Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great clean, quiet, and nice looking. I would have liked to have a rinse and hold cycle.

My previous dishwasher was a Frigidare, and the noise it made while running in my tiny apt would drown out the TV. The Bosch not only does a better job of cleaning dishes, and holds dishes more efficiently - it is also extremely quiet. It might just be that I'm comparing it to my old one, but I just love this dishwasher!!

Dishwasher fir right into spot under the granite countertop. Plenty of options but not too complicated. The best part is how quiet it is. We were not sure if it was working when we first used it. You have to put your ear right next to it to hear it.

The level of noise of this dishwasher is remarkable in that you hardly hear it running. One negative is that it doesn't beep when it is finished. We wish there were at least an optional beep we could choose. Also, the controls are way too American-looking for our taste as we prefer German appliances look German or at least European in their font styles and styling in general. So this is a negative for us. We have friends who have a Bosch which is a few years old, and both the controls mechanically as well as the fonts on the words are very German-looking so we are disappointed style-wise as well as control-wise. (An analogy for the controls is the difference between a manual transmission and an automatic transmission. If you don't have strong preference to drive a manual car, then you may be completely happy with this dishwasher.)

We love this new dishwasher. It is so quiet you almost forget that it's even on. It does an excellent job of cleaning the dishes and doesn't leave spots on the glassware. I would highly recommend a Bosch dishwasher to anyone who is in the market.

Very quiet, cleans really good, easy to use, stainless tub stays clean and shiny

We found the Bosch Ascenta in Consumers Report. It truly is a best buy. It is on the low end of the price spectrum, but it has everything needed to do a quiet and efficient job of cleaning every item you can think of. Best Buy's installer was superb, too!

I would recommend this Bosch dishwasher- it is extremely quiet. Dishes come out spotless, even if they have not been thoroughly rinsed. The quality for the price is unbeatable. Aesthetically, the face of this model is simple and easily cleaned.

Great dishwasher very quite easy to install cleans great

Great Wash the tall tank makes the open door very low, for a tall person it might be inconvenient opening the door wide. The door must be open all the way to pull out the bottom rack. Very quiet operating you have to listen to make sure it is running.

We bought this DW to replace our kenmore model that died after only 3 years! It is so quiet and cleans beautifully!! We use a mixture of glass and plastic dishes/cups so it doesn't dry fully but if we had not used plastics I'm positive the dishes would be 100% dry at the end of a cycle! Highly recommend!!

Had this dishwasher about a month now, we’re happy with it. Dishes come out clean and by using the sanitize setting they come out dry too. It’s quiet. Top rack doesn’t seem to fit as much as our old one but it’s ok. Would recommend this.

This dishwasher is so quiet, I had to put my hand on it to see if it was really running!! Seals very tightly. Interior seems roomy enough, but some awkward angles do not offer optimal loading choices. Small issue with adding the Rinse agent at first, now seems to be resolved. Was very disappointed that the complete user manual/guide is ONLY online?!?! Really, Bosch?!? Did try to use Quick Guide to help decipher Codes for Cycle choices, but difficult to interpret.

Maybe it's because my old dishwasher was 11 years old when I went out and bought this one but I think it cleans and looks great. It's also super quiet compared to my very noisy 2004 model GE dishwasher.

Wonderful dishwasher. Very quiet. Not sure how 14 place setting could be loaded as they suggest, but I do not have that many dishes! Still deciding if it is cost effective as advertised because it takes about 2 hours to run a load. Seems long but perhaps the savings will show in water consumption. Time will tell. The dishwasher looks great and the dishes come out looking spotless!

performance is great Very quiet Install was good but ended up paying an extra $100 to get it done when already payed to get installed up front

I bought a house and I really wanted to get a decent dishwasher -- We had a cheap one in the place I was renting before. This dishwasher has a mostly stainless steel interior, two spray arms, and it heats water up to an average of 160 degrees. What I really like about it is the filtration system, it naturally breaks down food particles as it runs. This is great because we don't have a disposal in the sink yet, so if some food is on the plate it's not a big deal. As for sound -- OK, I know the big thing about everyone trying to get lower decibels and they want it to run silent etc. But I actually enjoy the sound of a dishwasher running... at 50db I wouldn't consider it too loud or too quiet. In my opinion, I would be tempted to take off the insulation just so it's a little louder. For right now, this dishwasher is the highlight of our kitchen.

This was a replacement for a high end Kitchen Aid so I had all the bells & whistles but the control panel failed and the repair cost more than this unit. This unit has performed ultra quietly and cleans like a champ. You do actually have to push a real button instead of a touch panel, but it works faithfully.

Easy to install, Quiet Cleans very well. Im a custodian at a private school. I installed this dishwasher in a Kindergarten classroom. The old dishwasher just wasn't doing the job properly. These kids and make a mess, and this dishwasher can handle every bit of it. No complaints from the teacher so far.

We are liking our new dishwasher but it did take some getting use to pulling out the bottom rack. If you pull too quick it easily comes off it's track. It does however do a great job at cleaning the dishes. Only other con is the wash cycles are long.
