Customer Ratings & Reviews

We've only had this dishwasher for about a week, but so far we're pleased with it. One problem was that the toe plate was too close to the door and came off when the door was opened. Bosch sent us a replacement toe plate with no hassle. It's hard to figure out how to load this dishwasher efficiently -- tines are a little small. Otherwise, it's quiet and gets the job done well.

Does a great job washing dishes. I bought it because a prominent consumer evaluation company gave it a favorable rating. It is fairly quiet, except when it is done, then it plays a self-congratulatory tune sporadically over the next few hours until you relent and go unload the dishes. There is probably some way to turn that off. It feels sort of light and not very substantial or high quality. But perhaps I unfairly associate weight with quality. It did replace a higher-end model which did a much worse job washing dishes. There is no rinse cycle, which I did not realize before I bought it because I thought everything had a rinse cycle. Also, sometimes it does not start until you turn it on, and off and open and close it. Anyway, this is a good dishwasher and I'd totally buy it again, provided that it does not die on me in the next few years. Sort of paradoxical?

We're very pleased with how this dishwasher cleans. Even heavily soiled dishes come out spotless. It's also very quiet. In fact, sometimes it's hard to tell whether it's running. Some kind of indicator on the outside would be helpful. But we do love the clean appearance.

My 12-year old Miele died right before the Christmas holidays, and I needed to replace it quickly. A similar model Miele cost over $1800 today, which (in my opinion) is quite a lot for a dishwasher. I researched other brands and models in Consumer Reports, and this Bosch Model was rated #1 in terms of performance and price. It was also rated as very quiet. I then researched the Bosch for price, and Best Buy was the lowest by far. They were also able to deliver quickly. I have been using the Bosch dishwasher for about five weeks. It is easier to load than the Miele, has a taller lower tier space, is equally quiet, and the dishes come out sparkling clean and dry. Both brands have the stainless steel exterior. The only differences are that the Miele had a water softener that I did not use, had a slightly more solid feel, and had more stainless steel in the interior. This Bosch model delivers everything I need for 1/3 the Miele's replacement cost! Needless to say, I am very satisfied.

This is a great dishwasher if you are looking for a quality and reasonably priced machine. Some of the popular UI features are not included like a digital readout. Also no quick rinse cycle. That being said it is very quiet and does a super job of cleaning the dishes.

Very sleek looking dishwasher. It really works great, we get really clean dishes. Also very quiet, I often have to check to see if it's on. Cons would be it's on the smaller side, there is a specific way dishes have to be loaded. Also the bottom rack doesn't roll in and out smoothly.

In 600 SQ Ft open space of condo. Cannot hear it, while it cleans beautifully. Simple design and controls - easy to use.

Bosch dishwashers are the best. They clean well and are quiet. They are also very hard to find. When our last Bosch died, we were lucky to find a replacement at Best Buy. It wasn't the model we wanted but it cost less and works great.

We had a very bad experience with a Samsung dishwasher and ended up exchanging it for this one. This dishwasher does an excellent job cleaning, it dries well, and its very quiet. The only thing we hear is the water going in and out. This dishwasher is a miracle compared to what we had before. Consumer reports had it right! As for the features, you have to hold down one button, while pushing another button and balancing the door so it stays open to turn on the drying option and to turn off the sound. They could have made that a little less complicated. Once you set it, its done though.

I love my new dishwasher! It is so quiet. The stainless steel is just beautiful. My dishes are so clean and it happens in a shorter amount of time. Your flatware goes into individual holders making sure they get cleaner then the old way where they were all scrunched together. I love that there is no heating element. Ingenious!

I have had several Bosch dishwashers, and again, I am very happy with the performance and the value of the machine. Cleans well, easy to load. Installation was easy, despite needing to add the new power cord junction box, which i was unaware at the time of purchase. I highly recommend.

This model has the controls on top. You have to open the door to turn it on or to make a change, pause, etc. While it looks nice, this is inconvenient. If you pause it while in progress, you have to make sure it continues when you shut the door. I have gone back hours later to find that it didn't complete the wash, though I did push the continue button. Delay wash has never worked. The racks come off track very easily. The dishes get clean and I love Bosch. My last one had the controls outside the machine. It worked better. I don't think I would recommend this model. I would recommend the brand.

What this thing does is clean, and it cleans great! If you let your dishes set after it runs it does a pretty good job of drying them from the heat. It's also quiet. You can hear it run, but it's not loud enough to interrupt a conversation or remind you it's on. Sometimes the layout makes it difficult to load well. I'd definitely buy again.

Owned for a couple of months now. Some people complained about dishes not being dry, certainly not an issue for me. We use jet dry (separate little compartment that you pour it into). The dishwasher heats the water very hot. All my dishes have come out dry and hot. Works quiet. Controls are hidden on top of door, it is really hard to tell that it is running just a gentle swoosh sound. I like it a lot.

The dishwasher works fantastic and is almost too quiet. The one problem I have with it is that it doesn't have a third row for silverware which I didn't realize when I purchased.

This dishwasher is the best I have ever own. It washes so quietly and cleanly. I looked all over the wen and read many reviews regarding the usual brands like KitchenAid and Whirpool and ended up buying this one based on all of the great reviews. Delivery was on time with no issues.

We needed a replacement dishwasher quick, so I looked to Consumer Reports, who listed this as the second best dishwasher to buy (second only to one twice the price). All the reviews said how quiet it was, and it is, but not as quiet as I thought it was going to be. It's not much quieter than the 8 year old bad GE Profile we replaced. Anyway, I still like it and it cleans very well. For around $700, this one would be tough to beat.

We used Consumer Reports to find this dishwasher. Best Buy had a good price and quick delivery, plus they had a great deal for free installation! The people who came to install did a great job and explained how to use it afterwards. The dishwasher has done a wonderful job cleaning and is quiet while washing. The only thing we don't like is that there is nothing on the dishwashwer to indicate it is running, but I knew that before I bought it.

Very quiet, does a great job. I like the cycle choices and ease of loading

The dishes are clean, pots and casserole dishes need more than the auto cycle. It is very quiet but I am disappointed in the fact that it does not shut off automatically when the cycle is done.This model has to be manually shut off. I am very concerned about this because I was always able to run a cycle in my old dishwasher and know it was off. Now I have to time when I run it because I must be there to shut it off. In reading the manual which is very confusing at times only the machines with digital readouts can be reset to shut off. Not one review not even Consumer Reports mentioned this.
