Meet Model # SHE55906UC

I now understand how elated housewives were when they owned their very first dishwasher.

You see, mine checked out on me about 4 weeks ago, and was only 5 years old. She did not age gracefully!


 Sure, it was fun in the beginning. I got to wear my cute little dish gloves, and let the hot water warm my frigid winter hands. That lasted all of about 2 nights. I got tired of this picture real quick!

So, this weekend the kiddos and I headed out to purchase us me a new dishwasher. Ryan was on the road in San Diego so I prepared the kids with charged itouches and candy. Met Violet at my local Sears, and went to work. She had the biggest smile on her face when I told I needed to purchase a dishwasher, washer and dryer.


The kiddos parked themselves across the aisle on lawnmowers in the home and garden section, and Violet and I got down to business.


Reaching into my purse I pulled out my report{s} comparing all makes and models. Showing her what I had narrowed them down too. In less than an hour we were done. I was pleasantly surprised she really knew her stuff and what worked best.


And today she arrived. Meet Bosch model #SHE55906UC in black.

Across the board Bosch dishwashers have the highest ratings. This model is known for getting dishes clean, with less than 3 gallons of water and so quiet you have to check and make sure it’s on. Its racks move all around and you can even wash only half a load and a fast load.

Ronnie {the installer} was not excited as I was. Betting he hasn’t been washin’ dishes for weeks in his sink!

Aesthetically I would have liked the controls to have been on the top. But, it was just too tight of a fit to be user friendly.


Watching her being installed, and excited about not washing dishes anymore, I thought only a woman could have thought of this. So I googled it and guess what? In 1886, Josephine Cochran proclaims "If nobody else is going to invent a dishwashing machine, I'll do it myself." And she did, Josephine Cochran invented the first practical (did the job) dishwasher. She founded a company to manufacture these dish washers, which eventually became KitchenAid.


Leave it to us women to invent the more important things in life.


Now, excuse me I must go load my dishwasher {smile}.


Can’t wait to share with you the washer and dryer that are coming my way.
