2nd Bosch Dishwasher

This is my second Bosch so I knew what I was getting. It is quiet and uses very little water and detergent. One issue that I had with the previous Bosch was an inadequate and oddly shaped cutlery basket. This one is even worse. It is too shallow so the silverware tends to tip over unless you use the... read full review »

Good, but a little wet...

Only had it a week and took it back due to not drying the dishes on the top shelf. Not even after setting the extra drying cycle and using a drying agent would it do a satisfactory job. I liked just about everything else about this dishwasher, but I just don't want to dry dishes after paying $600. Overall... read full review »

Truly Quiet

This unit really is as quiet as advertised, and it gets the dishes amazingly clean (and we're on well water.) Installation can be a bit tricky, especially if you are replacing an existing machine. The base of the unit is a formed plastic platform with routing channels for the water and power. Naturally, my old unit was on rails with feet. This resulted in the copper service line not being long enough. (The shortest distance between two points being a straight line and the Bosch base not allowing for a straight line.) This resulted in an extra trip to the hardware store for new copper line. Also,... read full review »

Finally clean glasses

On June 2nd we installed our new Bosch dishwasher. What a wonderful machine! It replaced a 6yr old Whirlpool Gold that quit working. From day one, the Whirlpool always left food particles inside the glasses. Finally, I can empty the dishwasher without wondering if the glasses are clean or not. This is also the quietest dishwasher we've ever had.

So Clean Dishes Seem Polished!

Wow, we didn't know our dishes could get this clean! We had been used to prewashing everything now we just scrape off excess food and load them in and everything comes out sparkling clean. This dishwasher is also extremely quiet and we have no issues sitting and talking at our kitchen island while the machine is cleaning. It also is very attractive in our newly remodeled kitchen. Love that it uses less energy without the heated drying element. This also means that you need to be less careful about items that are only top rack' safe. The down side is that some plastics items are left a little wet... read full review »

We love this dishwasher!

We did a great deal of research on dishwashers and this model seemed to receive good reviews. We have had our dishwasher over two months and love it! It is everything all the good reviews have said. You don't even know the dishwasher is running. The quality of cleaning is remarkable. We have glasses that we were almost ready to throw out and this dishwasher gave them new life. We put our Foreman removable parts and they come out exceptional. We have no complaints and would highly recommend this Bosch dishwasher. It is definitely worth the price.

New Dishwasher...

I just bought this dishwasher in November. My husband and I usually do the dishes by hand , and our old dishwasher needed to be replaced, so we went with Bosch after researching many brands. My only complaint is that some dishes are still wet after the cycle is completed. What's the deal with that??? Sound is exceptionally quiet, the actual cleaning of the dishes is great....but still WET??? That needs to be improved.

Polish your dishes

I recommend this dishwasher. It is quiet, as advertised, which is very important to me. Even better, my dishes are not just clean, they come out sparkling - like they were polished! The upper basket easily adjusts up and down to handle large pots in the lower rack or long stemware in the upper. There are easily adjustable tines, too, in both racks. I'm not crazy about the silverware baskets. I think the sides of the baskets are too low to hold silverware unless the tops are closed, and it is difficult to fit the heavy handles of my flatware through the slotted tops. But there are TWO baskets, so... read full review »

Amazing difference!

Such an amazing difference in this dishwasher and any other dishwasher we've had. I researched prior to purchase and my dad, who is an appliance repairman by trade, recommended Bosch. He was right. It's so quiet. It actually cleans the dishes- they are spotless. I am really impressed with the drying system. Don't know how it works, but it does. When I move I will have to install a Bosch in my next home - don't want to settle for any other dishwasher.

Bosch Dishwasher

I've had my dishwasher for 4 years and all that I have to say good about it is that its you can just barely hear it running and it cleans great, but it does not dry the dishes like it should. This most disapointing thing about this dishwasher is that it has a drain trap and when I rinse my dishes and put the dishes in the dishwasher it does not take long to start smelling. IT IS TERRIBLE. IT CAN SMELL YOU WHOLE HOUSE UP. We have to a rinse and hold cycle everyday just to keep the smell down. I will purchase a new one next year and it will not be a Bosch with stainless steel inside and drain trap.... read full review »

Bosch does it right

Bought this Bosch after having a Maytag ( 7 years old) which was the biggest piece of junk ever. Everything broke on that, most of it under warranty but could not clean cups well. The Bosch is very quite and very efficient with electric and water usage, very impressed. The condensetion drying system worked very well, put extra dry cyle if you have problems. I was very skeptical at first because of no heat drying but it did great job. Tip - do not open dishwasher immediately, give drying system a chance to dry dishes. Quick cycle actually works very well , can clean most dishes.The only negative... read full review »

BOSCH Dishwasher

I LOVE THIS DISHWASHER!!! Love It!! I cook everyday, so I was looking for a dishwasher that would wash/scrub pots...I FOUND IT!! I put in a pan that I used for steak, it had pieces of burnt steak on it... when it came out of the Bosch, it was spotless!! No greasy feeling, no pieces of steak.. just spotless!! Also, this dishwasher is VERY QUIET. We couldn't tell if it was on, unless we shut off the TV and put our ear next to the dishwasher, you can barely hear the water pouring!! I'm so happy we decided to go with this dishwasher, even though there are cheaper dishwashers, this was so worth the... read full review »

Awesome Product

This dishwasher is so much quieter than the Whirlpool I replaced it with. I have an open floor plan and have always had difficulty hearing the television while the old dishwasher was on. I can hardly hear the Bosch running. With my new dishwasher I am also able to just throw in the dirty dishes without having to rinse them. If you've ever made scrambled eggs with cheese you know how sticky that stuff is. Comes out clean....YIPPEE! I love my Bosch!!

Bosch is Boss

We bought this unit to replace a nearly seven year old Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher that ran every day, sometimes twice per day. We looked at the CR Best Buy Kenmore model, a comparable Whirlpool, and the Bosch. Even though it was a little more money ($75 rebate helped), we decided to go with the Bosch. If you're going to install it yourself, be aware that the hot water feed runs in a channel through the bottom of the unit, so you may need an extra hand to fish that through the side of your sinkbase for hook up. Same goes for the drain hose. This unit is solidly built (easily weighs 35-40 pounds... read full review »
