Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love all of the features and the top drawer. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't dry all the way. Wife is learning to live with the top drawer and loves and dislikes it. Personally I don't have an issue with it. It's a Bosch which means it does what it's supposed to which is clean dishes. Job done!

Just got it installed a week ago and so far it’s been a wonderful appliance. The heat is superb and it’s very quiet. We normally use it at nights and it’s wonderful not to notice it while washing. So far the best dishwasher we even owned.

Overall, I believe that we will be happy with our Bosch 300 series dishwasher. It will take some adjusting to get used to the rack setup. We do like the shallow, uppermost rack. The middle rack for glasses does not accommodate wider glasses well. The side parts of the rack are quite narrow, and in the middle it is too loose to support the cups. The slots for plates are so tightly put together that we have to just use every other slot. We did not receive a paper manual, since the company is being "green". That is fine, but we found it challenging to get it. The Bosch website indicated that the Model number would show on the top lip of the door. It was not there. Eventually, we found out if was on the right side of the door (very hard to reach since it was tightly in the corner (see photo). I could only find it by sliding my iPhone in a narrow crack and shooting random photos until I captured the image. At that point the person at Bosch guided us through being able to download the manual. "Finish" detergent and drying agent were recommended and samples were given. Dishes came out nice and clean, but were heavily perfumed, to the degree that it affected the taste of food or drink used with the clean dishes/glasses. Who needs perfumed dishes!?!

Works like a dream so far but I was really impressed with installers. They were professional got the job done and worked around install issues.

It cleans well and looks nice. BUT... it's much louder than people say and the most annoying part? Take a look at the photo - see that light that says "clean?" as in "the dishes are now clean?" It stays on for a few seconds after the dishwasher finishes a cycle... AND THEN TURNS OFF! We were kind of shocked. Seriously? So, we never know if someone in the house ran the dishwasher unless they tell us? I called Bosch. Their response? "Yup! That's the way we make 'em!" I'd look elsewhere...

Reviewed this dishwasher before buying and we love it. Easy to load, cleans dishes on the 60 minute cycle and looks great in the kitchen.

After too many self-repairs on my old Frigidaire DW I thought better to upgrade and "splurge" on this Bosch 300 Front Control. Hopefully it will outlast me but after a couple months use, I'm dubious. Self installation was easy enough. Needed to add the hardwire junction box. Leveling the machine is a cinch. While it has the stainless steel tub, many of the features are plastic, including the closing latch. I'm anticipating having to replace or repair that before I give up my ghost. The third rack at the top is interesting-- still figuring out optimum use for that. Operation is simple. I question the need for these "smart" appliances having connectivity with home networks and associated apps. I mean do I really need to remotely control my dishwasher? The thing is, they now make a lot of the features dependent on that connectivity. Silliness. The machine does a good job cleaning dishes. Still figuring out our loading scheme. The Frigidaire was actually more flexible and accommodating in that regard, if I'm going to be honest. But we'll sort it out I 'magine. There is no heating element so don't expect your dishes to be dry at the end of the cycle. Bosch claims it has a passive drying system whereby steam condenses on the walls of the steel tub instead of your dishes. Well, that happens to some degree maybe. Get used to drying by letting them sit with the door ajar or open-- for the better part of the day. Aside from all that, it's very quiet. Amazingly quiet compared to the old machine. It cleans very well. You get alerts on your phone when the wash is complete or rinse agent levels are low, etc. Overall I'm happy with the purchase so far. Just hope the extra outlay of cash translates to reliability and extended life. For the dishwasher that is. I am what I am.

I am pleased with our new Bosch dishwasher. I like the stainless insides. It does not fully dry dishes within the cycle time. Also adjusting to fitting pans, etc in, seems smaller. Like how quiet it is! Enjoy the top rack too.

I've run this Series 300 dishwasher 3 times now. I researched Drying Options prior to buying. This model featured the "Pure Dry" described as follows: ..."With PureDry® drying technology, moisture is gently whisked away from dishes as they cool..." First 2 Cycles I used were: -SPEED 60- -AUTO- ( Both with EXTRA DRY Option OFF ) Both cycles DESTROYED my plastics, and chipped paint off thermos bottles. ( Items that I had been washing for years in my old Bosch, without this problem. ) I called Bosch Customer Service to see if there was a way to minimize the Heat on this machine. They said I could not wash plastics and enameled items in this machine. :( What a disaster. So I decided to experiment with the different Cycles & Options, that are best explored in the Bosch " Home Connect "APP. [ Trying to get these Settings on the machine's front panel requires such a convoluted sequencing of buttons and timing... honestly I gave up, and resorted to downloading the APP on a WiFi tablet I have at home ] After experimenting with the different Options & Cycles, here is the one that I have had the best results for my plastics, thermos bottles, etc : < Through the APP > Programme Assistant : ∆ WINE GLASSES Dirtyness Level: ∆ LIGHT Priorities: ∆ CLEANLINESS ----- The above combo will wash in the "DELICATE with ECO" mode. Cycle Water Temperature is 113⁰, and Drying is at a 1½ of 3 level. So far so good. Everything comes out squeaky clean. I do not need nuclear fission heat levels to wash & dry my dishes. I am happy with my Dishwasher now. I hope Bosch reads this review, and uses it to help others that are about to return the machine to the store... When I started this review I was going to give it 1 Star...but once I got the Cycle + Option figured out, the machine cleans & performs at a 5. ( Would have liked to upload pictures, but website keeps failing to upload )

