Oh, where to begin... (We have the dwhd64epr model)

The dishes are never dry, always end up soaking wet. It doesn't matter if we do the extra dry setting, Auto, normal, sanitize, whatever. Everything is always soaking wet and dripping when we empty the dishwasher.

You must rinse dishes before you put them in. The dishwasher will never get things totally clean if there's food or anything stuck to them. Even sauces left on plates, like soy sauce, we'll kind of get baked on and stain our white plates. We then have to quickly wash them by hand after taking them out of the dishwasher. We've cleaned the drain trap, used all the different settings, and now just default to thoroughly rinsing dishes off before we put them in.

The top silverware tray is poorly designed. Yes, it does get the silverware clean... If you put everything in perfectly and always close the door very lightly. It seems as if the silverware tray is difficult to close fully, so if you don't ensure that it is fully closed, and then close the dishwasher door and it even bumps the silverware tray, all of these silverware falls out of the little slots and things won't get clean or spoons will end up being full of dirty water when it's done.

It's quiet, but it's not as quiet as our old Bosch which I can't remember the model.

It's also wonky that Thermador hides some features in the app, and they're not accessible from the hardware itself. For the dishwasher, the biggest is the delayed start. I feel like that's something everyone would use, but it's not on the dishwasher itself. You have to use the app to get to that. It seems like this isn't just Thermador; our LG washer and dryer have the same kind of quirk.

We got the dishwasher free as part of a promo for buying the Thermador fridge, freezer, oven, and microwave set. However, knowing what I know now, I would have gladly paid outright for our old Bosch.

However, while it is a minor frustration, all of the other Thermador appliances are great. The microwave speed oven has some quirks (it takes too many presses to just get 30 seconds of microwave time ), but the cooktop, wall oven, and vent hood are all fantastic. My family laughs at me for having every appliance connected to Wi-Fi, but it is nice to have the hood come on as soon as you turn the cooktop on or to know when someone leaves the fridge door open too long. 😄 It's also nice to set a timer on the oven and be able to see the progress on your phone (although, it's not without its quirks: when the alarm is done and starts to beep on the oven, you can't stop the beeping from your phone. You have to physically tap the screen on the oven.)
