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

• 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
