We’ve had a top of the line Kitchen Aid for 6 years. We love everything about it.

Im not doubting it works well, just trying to understand what it is, and this setup is the classic standard american package
Grinder and exposed heater coil.
The tradeoff with the grinder is the 2-3 extra inches of space it takes up, with a filter unit occasionally you need to take a look at what might be in it, I check it maybe 2-3 times a year and there is never enough in it to bother. The soapy heated water flowing through it continuously basically dissolves any leftover food.
On the heater elements they have 2 functions - 1 heating water, 2 drying the dishes.
On the exposed heating element - the better euro units route this under the bottom of the interior. This way when a plastic piece lands on the bottom you dont melt it on the heater and you can put sensitive items on the bottom rack.
This also prevents them from using the heating element to dry the dishes so what they do is condense the moisture against the SS interior and vent it out of the unit.
I bought a three rack Maytag several years ago. It was one of the few machines that chop up the food. Seems solid. Looked at the Bosch models in stores, but felt they were a little flimsy compared to the other models. I have not used a Bosch though. Happy with Whirlpool models I’ve had in the past.

Yes. As I was reading your post I was thinking I should offer Bosch as a recommendation.
Over the past ten years, we have used Bosh dishwashers in three separate circumstances, including one in a rental unit where the tenants were not kind to the machine. We had zero problems with the machine over a period of 9 or 10 years and three sets of tenants.
Sweetie had a Bosch, two households of good friends have a Bosch, and sweetie's daughter and son each have Bosch. All these owners made their decision to buy independently, and all have been pleased with their choice.
You'll be satisfied, I'm sure. Just remember to clean the filters regularly (I believe they still use filters that require manual cleaning) for happily coexisting with your machine.

It's not owned by Bosch. Beko is a low end manufacturer.
I was wrong again. Let's just say I'm going to refrain from posting in dishwasher threads in the future
You should like the Bosch they are nice. That being said, we went with the buy once, cry once and installed a Miele. I have nothing bad to say - the thing is built like a tank, does a great job cleaning dishes, and is super quiet. Our previous Miele was over 20 years old when we replaced it. Generally a load a day with no repairs during that time...
Glad you could find one. Ours is pushing 16 years old (800 series). Only issue with it has been over the past 2 years the motor has gotten progressively more noisy, to the point you can hear it anywhere in the house. Repair guy said better to replace unit vs motor. We have had one on order since April 2021 and last update is now looking at 2023 delivery.
We have a Bosch purchased/installed in 2008 and love it. Worth the money and quiet. So nearing 15 years old and daily use for family of 5.
