The heinous F&P dishdrawer that we bought 6 years ago died (again) this morning and we are so fed up with it (and the grumpy serviceman) that we have decided to toss it.

I think we will buy a Bosch - overall they seem to have good reviews and if it's anything like my Bosch washing machine I'll be happy.

However, there seems to be slight discontent amongst reviewers of them that I've read, that says the drying of the dishes isn't all it should be.

If you have a Bosch, do you have an issue with the drying side? Do your dishes come out wet or are some people just being anal about it?

Thoughts please before I order one today.

We have one. It's great the only problem and it's not really a problem is the plastics are a bit wet when it finishes the cycle. We leave to door open for about 10mins and all is fine.
So normal dishes, crockery and cutlery is fine a dry straight into the drawers but the plastic is damp. Otherwise it's been great doesn't miss a beat. I am comparing it to me hand washing though.

No issues with mine.
I don't expect bone dry dishes though. The vast majority are dry and go straight into the cupboards.

One or two plastic items go on the clean dishrack or get a quick wipe with a tea towel. Doesnt even rate on my radar. Only takes me 2 seconds.

The only time out dishes aren't 100% dry is if we open the door as soon as the cycle finishes. We just give it time to cool down & all is good.

Our is about 8 years old & going great. BIL bought a model up from ours & it seems even better!

We originally had a fairly old ASEA (asko) dishwasher in our house when we moved in that was fairly good at drying up. I had a exposed element in there which seemed to the job well.

When that died we bought a Bosch. It is a better dishwasher but can be a little light on the drying. It's primarily plastics I have problems with. Everything else dries well.

Excellent - thank you for your quick replies.

I have a Bosch. I hate it. It's noisy, hard to stack and doesn't dry well. Of course, the bloody thing just keeps going and going. We've had it about 5 years.

Of course, the bloody thing just keeps going and going.

My primary requirement Jemstar. Thanks for the recommendation.

according to a recent Choice report, the base model, (it was called the 'Classic' when the report was done last year) scored poorly on drying, but all models above that scored well on drying. When I spoke to the Bosch sales person in their display centre, she agreed with that and said it was also related to the energy efficiency - ie low energy use meant low drying, so you might get poor drying on some of the energy saver cycles too.
