Cleans very well but some issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, this has been a decent dishwasher so far for the few months that we've had it. I would recommend it if you can get it on sale, but I would not recommend it for full price. Pros: easy to install, cleans and sanitizes dishes well (the most important thing!), very quiet, very easy to use, has a third rack at the top, reasonably priced since we got it on sale Cons: does not dry dishes at all, even when using rinse aid and the "Extra Dry" setting, our previous Bosch dishwasher had all metal fittings, but this one has some plastic fittings and attachments which has me concerned about the long-term durability, it was missing multiple parts that the installation instructions said would be included and that we had to go out and buy, there is not much space between the bottom rack and the spray arm or between the middle rack and the top rack, which makes it difficult to fit even normal sized plates on the bottom rack or larger glasses on the middle rack

Great Product, Great Price and Fantastic Install!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has turned out to be a fantastic dishwasher at a great price. Delivery and installation were literally the next day. The product works great. I even purchased the 5-year warranty which was terrific. The installer/driver was the best I've ever seen. In comparing this experience with Home Depot? I'll never buy another appliance from them again. I'm so glad I decided to go to Best Buy!!!

Cleans well and quiet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher is quiet, lots of wash options, lots of room and most importantly cleans well. The only negative is dishes don't dry fully even when using the rinse aid and selecting extra dry.

Does not dry at well at all
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The good: the dishwasher is very quiet and the delay start is very flexible. The bad: the drying on this machine is ABYSMAL. I'm on my 2nd one after getting the first one replaced and even with "Extra Dry" + "Sanitized" dishes will come out wet. Not just plastic dishware but even glass containers or ceramic plates. Also, the utensil holders are extremely frustrating, they constantly come out of place when pulling out utensils. The racks also seem poorly designed as its often hard to get things to fit just right. I'm very disappointed with this brand as I thought it was top-of-the-line. My previous GE dishwasher was loud but it would dry pretty well. Also disappointed with Best Buy Total Tech as I'm now being forced to bring the appliance back to the store to replace it with another brand. What's the point of the membership then?

Posted .Hi nquintero, thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear that model SHEM63W55N has not met your expectations. This feedback is helpful to us and will be shared with the appropriate groups for further consideration. Your dishwasher is designed to dry using the PureDry® condensation drying process. This is an energy-efficient, closed drying system that does not pull in outside air or use an exposed heating element. It works by heating the dishes with hot water during the final rinse. The cool stainless steel pulls moisture from the dishes. The inside of the unit will be wet at the end of the cycle, but the dishes should be dry. It's important to note that plastics don’t retain heat as well as other dishware materials and don’t dry as well. For optimum drying results, we recommend using rinse aid and the Extra Dry option. You can find troubleshooting tips on page 41 of the Use & Care manual, available on Bosch's website. Instructions for turning on the Intensive Drying feature are on page 33. The manual also includes suggested loading patterns to maximize your dishwasher's loading space. If product assistance is needed, please contact our customer care team at 800-944-2904. Thank you.

Works well, Quiet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Old DW was a noisy old thing so decided to look for those with good quiet noise ratings and read Bosch were very quiet in general. We had a KA in a previous house and found it did a great job of cleaning and drying but was not quiet enough for the new house due to proximity of kitchen to the family room and bedrooms. Our son has a Kenmore Elite at the house they recently bought and it is very quiet - so we looked at Kenmores, KAs and the Bosch. After a good deal of research, we decided on this model for several reasons - the sloped silverware tray aids in washing and drying, the height adjustable middle tray is helpful for different height items, the adjustable supports in the trays help to add flexibility in supporting different types of dishes, bowls, etc, stainless liner for long life and durability, no exposed handle to stick out from face of cabinet, front facing control panel allows for seeing progress at a glance, large removable utensil bin and it was within our price limit and best buy offered free delivery within 3 days. Honestly, Kenmore and KA both have very comparable machines. Lowes has the same basic model at same price but theirs is a specially modified version that takes swaps out the 60 min cycle with a 30 min cycle. Frankly, we did not feel a 30 min cycle would be useful where this one with 60 min cycle seems much more realistically useful for small loads. Only thing I needed for installation was the water inlet fitting and a section of flexible supply line. The old drain and power cord were re-usable. The height and level adjustments were easy, all done from the front. It fit perfectly into the old space and the under counter tabs fit pretty close to the previous. So far it has performed well. I agree with others who complained of the odor - definitely a musty odor from water used for testing before shipping and/or certain plastic parts. After several uses now, the odor seems to have dissipated. I'd say the extra dry cycle is pretty regularly used - it seems energy conservation may limt the heating power of newer machines - our old KA seemed to heat up much more. But then its not a big deal and probably safer in the long run for plastic utensils. Our old machine did ruin a plastic burger press that said it was dishwasher safe but apparently not safe from those that put out more heat. We have not tried all cycles - the 60 min and auto seem to be working fine for our needs. In general with only the two of us, we run it once a week. Since dishes tend to sit for a while, I tend to rinse them well in the sink first to avoid having stuff dry on and be difficult to wash off. Of course there are times we crank out more dishes and are less fussy about rinsing when we know we will be running it that night. In all occasions so far, it has performed well.

Q: QuestionAm 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.
Asked by Sue.
- A:Answer 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: Questioncan i wash my fine china in the bosch-300 series? it does not seem to have a fine china setting
Asked by doodlebug.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionWhat are the dba noise levels in the Bosch 500 and 300 dishwashers?
Asked by Jk.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionWhat is the advantage of having 3 racks?
Asked by Kerri.
- A:Answer 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.
