We, too, have a Bosch - it is a good machine ... super quiet for one thing. But oh, my, I remove that screen in the bottom and clean it out about every three months (according to instructions) - it catches stuff like labels that come loose from jars, and big particles of food that won't decompose. It took Koskid to muscle the thing completely apart the last time - wasn't necessary really. I do rinse before washing only to get the big chunks, especially nut chips and most absolutely rice (turns into glue on everything else). I am most annoyed that nuts will get into the spray wands - both top and bottom - and plug the holes. Those wands will not not come apart. When I have to clean one out, I don't want Koskid in the room with all the blue air. It is the one design feature that is really stupid - the rest is engineered perfectly.
