GE/Whpl advantage is simplicity in design, parts and technicians are readily available, and most problems are a cheap fix. From a parts and design perspective they really aren't built anything alike. Don't get me wrong I love GE, they're a good company and make some great appliances, but they aren't Bosch. The others do not have the QC that Bosch does and the amount of GE/Whpl dishwashers I service far outweighs Bosch. I can say from a technician's point of view they are not the same machines. Anything 40db and below you won't notice, manufacturer's are just fighting over who is the most quiet. You're not going to notice a 1db difference, don't base your decision on that. I think either unit will work well and both in the high-end space have similar reliability issues. It doesn't have an enclosed base but it's great. I was initially convinced to go with Bosch, from what I knew (I worked for a few years for an appliance repair place.) but I went with the GE. I looked at Bosch and GE Profile, as they were the only mfg. I turned an 18" wide cabinet with a drawer, into a space for a dishwasher. I recently updated a part of my kitchen in an older house that had no dishwasher. Some users complain that a Bosch "doesn't dry well" because it can result in more condensation when you open it or assume it's dry. Also, Bosch does not use a heating element but heats the water internally to a higher temp. One reason is that if there is ever a leak, it stays in the base of the unit, holds it all. Bosch engineering for their dishwashers has been copied by Whirlpool/KitchenAid (Owned by the same company) high-end units and the GE high-end series.īosch is generally quieter because they encapsulate the entire base and use more insulation there.
