Bosch - 300 Series 24" Bar Handle Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub - Stainless steel

My previous dishwasher was a Whirlpool model that was supposed to be quiet. It wasn't. We usually only ran it at night when we slept. It did a good job with cleaning dishes and lasted 18 years so I can't complain. I heard Bosch was a really good brand so I read the reviews on several models and ended up taking a chance on this newer upgraded dishwasher that didn't have any reviews, but had nicer features including a stainless steel tub and an additional top rack that works great for serving utensils and plastic container tops. I'm pleased with how quiet it is and roomy it is compared to my old dishwasher that had an annoying pole in the bottom that got in the way of larger plates. There is a red light that shines on the floor when the dishwasher is on which I read annoyed some reviewers, but I actually like. My family often would open our old dishwasher when it was running so this helps to indicate that it's on. The only complaint I have is that the door doesn't open smoothly. It sticks and I have to yank on it a little to open it.

We bought the dishwasher back in November so it’s been almost 6 months of a trial. The dishwasher looks nice and matches the other non Bosch stainless. The dishwasher has a ton of room. The top shelf is a hidden miracle and the adjustable height on the second shelf comes in slightly behind. The dishwasher cleans great as long as the bowls aren’t too close together. This could also be due to the geometry of our dishes but that’s all I have to test with. It’s rated as great for drying plastic even though it doesn’t use heat, I would rate it a 6.5/10.

No, it does not talk of tell you to dim the lights. It does handle big loads, cleans the dishes, bowls, pots, glasses, knives and cutlery in an exemplary way, and dries them spotlessly, as it should, but it also does so virtually in silence. So silently in fact that it has a red light that shines on the floor to tell you it is running. We are extremely happy with it in the two weeks since it was installed. Oh, by the way, the Pacific Sales (Best Buy) price was also the best we found, and include extras that we had not anticipated based on visits to other sellers.

This is our third Bosch dishwasher and it is as good as the other two. The main difference with the newer models is that they have become a little more complicated with the settings, so you have to read the manual to get it to do what you want it to, but it still cleans dishes exceptionally well and is so quiet they added a small light that projects on the floor telling you when it's on. We also like the third tray at the top for large knives and the like.

I replaced an old and very noisy dishwasher with this. I needed one that was quiet because I have an open kitchen in a small living space. This one is so quiet I have to check the light that is projected on the floor to show you it's on. The dishes come out very clean and there are all sorts of ways to load it. Love the handle that you can hang a towel on. Couldn't be more satisfied.

We did a lot of research and decided to go with the Bosch dishwasher because we kept reading that it performed so well to get your dishes clean which is what we were looking for. Except for one or two cycles, the dishes always come out clean. There are some quirks with how you can move the middle rack up and down, it's not as easy as it could be. Otherwise, it's quiet and performs well.

This is a great kitchen appliance. It's so quiet that when it's in operation, all you hear is the water running and moving about. Cleans the dishes thoroughly. Has a convenient top rack that holds utensils that would not normally stay in the utensil racks of other models. I would gladly recommend this item to a friend.

It is indeed very quite. The thing that made it 4 stars instead of 5 was trying to figure out how to place the many different bowls that we use. If we had all plates it would be great. Very sound quality. First dishwasher I bought that was over 500 total price.
