Bosch - 500 Series 24" Pocket Handle Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub - Black

I decided to buy a dishwasher as it had become increasingly difficult to justify washing dishes by hand every day with two little ones at home. After carefully researching all of our options, my wife and I decided this was the dishwasher for us - and boy were we right. This dishwasher is very quiet, not silent, but if you aren't in the room with the dishwasher, you won't hear it. I find if I am 15 feet away from the dishwasher, I don't hear it at all. Even while in the same room with the dishwasher, I certainly never have to talk louder or turn the volume up on music or the TV to compensate for noise coming from the dishwasher. There is a red light that shines on the floor to the right side of the dishwasher to tell you it is running. When a cycle finishes, it chirps 2 or 3 times to let you know it is finished and the red light shuts off. When you open the dishwasher for the first time after a completed cycle, it will illuminate a light that indicates the dishes are clean (attached picture shows where it would illuminate) We have had this dishwasher for nearly two months and are loving it. Here are some items we have noticed: - Following the directions to not rinse the dishes (only remove large pieces of food) has resulted in zero dishes needing to be rewashed - Non-Plastic dishes come out dry nearly 100% of the time (you may need to wait until the dishes are cool to the touch for them to dry completely) - Plastic dishes and dishes that are not angled correctly to remove opportunities for "pooling" of water will likely need to be dried manually. - Each cycle takes around 2 hours and 10 minutes to complete on Auto Mode while using 'Jet Dry' - Highly Recommended. (We have yet to use a different mode) - It can be difficult to keep the dishwasher face clean (especially with little ones that like to touch it all the time), but some stainless steel cleaner does the trick far better than warm water alone. To conclude - our time spent "doing the dishes" has gone from around 1.5 hours a day to 15 minutes a day and the results have exceeded our expectations. Bosch really made a good product here and we would recommend this product to anyone looking to get a new dishwasher.

Bar none this is the best dish washer I've ever purchased and it's super quite.

We’ve had several Bosch dishwashers in the past 20 years purchasing for different homes we were living in. After purchasing a new home 3 years ago, the GE that came with the house broke. You have no idea how good a Bosch is until you don’t have one. It is sooooo quiet, you can’t hear it at all. The dishes and glassware comes out sparkling clean without prewashing. Love it!

We upgraded our KitchenAid to the Bosch, having owned a Bosch in the past. Night and day. Dishes come out super clean. The hour-long short cycle cleans the dishes completely. Plenty of room for everything and whisper quiet.

So far I love my Bosch dishwasher. My dishes are cleaned perfectly. I think most everything dries except a couple of cheap plastic container lids. It is very quiet. You only hear it when the water goes into the drain pipe. I’m so happy with it. It’s very good quality compared to my previous Maytag and GE dishwashers.

This dishwasher is amazing! The cleaning ability is unreal, it’s exteremly quiet and looks great next to my white cabinets. I bought this same model 3 years ago and had to leave it behind when we moved. I missed the dishwasher so much I replaced a brand new dishwasher in our new home with this dishwasher and have no regrets! I used to be brand loyal brand loyal to Samsung until I purchased this bad boy! Highly recommend to anyone!

Very satisfied with my new dishwasher. Cleaning dishes well while saving water. Love how quite it is. Love the extra tray for silverware.

We moved to an apartment with old appliances, so we decided to invest in new equipment. This model was recommended by several friends, so despite being a little above our budget, we bought it. so far it has proven to be an excellent investment, with a lot of space despite being a small model. On top of that, it doesn't make any noise, particularly if I compared to my old model. Great appliance from a Great brand.
