I wish I could give no stars
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I purchased a Bosch dishwasher after reading a good review in Consumer Reports. This is an awful machine, the no disposal feature that offers quieter running allows food to collect in the filter and even though I clean it every time it runs still food residue appears on the dishes. My old dishwasher worked like a champ, no special detergent or temperature problems just nice clean dishes. I wish when it died I had just had the motor replaced. Now with Bosch’s horrible customer service I am stuck with a $600 problem. Buy another brand!
Best Choice

The best dishwasher we ever had. No Problems at all, very quiet. You can put anything into the dishwasher no matter how dirty it is. Everything is clean. Other Dishwashers like Kenmore, Whirlpool have no chance against Bosch. You will not regret it.

Well as of now my review of this item is very low, as it is not working. It arrived late, then the hook up was done and it is not working. I called Bosch and they said (flippantly and with no apology whatsoever) that it was broken – this after they had me push a sequence of buttons to determine the problem. I now have to wait another week to get a Bosch technician here. We shall see, but I’m not too happy at this point.
Excellent choice

We shopped around a lot and have been very satisfied with this one. It is very quiet, you hear the water sloshing around a little for the fist half an hour, but after that it is almost silent. The quick wash is very good, and the automatic wash is excellent. It helps to keep it topped up with rinse aid. It is nice to have the countdown feature so you know how long it will take to finish the cycle. the racks are very flexible and the top one moves up and down so you can customize it to your dishes. It does everything you would hope a dishwasher would do except load itself! I can’t imagine a better dishwasher.
Good for 1 year

Worked very nicely in the initial period, but now the seal is broken and the dishwasher is loud and leaks underneath. Bosch wants upwards of 200 dollars to repair. I’d suggest a more reliable company that stands behind their quality.
Best for the money

I did extensive reviews of dishwashers and narrowed it down to Kenmore or Bosch. I’m really glad I got the Bosch. It does a great job of cleaning the dishes (no pre-rinsing needed) and is VERY quiet. The two concerns noted elsewhere on the internet (small capacity and no drying element) are not an issue for me. I live in AZ (i.e. low humidity) and the dishes come out pretty dry. The capacity is a little small, but all my kids are grown and have left the house – so it’s big enough for my wife and me. For the money, this really is the best dishwasher as long as you can live with the two limitations.
Energy effecient with caveats
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This dishwasher is very quiet and does a good job of washing the dishes. It is supposed to be very energy efficient, however I can’t seem to get as many dishes in a load as my old dishwasher. What good is energy efficient if you have to do more loads to do the same number of dishes? Part of the problem is the rack design. Try as I might, I can’t get the best use of the space the dishwasher has. The plates just don’t line up right. I hope that they redesign the racks. I wouldn’t mind buying a replacement set that is better.
I have only had this dishwasher a short time so I don’t know how well it will hold up. A lot of appliances made today don’t last the way they did ten years ago. Again what good is an energy efficient appliance if you have to replace it in five years? More energy will be wasted in making a new one then what you saved.
