I have a Bosch 800 series with Crystal Dry, same odor problem others are experiencing. This dishwasher replaced a 30+ year old Whirlpool that never smelled, ever. I rinse dishes first because I run the dw once every 6 days or so. Did a thorough cleaning of the filter, below the filter, the walls etc. Used Cascade dw cleaner this weekend, which did a super job of cleaning, but as far as the odor issue, it's back, now with an overlay of the strongly perfumed Cascade cleaner, which makes it worse because when I open the dw door to air it out, my kitchen smells like the dw cleaner, which I don't really care for. As far as the residual water, Bosch CS told me that it was an intentional part of the design, to prime the pump for the next use? However, I'm wondering if it's the crystals causing the issue, by absorbing odors and then releasing them after several days into the dishwasher? Thoughts? Very frustrated, because dishwashers are nothing new - the first one was invented in 1850 according to the internet. Would much rather have one that just cleans the dishes, than one with all the bells and whistles that smells.

That'd be a fiver ... or a tenner ... for the Anglicans/(Episcopalians, to many of you), the Catholics (of the Roman variety), etc. do ya figger? (You do have $2.00 bills don't you?). Up here ... the $1.00 ... and the $2.00 ... items ... are both coins! Some complain that when one's change purse gets full ... folks re inclined to walk with a bit of a list. And some are agitating for making the $5.00 bill a coin! And pennies are ... gone: useless, it seems! ole joyful

Excellent. One of my favorite sayings- "Every mother is a working mother." I was a working mother with an office job, and oh, how I appreciated my friends who stayed home and would watch my kids when they were too sick for school.

That's funny.
