I nice addition
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Very nice unit. Sadly had to sacrifice a cupboard to install it but I don’t have to wash dishes in the sink much anymore just the ones that can’t go in the dishwasher. Really wish this unit had heated dry option. But will make do without it.  I want to see the loudest part of the machine is when it sprays water the whole operation can’t hear it

Happy with it
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.My first Bosch. Very happy with it. Cleans great. Have been very careful to pre-rinse. I hear that is a key from friends with Bosch dishwashers. It’s a little louder than I’d like. The first one we tried to get installed was dead on arrival, but the second one is a champ.

Value w stainless steel tub from Bosch at Best Buy
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.We were looking for a good value with a stainless steel tub. This Bosch had great reviews but was more costly. We bought another brand at Home Depot then noticed Best Buy put this one on sale and it was available. Quickly got a refund at HD and bought it online. It is very quiet and cleans well. Best Buy installers were fast and well worth the cost. Removed our old unit installed the new one in 30 min. Love the look and holds a lot of dishes.

Bosch Dishwasher
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Hands down, the BEST dishwasher I have ever owned. My dishes come out sparkling clean and dry, and it is so quiet, I had to check to make sure it was running the first time I used it. Bonus: Bosch dishwashers are manufactured in the USA.

Brilliant dishwasher!!
||Posted .This is our second Bosch dishwasher, this one replaced a 12-year-old GE washer. Dishes are literally sparkling clean and the washer cycles are very quiet. Thoroughly recommended!!!

I love my dishwasher!
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.It’s the first dishwasher I’ve had (in 45 years and 3 houses) that makes my dishes squeaky clean. It’s quiet and I no longer have to rinse my dishes. I love that the soap dispenser slides up and down rather than the flap closing (half the time they don’t open). I love that it wasn’t made in China!!!!

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWhat are the main differences between this model and the SHE3AR75UC functionally? It looks like the SHE3AR75UC has a self clean filter and this one doesn't? Are the status sensors, tub/side materials, etc all the same?
Asked by pilateschica.
- A:Answer The answer from the Bosch representative is incorrect. Both models have a sanitize operation. This model (the newer 100 series) has a Rinse cycle, whereas the older model Ascenta series (misidentified on the Best Buy website as 100 series) has a Half Load cycle. Also, this model has a small Utility Rack above the upper rack for longer items, like kitchen knives, whisks, spatulas, etc.

Q: QuestionI have a Bosch 100 series for about 2 to 3 weeks. Since I've been using the dishwasher the inside door and my dishes all have been wet. I have a rinse aid in it but it seems they should not be as wet as it is. Do I need to have looked at? Warranty?
Asked by Theresa.
- A:Answer I have the same exact problem. I am under the impression that it's not as good as all the hype. Very disappointed!
Answered by Domomite
Q: QuestionIf I don't leave the dishwasher door propped open after each use, it has a terrible odor. I tried the white vinegar suggestion from the manual. It helped, but the odor came back. The unit is brand new. The filter screen is clean. What do I do?

Q: QuestionWhere is the steam vent located on this model?
Asked by Beckarena.
- A:Answer Hi Beckarena. Thank you for your question. The 100 Series Dishwasher is a completely sealed system with no vents or fans. It has Condensation Drying. The final rinse uses high-temperature water to make the dishes very hot. The stainless steel tub of the dishwasher cools faster than your dishes because stainless steel cools faster than glass and porcelain. Condensation occurs when the moist air in the dishwasher comes into contact with the cooler stainless steel tub, and turns into water droplets. These water droplets trickle down to the bottom of the dishwashers and are drained. Since it’s a closed system with no fan, the cleaning process is more sanitary. With no exposed heating element, plastic utensils and dishes places on the lower rack will not melt. The use of rinse agents, such as Jet Dry®, aids the condensation drying process by reducing the surface tension of water. This in turn allows the water on your dishware surfaces to run off more freely, so they dry better.

Q: QuestionHi, Does this unit possess hard food disposal? What additional parts are required for purchase to make this dishwasher fully functional? thx
Asked by hardFood.
- A:Answer No, this model does not have a food disposal feature. It has a filter that you will need to empty occasionally. Quieter dishwashers have moved away from food disposals as they were noisy.

Q: QuestionCan the dry cycle be turned off on this model
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Hi there. Thank you for your question. All Bosch dishwashers dry through condensation drying, which takes place after the final rinse. If you prefer for the dishwasher not to dry, you could not utilize the sanitize option, which raises the last rinse temperature to 162 degrees and not use rinse aid, both of which enhance the drying process.
