As long as we comparing Bosch Bob Loads
Here are a couple of mine. I have been a Kitchen Aid lover for years and bought my first Bosch in 02 when I moved to Arkansas. When I sold that house and bought this one the first thing I did was replace the dishwasher with a Boschmore. It's the Kenmore Elite dishwasher made by Bosch and I couldn't be happier with it. It's quiet, holds a ton of dishes and cleans the hell out of everything.

One thing I forgot in the recipe - add to the cornstarch marinade for the meat, a tsp or three of dry white Chinese rice cooking wine - or pale dry sherry.
Paulo, looks like quite a Bosch Bob Load.

B/S/H and Miele
Offer different racks for different needs. When I bought my Miele it took exactly one wash for me to decide that I hated the cutlery drawer passionately. Sure, it cleaned - but I can do without the pain in the neck. Gave it and my bottom rack to a friend, took their standard bottom rack with silverware basket. They like using that rack, I prefer the basket.
But Miele had offered me both when I bought it - I just made a bad choice. Together with B/S/H (but not interchangeable) they also offer different top and bottom racks for special purposes - racks for washing stemware up and down, racks for extra wide plates and spaghetti pots, etc.
You'd think by now Whirlpool would have noticed that there are consumers who actually do want quality and can tell the difference...Bosch and Miele are not exactly losing money in the US...

Thanks, Rich. We usually run the dishwasher every few days, when it gets full, or when we ran out of something, like glasses or silverware, for example. Sometimes the machine is nearly empty and we run the top-rack only cycle, sometimes it has even more items than the pix I posted (fewer things like bowls, pots and pans and more plates etc). The most fun is days like Thanksgiving, when we usually run the machine several times because of the number of people we usually have for dinner -- we generally have at the very least two loads then, one with all the table dishes and one with the pots and pans, sometimes we have to run an extra load or two if Dave gets every available dish dirty when he's not organized. Still, it's fun to have the family and friends around.

My Bosch doesn't have a top rack only cycle. It would be nice if it did.
For a while I was running the dw every night, even with half loads, in order to get the Grind'nbrew parts clean for the next batch. Lately I've been avoiding that by making a larger pot in the morning, and then saving the coffee in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for subsequent mornings. Flavor is mostly pretty good, still, and it results in me drinking less coffee during the day, and getting better rest as a result. Oh, and the dw loads are fuller as well.
Panthera,
I don't know. I've heard so many complaints about the Miele cutlery rack. But I think I'd really like it. So orderly, and each utensil can be firmly clamped into optimum position for cleaning. Probably takes longer to load but the results may be worth it - if all the utensils can be made to fit properly.

If I were running a small eatery, I'd find the system useful - the flatware holder pulls out of the rack (at least mine does) and fits perfectly in standard size drawers. So this would save time you 'lost' loading it. I just am not that fussy - the whole point of a Miele to me is no pre-rinsing, no sorting, just throw it all in and take it out spotlessly clean. Course, I don't sort the daily stainless, just throw it into a big drawer. Only the high carbon steel cooking knives and the silver get put away separately.(gawds, I can just hear the ladies gasp 'I knew she was a cheap slut, but I thought even she had some standards')

Standard sized drawers? Where is this? what size is that?
Euro cabinetry comes in increments of 5cm (say 2 inches), and ours in increments of 3 inches (say 7.1cm), so I'm confused.

Toggles, honey
I will pass by the easy one...we have various industry standards for drawers here in Germany. I have seen several small cafés and "Teestuben" which use this system. It certainly fit in my 60cm wide Ikea drawers, which was my motivation to buy it in the first place.
Like I said, dumb idea of mine.
By the by, sizes are much more flexible today than they used to be, it's no longer a rigid 5cm jump for everything. You still tend to find: 40cm 45cm, 50cm and 60cm then 80cm in nearly every catalog, but the 55cm and 62cm sizes are available far more often now than earlier.
Of course, industrial kitchens frequently are built to purpose by Bosch as well as by Miele so it wouldn't surprise me if the cabinetry had not been built expressly to integrate with the dishwasher. I'll ask my old boss this week when we have lunch together.
The bad news: Black and Stainless Steel are making a come back.

Panthera,
I am by no means a neat homemaker (gasp), but I have always sorted the daily stainless flatware into separate compartments in the cutlery drawer. This explains why on occasion when I've visted others who don't sort their daily cutlery I've felt a bit disoriented trying to find a fork or spoon in chaos. Now I know it was nothing I'd done wrong ;-). I guess I just like knowing how many forks, spoons, and knives are there, even if they are not anything extra special.
Ironically, when she had to give up her apartment, my mom gave me her real silver (bought over many years with stamps and coupons - on the small side but still nice). It was just tossed into a cloth bag, everything all mixed together. It's still in the bag, in my safe, until I can face the task of taking it all out and polishing it (apparently she and my sister went through a period of using it on a daily basis, so it's by no means in mint condition any more). Go figure ;-)...
