WOOOOOOSSSHHHHHH----clean, sparkling dishes.

I don't put extra detergent in the door anymore.

I used to. I have always had KA dishwashers and always used to fill all three soap dishes. I'd fill the two that got closed and filled the third that was left exposed. So, naturally, when I got my first Bosch dishwasher I couldn't imagine it could clean with only one wash. But it does so I don't bother with the extra soap anymore. I'm on my third Bosch and I have been extremely happy with all three.

You should see the Bobload I had yesterday )! I wish I would have taken a picture.
