That seems to be the answer, but I'm just fishing for input. There's a nice Bosch at Home Depot for about a grand (US)

I got the 100 series for much less. I had to go to a local appliance store since all the big box stores has a ridiculously long lead time for the lower end Bosch models. I’m happy with it, but it’s still new

What do you gain over the 100 by upgrading to the higher model numbers? Is it worth the trade off, in your opinion, for the money saved to have gone with an entry level unit?

I think the higher end models are quieter, but nit sure what else makes them worth it. I can hear mine running, but don’t need to raise my voice to hold conversation. We have the money and could’ve easily gone higher end, but couldn’t find a compelling reason to. At the ~600 price point the Bosch was the clear winner over the whirlpool or GE model.

I went bosh when the one that came with my house crapped out thinking I'll spend a little bit more and buy a good one in the last a long time. Then just after the warranty wore off my tween leaning her ass on the slight lip sticking out from the door had just enough weight on it that the door opened shifted her weight forward knocked her off her feet and all of her weight come landing down on the door which was now open. Broke the hinges and cracked the board in the front panel. Made up my mind that buy it for life isnt going to happen until after kids move out.

That's probably a good assumption.

Go to an appliance store. Better service, repairs, install and appliances
