Since We Already Have So Many German Products in Our Home, We Had No Qualms Whatsoever About Buying a Bosch Dishwasher

When we bought our Bosch dishwasher, we had confidence in Bosch products, Bosch technology, design and engineering, and Bosch customer service. The Bosch dishwasher was top-rated, very quiet, energy-efficient, and had a stainless steel interior and the patented anti-flooding feature.

Since we already had many German products in our home, it was easy to buy a Bosch dishwasher when we needed a replacement for our old one. We were completely unprepared for the dishwasher failure that came last May 2009, but it seemed like a good idea to buy Bosch at the time. Live and learn.

Over the years, we have owned several German cars, starting with our first VW Beetle in the '60s, and followed by two other German automobile lines. Although we do not currently drive a German car, every day we trust our safety and our lives to the Bosch ABS braking systems when we drive on today's roads and highways.

In our kitchen, we have a German egg cooker, toaster, coffee maker, and there is vollkornbrot in the pantry. The china on our table is a noted German brand that has been in business for hundreds of years. Our kitchen knives are a well-known German brand. Our cooktop, oven and microwave are branded Bosch subsidiaries. Many of our cameras are made by an old and respected German optics manufacturer. And even our dog leashes are made in Germany.

We have enjoyed our travels to Germany for both business and pleasure. Some of us have studied German in school, and we had a German exchange student in our home some years ago.

For many years we have had a positive view of German culture and products. In exchange for our loyalty, we expect reliability, ease of maintenance, responsive customer service, and good value for the money. We expect to be treated fairly.
