[Electronics-Talk] Seeking Accessible Dishwasher Recommendation

[Sarah Clark]

We have had a Bosch 800 series dishwasher for about a year and a half 
now, and we love it. We don't have the accessible model, but it is 
totally usable via Alexa or the app. My husband has even figured out how 
to start it via the buttons even though they are flat; I think he has 
just figured out where to touch.


And yes, it is extremely quiet. We can't even tell it is running, except 
by putting our hand on the front of it to feel the slight vibration.


Let me also add that in terms of cleaning, this dishwasher is the best 
we have ever seen. It gets our dishes so clean that they feel polished.
