Bosch - 300 Series 24" Recessed Handle Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub - Black

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

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!!!

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.

Awesome appliance. Gets everything off, super quiet. Not the best drying system but that’s not an issue for us. Easy to use and looks excellent.

Love it!! Quiet, cleans well; no issues after a year of use so far!!

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?

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.

Sales team EXCELLENT, best and quietest dishwasher I’ve ever owned. Could. Not be happier with the choice and the experience
