Customer Ratings & Reviews

We purchased the Ascenta because of the rating from Consumer Reports. It was smaller than the unit it replaced. The bottom rack has lots of tins to hold dishes that are not adjustable, that makes putting pots and pans on the bottom shelf difficult. The dishwasher does a good job of cleaning. The normal wash takes two hours.

A major bonus for any installations where depth is an issue. This machine is about an inch less in depth than others.

We’ve had excellent luck with Bosch dishwashers, very quite and do an excellent job of cleaning dishes, will buy again.

We bought the Bosch because our daughter has one that is a year or two old and it cleans beautifully. We learned, however, that Bosch has made significant changes, apparently, since she bought hers. This is a great dishwasher when it comes to getting the dishes clean and it is very quiet, so why the one star rating? I gave it only one star for several reasons. 1. This dishwasher is narrower than our old one and most other dishwashers on the market. When it was installed, there was a noticeable and ugly gap between it and the cabinets. The main part of the dishwasher is narrower than the top panel with the controls and even it was narrower than other dishwashers which exaggerated the gap of the rest of the dishwasher with the cabinets and made it look even uglier. (I went to Best Buy and measured the different dishwasher brands after the install.) 2. The interior of the dishwasher is smaller than any standard dishwasher we've ever owned. 3. Perhaps the most annoying thing about the Bosch, is the tines are angled, not straight which is a huge challenge when loading dishes, bowls, the coffee pot or any even somewhat larger item. In addition, the tines are very close together making it impossible to load even a small lid for a very small Corning Ware bowl. We used to have stoneware dishes. I sincerely doubt they would fit inside the tines, the space is that narrow. As if that wasn't enough of a challenge, they have different sections where the tines run in opposite directions, i.e. at a right angle to the other section making loading plates and, especially, other items even more impossible than the narrow tines make it already. Conclusion. If you currently use most, or all of the space in your dishwasher to run a load, plan on having to do two loads, not one, to get your dishes done. It's a shame Bosch designed this machine so poorly and made it smaller on the interior and exterior than all other standard size dishwashers as it does a great job of cleaning. For these reasons, I cannot recommend the Bosch. We replaced the Bosch with a KitchenAid with the third rack on top. I am happy to report that the KitchenAid cleans just as well as the Bosch, is just as quiet as the Bosch, fits the space just like other dishwashers without an ugly, large gap and has a very, very large interior and is extremely easy to load and handles large objects and/or odd-shaped dishes very well.

Doesn’t dry dishes that well, but works well otherwise.

outstanding service they had to come back a second time as the water line wasnt long enough. great service

After about 30 years with Whirlpool dishwashers, we have been amazed with the performance of our new Bosch. We use the exact same detergent pods, same rinse aid, and same city water, but somehow the Bosch gets stains (tea, salsa, and tomato sauce) out for the first time ever. Also, can't explain it, but when we unload the washer, dishes and glasses just look brighter, sparkling.

After reading the reviews, I bought this dishwasher (there are always a few bad reviews!). Delivery was on time and well done. I installed it myself with the excellent directions. It has performed as advertised.

have only used the product once since it was just installed, but so far am very happy with the results and getting to understand all the buttons and how to use them. seems very easy to operate and thats what i was looking for.

I like it however I loved my old Bosch dishwasher better. Switched to stainless steel to update kitchen. I wish I had my old one back.

After some initial confusion with scheduling, the guys showed up to remove my old dishwasher and install my new one. They were great-- very professional, courteous and fast. They even helped me vacuum after the old one was removed. Very happy with my installation.

The capacity seems quite small on the top section. The dishwasher is extremely quiet but the dishes and glasses are never completely dry when the cycles are done.

I am extremely satisfied with my Bosch dishwasher, it does a wonderful cleaning job and is so quiet you done even know it’s running.

Quiet eficffiependablecent dishwasher. Washes dishes sparkling clean.

Amazing dishwasher! Absolutly love it! I wish it had a drying cycle but other than that works like a charm.

Best Dishwasher for the price It's nice and quiet and cleans better than my older 10 year old dishwasher

By far the quietest dishwasher we've ever owned. Can't even hear it unless you're up close to it. The grid on the flatware holder is a bit odd, but other than that, it works great.

Washer speed working withing 8 - 10 uses. Got a control board error. The bakery and racks looked really cool, but you couldn't fit dishes into them well with all the different directional tines. The unit was super quiet the first few times we used it.

Has been great for us thus far. Low amount of noise. Very user friendly.

Took a long time getting here but worth the wait. My first dishwasher so I really don't have any previous to compare it to but I am very happy. Cannot find any thing negative to say about it. It is unbelievably quiet. I have hard water so use vinegar in the rinse port and have no water spots on my glass ware, dishes or pots and pans. I do still rinse off all my dishes and remove any stuck on materials before placing them in the dishwasher. I love it!!!
