Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is by far the best cleaning and quietest dishwasher we have ever had. We have lived in 4 different houses in 27 yrs. All we have ever owned is Bosch dishwashers. In my opinion nothing beats a Bosch dishwasher.

I had not heard of Bosch appliances until I researched on Consumer report for a new dishwasher. It seems to do everything I needed without too many bells and whistles. Its a beautiful machine and the racks are fine for the various dishes. I do like the little foldable grids that can hold plastic spoons and other small items. The 3rd upper shelf is good if I could remember to check it! The one major surprise that was not mentioned anywhere was the rinse aid requirement. We have a water softener so rinse aids are no longer an issue with the dishes. The man installing the dishwasher walked me through the control panel and then mentioned that the container for a rinse aid needed to be full in order for the machine to dry the dishes! WHAT?! So for the internal sensors to cue the drying cycle I have to keep rinse gel in the container. That is not an acceptable extra. Other than that I would say it cleans fairly well--not amazingly. The dry cycle is such that it does not melt the plastics placed on the lower rack, so that is nice. Not sure I would buy it again just based on the drying requirement having already paid a lot for the machine that addition seems to be unncessary.

Very quiet and efficient. Takes a bit longer to run cycle than older Bosch model. Does not dry some items very well on regular cycles - probably need extra dry cycle to get it dry.

My 20+ year old dishwasher finally gave out. Without any advance searching I headed over to Best Buy and was very pleased to be guided thru the purchase of this product that both met my price requirements and also had features that were far superior than what I had with prior dishwasher. Very quiet compared to what I had before and also has a nice design for maximizing capacity of dishes.

This is an awesome dishwasher!! You can’t tell it’s running as it is super quiet!!!you can be standing right by the dishwasher and you won’t hear it! It cleans even baked on casserole dishes. Just scrape off food, no need to pre-rinse before putting dishes in the washer. I highly recommend this Bosch 300 series dishwasher!

This is a great choice only if you like a super quiet dishwasher that really gets your dishes clean... the easy to get to food trap is a bonus, along with the utensil top rack to maximize space. Much bigger inside dimensions than our previous older model, with an all interior stainless finish...

Went from a Samsung that did a terrible job to this quiet Bosch which does an amazing job. When you start and it gets going, honestly its hard to know its running. It does an amazing job and does require Finish Jet Dry, and the results are clean, sparkling glasses. Incredibly happy with this purchase!

Quiet and easy to use without much effort with loading. Works amazing. Glass/metal objects dry well. Only issue is the lower rack slides out of place quiet easily.

This is the nicest dishwasher I've ever owned. It's so quiet I wasn't sure it was actually running at first. Gets dishes super clean, it's easy to use, and the third shelf rack is super handy.

The sales person warned me that Bosch washers don't have a heating coil for drying, so my dishes might be a little wet at the end of the cycle. I did not find that to be the case. The dishes, even plastic ware, are dry. I started with the automatic setting, and it works great, so I haven't tried other settings. I expect to try the "half load" option, but I haven't had a chance yet. Other plus points: The upper (actually middle) rack can be raised to allow for taller items in the bottom. I was able to wash a cutting board that did not fit in my previous washer. The washer is so quiet you can hardly hear it even when in the kitchen. The water draining is noticeable, but is still not very loud.

I purchased this based on reviews of the machine. It's SOOOO quiet and the machine is dry inside by using the Sanitize and extra dry options. Also, leave the washer closed for hours after washing. We wash at night (it's very quiet, you won't even know it's running) and then put the dishes away in the am. Works great and the inside is dry!!! (and dishes are SOOO clean!

super quiet and easy to load it holds a lot more dishes than our last one

Really good dishwasher. We had a construction grade GE that could be heard thru the entire house. This is really quiet and cleans well. It was easy to install too.

We’re very pleased with the new Bosch dishwasher. It’s efficient, cleans dishes very well without the need for prewashing and operates very quietly. The top rack for knives and longer stirring spoons, etc. is a welcomed addition. So, this is a very fine purchase and I’d gladly recommend this appliance.

