I’m mainly interested in how clean it gets the dishes, and how reliable it is. I also don’t need or want any kind of internet-connected features.

      So. Some whirlpool models have a blade inside the pump motor that can help cut down food debris.

      The idea is that if one forgets to rinse off the dish before putting it in the dishwasher it’ll help move the debris along in the system.

      The issue is course is that dishes need to be rinsed of large and even small elements of food. For every dishwasher. Not just Bosch.

      Bottom line, if a manufacturer puts a blade into the pump that doesn’t mean you should stop rinsing your dishes off.

      But! Even though whirlpool has this option a whirlpool dishwasher is significantly worse than a Bosch in everyway.

      But to answer your question, yes. The very high end models of Bosch dishwashers will have a blade in the pump motor.

      I’d look into the 500 or 800 series. They probably have the blade.

        Wipe dishes off, don’t rinse them well before putting them in a dishwasher. They will get cleaner if they go in dirty (modern dishwashers keep going until the water is clean), and it saves water because the dishwasher is more efficient than washing them in the sink. Then clean the filter in the dishwasher after you use it.
