Customer Ratings & Reviews

Feels cheap but is quiet and cleans dishes well. Tight layout inside might not be for everyone. Door can't be half open, which is annoying if you just want to quickly put one object in.

We have had the dishwasher for a few weeks and it has cleaned just about everything we put in it. It cleans much better than our previous dishwasher and is quieter. Installation is a bit of a frustration. The 90 degree inlet for the water and the wire strain relief were not included with the machine. I would have gladly paid a few extra dollars to have those item included and saved a trip to the hardware store. Be sure to get everything listed on the dishwasher box.

The reviews were spot on. Extremely quiet. Not the best in drying. Dishes really clean. I don't love the interior set up with the silverware holder and tines in the racks... embracing change takes time I guess. Seems to hold less than my old washer, but all in all a good purchase. I would certainly buy again.

Such a great choice extremely quiet and a wonderful cleaning and drying job. The price for such an efficient product was very economical. Very easy to use. I’m totally satisfied with my purchase and the installation team was wonderful.

The Bosch Ascenta is a great model, we did our research on the different makes/models and decided that this is the model to go with. We are delighted with our choice. Everything we read about how quiet this model is and how clean the dishes come out is true. We have hard water and our old Frigidare dishwasher was no longer working that well. Between the new water softener and the new dishwasher my silverware and glasses are shining as if they were brand new. The handles on the baskets to pull the baskets in & out when loading/unloading dishes is helpful too. Best Buy had the best price. The delivery schedule was flexible and the installlers were able to hook it up in no time. The only drawback is it is smaller than the old dishwasher and holds about 4 less glasses on top and I can't load as many pots/pans into the bottom rack either, but we knew this when we purchased it.

I love my Bosch dishwasher. It is quiet. It does a good job of washing the dishes , with no leftover residue. It gives you a choice of about 5 different cycles. There is a timer which shows you how long your cycle will take. I would recommend this dishwasher. I was also very grateful to the manager who helped me purchase this product online, Is while in the store. Originally, I purchased a dishwasher from Sears but it never was delivered. I was told that they had ordered it and that it was at the warehouse, when in fact it was never sent almost 3 months later and they keep sending me emails stating that my dishwasher is on the way. I went to Best Buy on a Wednesday and I had my dishwasher in by the following Tuesday

the price was the best deal. cleans the dishes to a sparkle. very little noise can hardly hear it. would definitively recommend to all that is looking the best deal from consumer reports i love it. as the others said in reviews it does dry well but i use at night and empty it out in the morning so no problems

After reading reviews and researching dishwashers, we narrowed the choice down to 2. We went to Best Buy to see each and after comparing them, we selected the Bosch. We've had it over a month now and it is really quiet. It took a couple times to learn how to load it efficiently but we have it down now and it holds more than our previous dishwasher. The only drawback so far is the latch system, not too sure of how long it will last. After seeing ours and how it worked, my parents bought one also. I hope it lasts 16 years like our last one.

The dishwasher is good, but has some minor flaws like the door using a friction snap instead of a handle to open and close, and a dishes and plates rack set that isn't super intuitive (plus it seems to smell worse than our old washer). It cleans well and is very quiet, and the variety of wash settings are nice. A little disappointed to hear the life expectancy on it is only 5-8 years though. Our last washer ran well for much longer than that.

Very quiet dishwasher (supposedly more expensive models are even quieter, but I don't know why you'd need that). Excellent washing capabilities. I like the fact that this model does NOT have a 3rd drawer (for silverware); instead it has classic silverware baskets on the side of the first level. Standing up dishes takes a bit getting used to, the prongs are tilted, requiring dishes to be tilted - but once you figure out how to load them, it turns out to be pretty efficient. All in all, we are very satisfied with this dishwasher.

Amazingly quiet. Didn’t know it was running the first time I started it. Clean most dishes. Don’t do anything caked on or burnt on. Cycles are very long as well. Not a time saver. Faster to do dishes by hand.

This machine is so quiet and the dishes always come out super clean. My only issue is its slightly smaller than the traditional dishwashers I've had in the past and it's thrown my perfected loading routine off. Hopefully I can adjust!

It has been about a month now and so far so good. Installation was pretty easy, just had to buy a fitting for the water line. The unit is very quiet and the dishes come out sparkling. If I have a complaint I wish the rack for glasses had brackets to hold wine glasses in place.

When we first got it I couldn't even tell if it was on. We have had it for 15 months and it is no longer that quiet. However, it is still quieter than our previous dishwasher. I have to say that it cleans really well. If you use the rinse agent like you are supposed to everything works great.

This dishwasher is affordable, high quality, quiet and does a great job washing dishes.

This is a good entry level dishwasher. It cleans dishes well, runs very quietly, and is a pretty good value for the price. My only complaint with this dishwasher is that it doesn't have a heated dry cycle. I'm sure this has to do with the efficiency of the dishwasher, but it's a pain having to hand dry items. We've taken to propping the door open with something once it's done to allow the dishes to air dry. Otherwise, it's always wet inside. An average cycle runs about 2 hours, which seems long. We run it at night, though, so it doesn't bother us.

It accommodates taller items in the bottom tray than my last dishwasher. The prongs are spaced closer together which takes a little getting used to, but once loaded everything comes out clean. It is quiet but not as silent as I expected from other reviews of Bosch. There is a count down timer which lets you know how long is left in the cycle. There isn't a beep at the end of the cycle like some other reviewers mentioned?? My only gripe is that there isn't an air dry setting.

I had to return this dishwasher because the door would not latch properly. Had it not been for that I think this washer would have been great. It runs very quietly and cleans very thoroughly. It's important to note that you have to clean the filter on this dishwasher fairly often or be pretty thorough cleaning off you dishes before throwing them in the dishwasher.

Solid dishwasher, lots of cleaning options, but I just use the auto-sensing and it cleans very well. Nice and quiet while it runs. Would have rated 5 but one star off on the rack peg configuration can be awkward.

I got a great buy on this dishwasher. It cleans very well and is so quiet I can hardly tell that it is on. The only thing I don't like is that the bottom rack comes off the track easily when I pull it out.
