I've been happy with my five year old Bosch... but ymmv.
Same here. My only complaint is that I wish I would have bought it *after* everyone started putting the buttons on the top (of the door) instead of on the front. I've had more than one person lean against it and accidentally turn it on or off.
Careful what you wish for... the ones with the buttons on the top edge have a reputation for having steam get in and fry the electronics... (this from my buddy who is a plumber and installs 'em now and then... he won't install a top-edge control panel model without letting the homeowner know his experience with having to replace quite a few of them because they died).
Just last year we intentionally got a Bosch that does NOT have the controls on the top of the door. They're nicely recessed at the top of the face of the door, and don't present a risk of being leaned on.
