If you want another Hobart, just get one. Life is short.

Otherwise, my experience with a dishwasher is far different. We do entertain family weekly with up to 12 people and have worked out a system that gets dishes done quickly. Whomever cooks the meal is relieved of KP and the other and/or daughters pitch in on cleanup. All dishware utensils, silverware, glasses, bowls, measuring devices get a quick rinse and go in the dishwasher, it gets started. The pots and pans are usually only 3 get hand washed which takes maybe 5 minutes, dried and stowed. The dishwasher then continues the job which takes 2 hrs or so and we usually just let it run and unload in the morning. Kitchen is clean quickly, dishwasher is nearly silent and just works.

Our current dishwasher is a Whirlpool and really does a nice job. I never have to fuss with it and the dishes are always perfectly clean. Had a similar experience with a GE at our last house.

We did have a Bosch from 2008-2015 and ours was a PITA. It had some sort of software glitch where it would often fail to go through it's start sequence and shut down. Mfg defect and no appliance guy seemed to have a solution. I found a button-press dance online that moved it past the fail point and it worked. The other issue is that the drain would clog easily. It was an "energy saver" or some such with no macerator so once every 2 months or so I had to clear crap out of the drain strainer. I got good at this but... I should have hauled it out to the range for target practice instead.

Good luck in your decision!
