FYI, tip about Bosches that we learned while conducting our search, they don't have a heating element in them so the temperature of the wash is dependent on how high you keep your hot water heater.

That is how they get by with being more efficient, but if you have to keep your hot water heater up all the time just to get the dishes clean.. not really saving anything.

=== At least this was the case with the models we viewed at our local appliance mart/Lowes, etc about 2 years ago.
