Bosch has a weird trap / sieve in the bottom. It has an open path for odd shaped items to get into the pump / drain hose. Namely fish bones and fish scales that make it past this trap and stop the pump or clog the drain hose. I am not quite sure why they don't just make a continuous sieve that you pull out as needed. It is SUPER annoying to have to unclog. I can see most people not eating whole fish, but we do, so now after fish dinner, plates are pre-rinsed thoroughly and that has helped. Still, a strange design ...

Otherwise the Bosch is great. I wish it had a garbage disposal in the bottom like some American models. I like to put soiled dishes in the dishwasher, if I have to pre-rinse everything, I may as well skip the dishwasher.
