Not Sure Yet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not sure yet. Was woken up at midnight to an alarm and non-stop draining cycle. Had to turn off at the circuit breaker to make sure a fire did not start. Have an appointment with Bosch Tech in a week. I am thankful I bought extended service.

Love my new dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So glad I purchased this dish washer. It works great !
I would recommend this to a friendThe worst we've ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clearly Bosch paid the NYT wirecutter for the ad (given it was their number one pick) as this is, by far, the worst dishwasher we have ever used. Incredibly cheap build, rickety racks that wobble out and derail easily. Terrible loading options that make zero sense from a design standpoint. Louder than you'd think, never a bonus. But by far the worst part is that not only does it not dry the dishes at all, it leave an absolute swamp in there. We must dry every dish and then dry out the entire machine. The door, inconveniently, doesn't crack open to help, it has to be wide open. Being very busy this summer, Best Buy's return window opened and closed almost immediately. What was that, two weeks?! So here we are, stuck with a wildly overpriced and wildly underperforming appliance. Choose any product other than this, believe me. Terrible.

Posted .Hi MichaelM, we're sorry to hear you're not getting the best drying results from your dishwasher. Here are some tips that should help: 1: The use of a rinse agent such as Finish® Jet Dry® rinse aid to help dishes dry faster. 2: For everyday use we recommend the Auto Cycle, which is best for mixed loads of dishes with varying amounts of food soil. 3: Selecting special drying options like Sanitize and Extra Dry, these operate at a higher temperature and help enhance drying results. If these tips do not help improve drying, or you have any further questions, please contact our Customer Support team at 1-800-944-2904 for additional real-time assistance. Thank you.
Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very satisfied with the dishwasher and functioning.
I would recommend this to a friendPoor quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of the dishwasher is terrible. Cheap plastic spray arm, tiny utensil rack in the bottom and top rack so close to the top of machine it barely fits utensils. Dishes are not dry at all when the cycle is complete. Trying to change cycle on machine is not easy, even the Bosch representative I spoke with on the phone couldn’t walk me through it without difficulty. This is my first Bosch appliance and I would never buy a Bosch of any type again.

I would recommend this to a friendBosch dishwasher doesn’t clean or dry well
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher didn’t a terrible job drying and washing. You have to use Finish JetDry to get it to dry at all, otherwise the dishes are soaking wet. JetDry is a chemical used to spray on the dishes to break down the water barrier because they are using less energy to dry dishes. But I don’t want the chemicals on my dishes. I tried using the JetDry and the some of the dishes were still wet but they also had a gritty film on them, especially the 2nd & 3rd shelves. My old dishwasher was a Bosch and I loved it but they have changed them and I wouldn’t buy one again. I returned this dishwasher.

I would recommend this to a friendBuyer beware if you need warranty work?
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Warning, if you have any issues with Bosch products the 1st year best buy can help you. it must be repaired by Bosch! I purchased a dishwasher in Oct 2023 and it work twice and I am still waiting for it to be repaired as of April 16 2024! I paid a $1000 and can't get help from anyone from Bosch. They tolde they don't have anyone in the area to repair it. I ask them why don't you give me a best buy credit so I can get a new one and still no answer.

Expected better from a Bosch.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The shallow, top, third shelf I could do without. A few items fit and get clean okay, but not necessary. The other two shelves are poorly designed...the supports all at angles that make it impossible to stand flat items straight up. When in the store, I was told a Smart phone was not needed to operate the dishwasher...because I asked. At home the manual had CR codes to scan for maintenance instructions...not sure what to do about that. Installation used screws through the upper edge of the machine into the counter - one of the screws broke through the laminate countertop.

Purchase of Bosch dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great service from purchase in store as well as installation
I would recommend this to a friendDW
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works great and is very quiet. I'm so glad I got it.
I would recommend this to a friendSkip This One - Choose A Different Model
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not great. Reputable brand but this model is bad. Washes dishes (especially silverware for some reason) worse than the 20 year old Kenmore dishwasher it replaced. Doesn't dry anything *AT ALL*. This cannot be overstated - THIS MACHINE DOES NOT DRY ANYTHING, EVER. Never had this problem with my previous dishwasher. So, if you buy this one, prepare to hand-dry everything after every load.

Posted .Hi PCarp37, thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing drying issues with this dishwasher model and we apologize for any inconvenience. Here are some tips that should help: 1. Use Finish® Jet Dry® rinse aid to help dishes dry faster. *This doesn't have to be added for each cycle, you fill the reservoir then the dishwasher will indicate when the reservoir is empty and needs to be refilled.* 2. For everyday use, we recommend Auto Cycle, which is best for mixed loads of dishes with varying amounts of food soil. 3. Select special drying options like "Sanitize and Extra Dry". Sanitize operates at a higher temperature to help eliminate bacteria and enhance drying results. 4. When unloading clean dishes, pull out lower racks first to avoid dripping water from the upper rack. If these tips do not help improve drying, please contact our Customer Support team at 1-800-944-2904 for additional assistance. Thank you.
