Look at Miele. It’s the best for reliability.

Our Bosch quick cycle uses 3gal, I referenced the manual on this in the past.

ALL dishwashers now take 2-3 hours to run a load. Only some of them come with the 1-hour speed wash which is a really nice feature when you have to run more than one load in a day.

This isn’t true, my Bosch has a ~30min quick cycle that is all I use, dishes always clean.

This! We have a Bosch and I run it on the quick cycle, air dry, and it’s wonderful. No bells, no whistles, just does its job and does it well. Was cheap, too!

Had a repair person at our home for a warranty reapair on our fridge, and he commented how our cheap dishwasher is a trusted workhorse.

How long is the "normal" cycle, though?

Who cares? I have a DW with a 30min speed cycle and only clean using that. Why wait?

I believe the longer cycles use less water. We run a load after dinner.

+1. Look in your manual. For ours, the short cycle uses twice as much water, something like 9 gallons compared to 4 gallons. I only use the short cycle if I really need something to be cleaned quickly.

Been happy with this one so far but only had it 6 months.

My Bosch cleans on the regular/auto cycle in 2:09 and dishes are beautifully clean every time. 900 series, it’s about a year and a half old.
