Do I need to purchase the installation kit with this dishwasher? Many reviews said the dishwasher comes with all parts needed for the installation. null

No it does not. You need to buy a dishwasher install kit or buy the parts individually. It needs a water line, right angle hose bibb connector to whatever size your water line is (mine was 3/8 compression) and you will need a power cord. Even if replacing an older unit I recommend changing these parts just to be on the safe side since the kit is only about $30 and an old water line can cause much more in damage if it leaks.

Hi there, thank you for your question. This dishwasher will ship with the junction box for hard-wiring and a drain hose. The water inlet hose will need to be purchased separately.

Actually, this dishwasher comes with a 6 ft inlet hose, 3/8" compression to a 1/2", I believe. It has a plastic outlet hose and an electrical connection box for hard wiring the unit to an existing electrical source. My old dw was plugged into the wall so I opted for the optional kit for $30. It not only had a 3 prong electrical cord but all kinds of plumbing fittings to cover most installations. It also has the elbow connector which is required to attach the inlet hose to the unit, a connector & clamp for the drain hose & even a small roll of teflon tape for plumbing connections. The entire installation took about 20-30 minutes & the kit helped a lot.

I just installed it and you need to buy

1 - Dishwasher elbow 3/8" X 3/4" 
2 - Power Cord for built-in Dishwasher or Bosch - 3-Prong Power Cord Kit. I got the second one because I was much easier