The dishwasher works well and is very quiet as described in Consumer Reports. You really need to use both extra dry and sanitize to get the dishes to dry well. What is really horrible is the software needed to use certain features such as setting a rinse and hold feature, only available via software and not a button setting. Also while there is a clean LED, it only stays on for minutes after the wash. I enquired and Bosch said it was to save energy, If the LED stayed on for the life of the washer, it would be just a very small fraction of the total power usage of the appliance. Bosch was very good at customer interaction, but not necessarily ready to make any changes, even though it may only be a "software" update. What next, a WiFi interface for your toaster!

This Bosch 300 replaced a Whirlpool that broke down/flooded after only a couple years. So far Bosch is excellent; 60 min cycle that really cleans; third rack is far more useful than one I had before. 3rd rack can hold silverware and they come out spotless. I have already recommended this mode to my parents.

I love this Bosch 300 Series 24" Front Control Smart Built-In Stainless Steel Tub Dishwasher with 3rd Rack and AquaStop Plus. We had to replace our previous dishwasher because my husband accidentally splashed water on it, causing the computer part to die—dishwasher not waterproof, how ironic! However, this new Bosch model has been a solid replacement and did not disappoint. This dishwasher is the quietest one I have ever owned, operating at just 46dBA. It’s incredibly powerful, and all my dishes come out perfectly clean every time. The 3rd rack is a fantastic feature, providing extra space for utensils and smaller items. The stainless steel tub feels sturdy and durable, and the AquaStop Plus technology offers great peace of mind against potential leaks. One of my favorite features is how easy the filter is to clean. The design angles the dishes in a way that makes them easy to stand up, unlike my old dishwasher. Overall, it’s a solid purchase, and I highly recommend it. Let's hope my husband won’t splash water on this one!

Love how quiet it runs and how clean my dishes are. The only complaint I have is that it requires internet and an app to run. Once the app is installed, it just becomes a matter of pressing buttons on the front of the dishwasher for it to run cycles. Some things shouldn't need an app to work.

This dishwasher is super quiet with everything except draining. I'm very impressed with that. Also, it holds a lot more dishes than our old one did. With just the two of us, we run out of dishes before it is full, lol. We have used it between 5-10 times & it washes pretty well. We had one time that it didn't do a good job - we're not sure why. It is terrible when it comes to drying. I'm not sure why they can't make these new machines get hot enough to evaporate the water. Sure, our old machine left some water on plastic. But this machine leaves water on most things. Especially plastic & silverware. It would be good to be able to leave the door open just a couple of inches, but it's either closed or all the way open. And the racks seem flimsy when compared to our old machine, and they don't glide in & out as smoothly as our old ones did. One thing missing is a light that says the dishes are clean. There is no indicator for that.

Not at all happy with the BestBuy store that we went. We had few questions about this, so went to the store. Met 3-4 BustBuy associates, all these people are trying to escape from us, and they are we dont know anything about this dishwasher! Really upset with the response from these associates! Regarding this product: Cleaning quality is really good, but disappointed with the Dry Quality. We tried all the options, but its not able to dry fully. Also, the installers didn't tighten the screws properly, and because of that, there are scratches in the lid.

Very quiet. Cleans great. Doesn't dry the best even after the extra dry cycle, feels like the washer never heats up. The configuration fits a out 30% more dishes then the old dishwasher.

I love this matching. Very silent! My only point is the way to organize the rack!

This is our 3rd dishwasher in 6 years and is by far the best. It is so quiet, I never hear it! The dishes get exceptionally clean, and we use the 60 minute wash all the time. I like the layout of the racks as my dishes fit well. Definitely recommend.

Customer service, delivery, and installation were all wonderful. The dishwasher is great. Only annoying thing is the clean light doesn’t stay on after the washer finishes and drying could be better. But it’s quiet and cleans very well!

Research and study led me to this product to replace our failing dishwasher. Among many great features was the optional 3rd rack; the quiet, effecient operation of the cycle, the repair history of this product and so much more. After a month of operation, our expectations have all been met. This dishwasher does a great job of cleaning efficiently using a minimum of water and a prompt full cycle. It's everything we wanted in a new dishwasher!