This is a fantastic dishwasher. So quiet. Love the rinse option, since we are just a family of 2 the dishes sit in the dishwasher for several days before it is full. The rinse cycle lets us rinse the dishes in between loads to keep it from getting to stinky and awful. It washes the dishes very well, have not found one dish that had to be re-washed.

Our small (6-7 person) office has had 3 dishwashers in 13 years. It gets less use than it would have in a 5-member family because it's only run once a day about 4 days a week (and not at all on weekends.) So I guess the first two we had weren't very good. But I've waited 4 months to review this Bosch just to make sure I knew the unit. THIS THING IS AMAZING!! Whoever designed this machine hit it outta the park!! EVERY single complaint I had about the old machines or dream I had for a new one has been addressed, fixed, corrected, implemented!! It has so many cool design features that it's not even funny! [Plate racks that let you adjust for the number and thickness of the dishes you want to wash / upper pull-out basket has rows on both sides for glasses and cups--with each side's row of a slightly different width / a fold-down "holder" for stemmed wine glasses / Easy "Drop-Down" adjustment on the upper pull-out basket if you need more room up top and less height on the bottom/ Removable utensil baskets with separate "fold back" covers / Utensil covers with "holes" of varying sizes to accommodate knives and forks WITH LARGER WIDTH HANDLES / Utensil baskets of varying DEPTHS (so smaller spoons don't fall down the rabbit hole and disappear!) / A REMOVABLE-WASHABLE FOOD FILTER/STRAINER ON THE FLOOR OF THE DISHWASHER :-O / And a bonus pull-out "drawer" at the top especially for longer knives and utensils! It has an actual HEATER to help dry the dishes, but because of that, we can now adjust the washing and drying cycles to something shorter than A DAY AND A HALF!! (Seriously...shortest cycle on the dishwasher before this one was over 3 hours because it had no heating element. It was counting on the residual heat from the wash water to "dry" the dishes---which rarely actually happened. But best of all, it actually cleans the dishes! And it does so with hardly any noise! (Disclaimer: we DO make it a practice to pre-rinse, but we did that before and there would STILL be gunk with both of the old dishwashers.) My only beef is that we still have water left over in the wells of any concave bottom cups or mugs we wash. But with so much else going for it, I can live with that!!] -- This Bosch wasn't the Top-of-the-line, price-wise, but it sure behaves like it!! I'd happily recommend the Bosch 300 Series dishwasher to anyone wanting a good-looking, quiet, flexible, fully-featured, efficient dishwasher for their home or small office. Both thumbs enthusiastically WAY UP!!

Quiet, Quiet, and Quiet. Holds a lot and wash them perfectly.

I don't write reviews too often, but since I read countless reviews for this purchase, I am paying it back (so to speak!). The dishwasher was installed about 2 months ago. To say I researched before buying is an understatement. We needed to replace a Kitchen Aid that came with the house we bought 3 years ago. It just wasn't cleaning the dishes anymore. There's a reason why Consumer Reports gives their top 3 spots to Bosch. I have never owned a dishwasher that cleaned this well!! The dishes come out sparkly clean, smelling fresh (Cascade Platinum) and completely dry. And the auto cycle runs just over 2 hours. Not bad at all. I wasn't sure I'd like the control panel being visible, vs. my old machine which had them hidden on the top. Now I actually prefer that the controls are visible. I can see exactly how long is left before the cycle ends. My one and only gripe, and it's negligible, is that it's not as quiet as I thought it would be for a brand new machine. But I'd buy again in a heartbeat. If you're hesitating, don't! Highly recommended!!

I love my new dishwasher with the 3rd shelf. Easy to use. Energy efficient. Cleans so much better than my old one. This dishwasher is so quiet you can be in the same room and hardly notice it running.

The dishwasher is extremely quiet and cleans very well. Only complaint is that it doesn't turn off when it's done. I haven't figured out how to change the settings.
