Not their top dollar model, but above the mid-range. 50 or 55db max, it's hard to tell when it's running even standing beside it. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.

A couple of years ago phosphates were outlawed for use in dishwasher detergent - just like they were in laundry detergents a few years earlier. Yeah, Asi, I have opened my Bosch on several occasions while it was running because I could not hear it or feel it running. ---------- Molon Labe Where is Henry Bowman when you need him?
