Bought after having multiple dishwasher go out on me. Fingers crossed this one holds up. So far so good. Love the third rack for silverware and the adjustable level for top rack when needing to add taller pots or pans inside bottom rack. The dish washer is quiet and has a childlock mode which comes in handy being a mom of littles! Feels plasticity but has held up well. The dishes dont always come out dry just minimal drops which doesnt bother me. I love it so far and it cleans well, will be back if that changes!

Bosch 300 Series Review

It does an excellent job washing. It is whisper quiet. My only complaint is the way the interior is set up. It is recommended that "all dishes face the center," but the way the tines are all angled in the same direction is weird (in the lower rack, back row). In the upper rack, the "bumps" on the side rows force the angle the wrong way, making bowls hold water because they are leaning backward. My former Maytag dishwasher did not have this problem!

My previous cheap builder dishwasher died twice after a year and I needed a replacement fast. After doing some research I landed on this unit but it was sold out everywhere locally for weeks except BestBuy. This unit came with free installation and was delivered and installed less than 24 hours from ordering! Installation was very professional, looks great, feels solid, no leaks. The Bosch 300 dishwasher is very quiet in comparison to the builder one even though more expensive units are quieter. Very pleased with the Google Home integration as now I can ask it how much time is left on the dishwasher. You can also program it on a schedule which is awesome for keeping the sink empty if you are one of those who forgets to start it. Wake up, empty, load detergent, and load as used throughout day. Great feature. Only downside I've seen after a month of use is that I will come back to the dishwasher with no indication that it has run. The 'clean' indicator light usually turns off before I have a chance to see it. Not a big deal if you run on the schedule like I do. Dries great for me with rinse aid in the chamber. Highly recommend!

This dishwasher was recommended to me because I had a Samsung that died. I definitely appreciate the Bosch Legacy, but as expensive as this dishwasher was, it honestly should be doing a much better job than it is. The third rack at the top is nice except that it interferes with any tall glasses that you would want to put on the second show. Obviously you can remove the third rack, but then there would be nowhere to put spatulas and other larger utensils. The bottom rack at first glance seems to have a lot of room but as soon as you start putting plates and bowls in it there becomes a lot of unused space that would not safely hold anything. I'm also very disappointed with the utensils rack as you only have the option to separate the utensils or remove the grid all together. You can't have some space where the utensils are separated and then an open space for bigger serving spoons and tongs. You either get separated utensils or you get everything bunched together. I was very surprised on the normal setting that some of my glassware did not get completely clean. So I have had to run it on heavy cycle always in order to get everything clean and sanitized. And I'm even the type of person who wipes down the dishes before loading the dishwasher so it's not because there's caked on food or debris. All In all, this dishwasher could easily have been half its price.

Cleans well, but Clean Indicator light turns off way before opening to empty. Goes dark 10 minutes after cycle ends when no one is there to see that it was run and clean. Not helpful, poor design. Requested a firmware update.

It doesn't dry, The lights won't stop flashing, it beeps non stop and it makes a groaning noise until you unplug it. We bought the service plan through Best Buy and they sent us to Bosch who is trying to tell us that the non stop beeping is normal and to just open the dishwasher to dry. If Best Buy will only come out to service it once the warranty is over, why does my plan date start from the day we .make our purchase. We've had it 2 months. Very disappointing experience all the way around.

After our brand new maytag dishwasher, drain line leaked and flooded the kitchen. We decided to get a better unit. We looked at the Bosch and the body of the Bosch is a lot better sealed with less points of potential leaking. The Bosch is also easier to install and is just a better unit overall. Are only disappointment with the Bosch is that it doesn't seem to dry the dishes very well. We have put in the finish jet dry. It seems to improve it a little but it still doesn't lead to dry dishes. Not a huge deal. It's still better than washing by hand. The dishes do come out super clean. Dishwasher is also very quiet and the app is very neat to be able to control some of the aspects of the dishwasher. Overall I would purchase it again and just manually dry the dishes if needed.

Hi ChadD! Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're glad to hear that you found the Bosch dishwasher easier to install and appreciate its quiet operation and cleaning performance. Our dishwashers use an energy-efficient condensation drying system called PureDry™, which may require some adjustments for optimal results. For tips on improving drying, please reach out to our customer care team at 1-800-944-2904 or [email protected]. We’re here to help!

This dishwasher does an impeccable job of washing dishes. It is also very quiet. This model has a third rack for flatware that I think is a must. It's easy to loud flatware by type and size making it easy to remove when clean and put away in order. Definitely worth it. This model is wifi equipped and has an APP. I have only used the APP to program a favorite mode that I can activate from a button on the front panel. This is an excellent option for most people who want some of the high end features of the higher series but don't care to spend a lot of money on a dishwasher. It strikes a happy medium. The stainless steel makes this a handsome addition to my kitchen. One important thing to note: Place Setting Capacity is 12, so if you anticipate needed more or less check out other models. I find 12 works very well for me and my small household.

