Bosch - Integra Ascenta 24" Tall Tub Built-In Dishwasher - Stainless-Steel

Bought the Bosch to replace a worn-out, cheap dishwasher that came with the house. First, the stainless looks great! And I love the hidden controls at the top. Most importantly, is the the performance. I've had it about 2 months, and have had absolutely no problems. It cleans the dishes, just like it's supposed to. Everything comes out clean and dry, without residue, or spots, Even the plastic on the top rack is spotless. It's unbelievably quiet. The only time I hear it, is when water drains from it. I left the ending chimes ON, so that I would know when the unit has completed the cycle. I had read where some people had issues with the dishes not being dry, upon completion of the cycle. I have NOT had any such issue. My dishes come out dry, and spotless. I use Cascade Complete pacs, and Finish Jet Dry (rinse aid) My ONLY issue with this dishwasher is the space on the lower rack. It's organized differently than what I am used to. The tines are too close together to fit "thicker" (stoneware) plates between. There would be more room on the lower rack, if the silverware tray was smaller. The silverware tray will hold enough silverware for a small army. Again, it's really quite minor, and I am learning how to best utilize the space I have. I'm very pleased with this purchase, and would recommend it to a friend.

We've had this dishwasher about a month, and have run it nearly once per day. Overall, it's been a good experience. We've followed the directions of what type of detergent and rinsing agent to use, and everything has come out squeaky clean (and nearly completely dry -- certainly drier than our old GE). The dishwasher runs very quietly, although it seemed SUPER-quiet the first few days and somewhat louder thereafter (maybe my sensitive ears are just adjusting to it). People have complained about the racks' dimensions and layout. I'd agree that it's not ideal (seems over-engineered in a European kind of way that one might expect from Bosch), but if you are careful and crafty about how you insert your dishes, they will still fit fine. There's plenty of room for bowls and things on the bottom rack if you're creative about it, using the perimeter spaces and the in-between spaces. But I wish there were more cross-hatch bars on the bottom of the rack to prevent smaller bowls from sagging below the rack level. I also wish there was a Delay setting of less than 3 hours -- sometimes you only want to delay the start by an hour or so. But overall, I like this dishwasher, and especially its fairly sleek outside appearance.

I wish I didn't purchase this dishwasher. Only positive is that it cleans well & looks nice. The interior is too small for large pots & dishes. I have to split my nightly load into two loads. As a working mom this is a waste of my time. The dish slots on the racks are awkward & sometimes it is difficult to tell when a load is complete.

After reading several reviews we chose the Bosch Integra Ascenta dishwasher. Installation was easy and the dishwasher looks great in our kitchen remodel. The dishes come out very clean and the machine is very quiet as it does its job. We use the sanitize function when drying and leave the door closed after the cycle for a while, and the dishes dry pretty well after. Overall we are very pleased with our purchase. The help we received at Best Buy was great - knowledgeable and great advice!

This product works quietly. The dishes come out very clean but the non-stick coat from my frying pans was removed after washing.

This Bosch model was very affordable to begin with plus was on sale and Best Buy offered free installation. It cleans way better than our last dishwasher ever did, and is much quieter.

Quiet, energy efficient, great looking dishwasher! Priced terrific for the homeowner who wants quality at a great price

Hard to learn a new product after your old friend dies. The newer units are fancier with push buttons instead of levers and dials. It has taken a few weeks to learn and I keep the manual close, for questions and help. Does great cleaning job and soooooo much quieter than old clunker. Will learn to love it.
