  • Features
    • Hard Food Disposer: false (This feature has blades to chop and disintegrate hard food particles, making them small enough to easily drain away. This prevents them from being recirculated back onto dishware and allows for easy maintenance.)
    • Drying Method: Condenser drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)

Q: Am I the only one who finds the controls complicated? Starting the machine requires 4 or 5 steps. I When it’s done you have to turn power off manually (really). You have to hit off to turn off lighted display every time.

A: We have this and don't have any issues with starting it. It's usually 3 buttons: On, Normal, and Start. When it's done, the whole thing turns off for us. So we turn it on at night when we go to bed, and by the morning, it's done and the whole thing is off. Check your manual because there's a setting to automatically turn it off when done. It's called "Auto Power Off". Hope that helps!

Q: Is the third rack really useful? And is it removable if you don't want to use it?

A: yes, it is helpful for spatula's and knives and yes, it is removable - easy out and easy back in.

Q: can i wash my fine china in the bosch-300 series? it does not seem to have a fine china setting

A: Hi there, thank you for your question. Bosch dishwasher’s do not offer a fine china cycle. Several Bosch dishwasher’s do offer a delicate cycle, but this model does not. Please note that using higher temperatures and longer cycle times can damage your fine china and/or glassware.

Q: What are the dba noise levels in the Bosch 500 and 300 dishwashers?

A: I don't have a meter, but I had to check the lights to see if it was on. I couldn't hear it running until absolutely everything in the house was off, then it was very faint, low hum.

Q: What is the advantage of having 3 racks?

A: The 3rd rack allows you to put your silverware up there evenly spaced and gets everything cleaned. Moving the silverware up there allows you to fill the bottom rack with more dishware.

Q: Can you tell me if this dishwasher has a delay start option?

A: Yes There is a Delay start option.

Q: Do users have access to the filter inside the machine, to clean it out easily? (In many dishwashers the filter is inaccessible, but I've heard Bosch allows easy access.)

A: very easy to access. on the bottom of the tub, two black triangle mark how to lock it in. Turn, take out, rinse, put back in, done.