Nice Quiet Dishwasher the Cleans Very Well

Installation was quick and easy with the only difficulty being threading on the new dishwasher elbow without cross threading it. The front adjustment port/slot for the rear leveler made leveling a breeze.
Racks are different than my 20 year old GE but after a few weeks now we are used to them and large pots, bowls, etc fit just fine. We were able to wash our entire service for 12 in it as our first test load. The smaller flatware basket is appropriate since most now goes in the third rack.
The automatic sensor cycle with sanitize is now our default as it gets everything clean while most often using about 30% less water and energy than the heavy duty cycle. Nice too is that the rust stains on the rims of plates and bowls from the old dishwashers rusty racks are clearing up.
The WiFi application was easy to install and helps you track energy usage and alerts you to cycle completion even when you're out working in the yard, etc. The notification when the rinse aid is getting low is a very nice touch.
Except for the usual problem items most things are dry enough when the cycle completes to put them away without having to use the Extra Dry option.
Bottom line is its a nice quiet dishwasher that cleans very well at a reasonable price.

Unit is quiet, cleans and dries everything on the one hour setting. Top rack is not as useful as advertised. Bottom rack could be better designed. Hard to place many dishes on curved design. Sturdy racks.

This dishwasher cleans extremely well. We don't rinse plates, pots etc as per the instructions and everything comes out sparkling clean in about 2 hours. It's also very quiet, you can barely tell it's on! The 3rd shelf for flatware is great- nothing gets stuck together and you can load it to only touch the handles of everything since everything lays on its side and is held by the plastic shelf. The interior seems more sturdy, too. The tines that hold the plates in our old dishwasher broke off too easily.

The almost "Right Choice" for me.

Dishwasher works as expected. I did try to save a few bucks and got a "cheaper" Bosch model. It's a solid unit that does the job. Be aware that we do not put anything in the machine without hand rinsing it first. So, no real dirty items go in. The only thing I would have liked would be to have adjustable tines on the racks. Some dishwashers have tines that can be folded down or removed to make room for larger items. This does not have that. Maybe the next series up includes that?
Be aware, this unit does NOT have a drying heat element. It uses the coolness of the interior Stainless to condensate and collect the steam to "dry" the dishes. After the door has been left open for a while after the cycle completes, we use a dish towel to dry the dishes before storing them.
This was purchased entirely online and I did not have the chance to see it in person at the store. I don't believe it was on display anyway.
Overall, my Wife and I do like it. We're happy, but could be a little happier for the $800 plus I spent on it.
Also, I did not connect it to my home Wi-Fi. I can't report on that functionality.
Side note: I had it delivered and installed by Best Buy. Great job. Professional, courteous and very well done.

Bosch 300 Series 24” Front Control Smart Built-In Stainless Steel Tub Dishwasher with 3rd Rack – 46 dBA
I recently upgraded to this Bosch 300 Series dishwasher, and it’s been a game-changer in my kitchen! The noise level is whisper-quiet. It has a sleek stainless steel design that looks great and matches my other appliances. The third rack is super handy for utensils and smaller items, freeing up space in the lower racks. The adjustable middle rack is also a nice touch, allowing for the fitting of taller pots and pans. It cleans dishes thoroughly, even after big meals,
It’s a solid choice if you want quiet, reliable performance and flexible loading options. Highly recommended!

Very nice dishwasher! Was looking at the more expensive models as they included installation. After reading reviews the installation was not given high marks so we decided on this model & saved $$. Installation was a breeze save for the drain connection which is not included. Only one trip to the hardware store solved the issue. I like the ability to level the machine after installation as it takes the guesswork out of the equation. Machine is definitely quieter than our Maytag & does a better job cleaning. The drying cycle also does very nice even though it does not have a heating element. Great buy!!

One stupid flaw caused us to return it.

I mean the one stupid flaw made us return it!
It's a good dishwasher. It's quiet, it cleans dishes, doors, tub, and racks seem solidly made. It doesn't have the fold-down tines which were advertised; I guess OUR 300 series unit was low-end and I didn't realize the cool 300 series features like flexible loading would be missing. But we could live with that.
What made us return it: When the cycle is over the CLEAN lite comes on and the BRAIN DEAD goes off after 15 minutes. So the next family member doesn't know if this ism a clean load or a dirty load in there.
Bosh said this is a feature to save energy. But that CLEAN LED would probably use 5 cents of energy in a year. And there is no fix.
We want a dishwasher that says CLEAN or ENFD after the wash and will stay on until the thing is opened. We sent it back and bought an LG.
