Good dishwasher, not so good app
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher works really well and gets my dishes clean. I would have given it five stars but the app that you need to use to get all the features is not working with my Android phone.

Worth the sale price.....
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Previous dishwasher was a Bosch that died after just over 3 years (outside of warranty of course), but the space in our kitchen was built for Bosch only so we picked up this one. The previous Bosch did a superior job at both washing and drying. For this dishwasher I highly suggest washing off ALL dishware before putting it into this machine. Also, be ready for waterspots on pretty much everything, something the previous Bosch didn't do, so its not a problem with the chosen soap or the water supplying the unit. The silverware tray is an absolute tragedy. You will want to purchase a different tray to live in your unit, as the one that comes with this dishwasher is garbage and arranges your silverware in a way where it will get bathed, but not washed. So, if your silverware has particulates on them when they go in, they will have particulates on them when they come out. Lastly, the trays are not well laid out, so the opportunities to get your bowls, cups and glasses to fit snuggly are few and far between, thankfully my wife and I grew up with Tetris. Overall, I rated it as: 1 star for being functional and fitting the space, 1 star for controls on the front, instead of hidden on the top, and 1 star for not having to burn my hands everyday washing dishes.

Good but maybe not worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Install wasn’t complete. There were screws at the bottom of the dishwasher. Also the install team did not attach the dishwasher to the counter above it so when opening the drawers the machine tips forward. Dishwasher itself is fine but doesn’t dry well.

Bosch 300 Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We like front panel diswashers and this one has a nice panel. Bosch's drying system is a bit different but we are very pleased at how well it works; just give things an extra hour to really dry. The third drawer is a godsend for obsessive people who like to line up their silverware for washing (a bin is also provided for those who aren't as obsessive) The prongs on the other racks are good for plates, cups and glasses but bowls are harder to place without taking up a lot of extra space. Lastly, the only place to check whether a wash cycle is done is via wifi, (or just looking inside), there isn't an "all done" light - this is just a minor issue but would be nice to have because setting up the wifi app isn't easy.

Catlady
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very quiet normal cycle about 2.5 hours. Lots of room to load plates but more limited for bowls big and small as well as glasses and mugs. Top shallow shelf for flatware and very small bowls and lids be sure to put right side up is actually almost wasted space. Takes time to load spoons, forks etc in to little slots. Too much water at end of cycle. Need to use extra dry feature. This is 300 series. I was not interested in too many “bells and whistles.”

Bosch Is The Only Dishwasher To Buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses come out clean and beautiful. My wife loves the third rack for the silverware. The only thing that we didn't like was the installation. Our last dishwasher was hard wired. This one required a wall plug. I was not told this by the salesperson or on any of the pre-delivery instructions. I would have had it ready. Installer said we could reschedule or he could install a wall plug for $150. I told him just to leave the dishwasher and I would install it. Spent $20 in parts for the wall plug and did the install. Everything works great.

Great dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this recently. Dishes are clean every time. Only thing I do not like is the smaller utensil holder that barely holds anything. Previous Bosch builds had larger storage for utensils.

Requires app to use all wash cycles
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this dishwasher and find it very frustrating to use. Firstly, you *must* install the very clunky app to use some of the wash & rinse cycles/features. I don't need yet-another door for hackers to break into my router, so I removed wifi access after initial configuration. The processor in the dishwasher is painfully underpowered, causing a delay when pressing buttons. Result is, you're not sure if it recognized the button press or not. I do *not* recommend this dishwasher.

New Bosch 309 dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy installers did a great job, they knew what they were doing. I prefer Bosch, last one lasted a long time. I bought the 300 series. It's quiet, cleans well. Only "cons", it doesn't have a "quick wash" and for two people that works best. Also, Bosch has moved the silverware holder to the back side, it was much easier to load when it was on front side. All in all, I would buy again as I believe Bosch is well made.

A really well designed dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We've had it for a month, and really like it. It's quiet, easy to use, easy to install (the ability to just plug it in without dealing with wires is wonderful), and has enough features to make it very useable but not burdensome.

App is a big help, but would be nice to know when dishwasher has finished without the app. Also, still figuring how best to load the dishes to efficiently use the space.

great dishwasher!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Bosch 300 does a great job drying, especially when using a rinse aid. I barely have to wipe anything. Even the plastics get dry (the lips on the plastics will always have some water depending on how they are placed) It is very quiet except when the water drains (the noise comes from the sink). It does a very good job on the 60 minute (speed dry). The longer cycles use less water and energy, so are good if your don't need a fast clean.
