Really nice and quiet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dishwasher was as advertised. Delivery was easy and on time. Best if your dishes, especially bowls, are not thick bodied. Bosch customer support has an attitude, so hopefully you won't need them.

I would recommend this to a friend Eh it’s ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this thinking that it being a bosch that it’d be nice quality . It feels pretty cheap quality and doesn’t even wash very well. And it never dries the dishes well; they always come out wet. If I could return it , I would but it’s past the return time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBest dishwasher since the 1980s!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dishwasher is fantastic! It replaced a 5 yr old GE that failed and although wasn’t happy to spend money on a new appliance it worked out because this dishwasher actually washes the dishes without having to wash them in the sink first! Yeah!

I would recommend this to a friend Great Product / Installation Not so Much
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great dishwasher but the installation was poor. They were not prepared nor did they finish the install for 2 weeks. They showed up and could not get it installed and they left it in the middle of the floor for 2 weeks.

Great Washer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great looking with a very quite and cleaning washer
I would recommend this to a friend Upgraded dishwasher
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My mom's dishwasher went out, but the same brand wasn't available. I went on a limb getting this after the sales guy talked me into it. Mom was blown away with the looks, quality, and how much better this was compared to her old one. Very happy and worth it.
I would recommend this to a friendPerfect appliance, not too many options
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher works perfectly, and it does not have too many unneeded (and that would be rarely used options) I especially like the digital timer display that lets me know when the load will be clean.
I would recommend this to a friendBosch Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Dishwasher works great, however there was supposed to have a power cord adapter included, and it was not. I live 25 miles away so I worked around it during instalation.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Rack design
Poor racking design. Moisture.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited to get it and the excitement quickly dwindled. It cleans ok, not great. The big problem is the way the racks are designed it’s hard to put any items in it besides plates.way too many tongs so there’s not open spaces to put pans, bowls, or anything with a little with without forcing them in. Also, I ran it just before I went out of town for 2 week and when I returned and opened there was still moisture inside.

Posted .Hi Unexpected, thanks for your review. We’re very sorry to hear about your disappointment with model SHEM3AY55N. We appreciate your feedback and will forward your comments about the rack designs and moisture to the appropriate teams for further consideration. For useful tips on how to maximize the loading space of your dishwasher, we recommend reviewing pages 16-21 of your Use & Care manual. Regarding the moisture inside of the dishwasher, all Bosch dishwashers use a condensation drying process known as PureDry™, which is the core drying system that delivers simply clean and dry dishes. PureDry™ is an energy-efficient, closed drying system that does not pull in outside air or use an exposed heating element. Condensation occurs when the moist air in the dishwasher comes into contact with the cooler stainless steel tub, and turns into water droplets. These water droplets trickle down to the bottom of the dishwasher and are drained. If you have questions or need assistance, feel free to connect with our Care Team at 800-944-2904 for real-time support. Thank you for choosing Bosch.

Posted .Hi WetDishes, thanks for your review. We apologize this has been your experience and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Please see the suggestions below for improved drying.
1.Use Finish® JetDry® rinse aid to help dishes dry faster
2. For everyday use, we recommend Auto Cycle.
3. Select special drying options like "Sanitize and Extra Dry".
4. Pull out lower racks first to avoid dripping water from the upper rack.
If this doesn't resolve the issue, please contact our 24/7 customer service team at 800-944-2904, who would be happy to provide real-time assistance.

I would recommend this to a friendBosch 100
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this diswasher based on product reviews, pricing and looks. Oh yes and quiet operation. The door has a strong spring, so be careful. The top rack wheels seem flimsy for a quality machine

GOOD DISHWASHER FOR THE PRICE.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.IT'S TAKING SOME TIME TO GET USED TO LOADING IN THE DISHES. OTHER THAN THAT IT DOES A GREAT JOB CLEANING AND DRYING THE DISHES. IT'S EASY TO SIMPLE AND EASY TO OPERATE. IT DOESN'T HAVE ALL THE FANCY OPTIONS OF A MORE EXPENSIVE DISHWASHER BUT I DIDN'T THEM.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this dishwasher for about 5 months and could honestly not be happier with it’s performance. It cleans my dishes wonderfully I usually run it overnight and in the morning my dishes are clean and mostly dry. It is 10 times better than the kenmoore I had
I would recommend this to a friendVery Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned Bosch dishwashers in the past and have been very happy. I couldn't wait for my Whirlpool dishwasher to stop working so I could buy another Bosch. The first time I used this new dishwasher, there was water droplets on the inside door, even though it sat closed throughout the night after it completed it's cycle. I have read other reviews where this has caused mold inside. However, this was not my concern since I thought I would dry the inside door after each use. My concern is with how well it cleans. When placing utensils on the utensil try on the top rack, they do not come out clean. There is stuck on food. I have tried turning the utensils around in all sort of directions, however, this has not helped. In addition, some of the dishes do not come out clean and I have to hand wash them. I really wanted to love my new Bosch, but have been disappointed. I make sure to run the sink water until it is hot, I make sure none of the dishes are touching and there is ample room for a good washing, I have used the best name brand dishwasher tablets. Even placing two instead of one. I opened the dishwasher after a completed cycle to make sure it was hot inside. And it was. Best Buy has a wonderful return policy and is allowing me to return this dishwasher within 15 days for a full refund. I will be doing this today. I cannot even look forward to buying another Bosch dishwasher since they all have the same washing capabilities. The only differences are within the quietness, racks, and amount of different cycles. Perhaps, the quality has been diminished to cut corners. I cannot believe that this dishwasher is defective outside of the box.
