We remodeled our Vegas house almost two years ago and went with the top of the line Kitchenaid. It is quieter than the Bosch unit and cleans things easily. The only was you know it is on is by the tiny LED light on the front. Changes colors as it cycles through the process. We are in the process of redoing the Ohio house as well and have already installed the Kitchenaid to replace the old Bosch unit that was here.
