Customer Ratings & Reviews

It seems like, when I told people I was shopping for a new dishwasher when I was heading into the work on redoing my kitchen, just about everyone mentioned Bosch dishwashers and, especially, how quiet they are. That wasn’t the only reason I selected this Bosch 500 Series model but, now that I’ve been living with it for 2-1/2 months, I can certainly ratify their comments and recommendation. And the 500 Series was the sweet spot for me, cost- and feature-wise. AutoAir works fine.

It was a good price for the quality of it. Especially since it was open box.

Got this dishwasher in April 2024 when our last one packed up. In general it is a good dishwasher. The "air dry" or Auto Air is okay, does not always work. I like the hidden controls and the adjustable racks.

Good product cleans well even without the use of jet dry. Only qualm with the dishwasher is that it can only be optimized if you download and use the app. It seems without adjusting wash/dry settings on the app that only basic functions of the dishwasher can be used. The basic functions do not dry well but after downloading and adjusting the settings in the app drying is nearly perfect!

Immediately I had issues with nothing drying after the first few cycles. I’m talking everything is soaking wet. After doing some research, there is a setting within the app that enables a more intensive dry. Ever since enabling that I’ve had no problems.

Our old washer couldn’t get our dishes clean but this Bosch is amazing!

Loving it so far (ony had it 6 weeks) It cleans well. I love that the filter is easy to clean and MAN this thing is quiet. Love the automatic pop open function when it is finished. Let's the dishes continue to dry.

This is a good spacey dishwasher and super quiet. But the autodry feature (opening up to dry) stopped working after a couple weeks. also, there is no rinse function unless you set it by the app.

I've had this dishwasher for about 1 month and I could not be happier. It does a great job of cleaning and drying -- even plastics. I keep it on "normal" and "auto air" and so far everything has come out clean and dry. The technician who installed the dishwasher was fantastic, also.

Bosch makes quality's dishwashers didn't want to spend the extra money but i ordered a competitor and it arrived DOA

Wife is happier as this is a much quieter than the previous dishwasher (not a Bosch). The 3rd rack is being used for silverware and small items like container lids and is a better usage of the space than the previous dishwasher.

Runs very quiet! Everything comes out clean and I enjoy using the app to customize my favorite settings and receiving notifications. They adjustable racks are a nice feature. I only wish the silverware basket was a tad wider. Very happy overall!

Our new home came with a GE dishwasher that was constantly holding water at the bottom. The last time it happened there was no fixing it. We knew we wanted something quiet as the GE could wake the dead. This dishwasher is everything we never knew we needed. It has more space than our last dishwasher and dishes dry spotlessly. We use the recommended products and have no issues. We did decide to use liquid instead of the leftover cascade pods that we had since it didn’t dissolve all the way. Love the stainless steel interior and it is so quiet that I forget that its even running which is a NEED in an open floor plan. I would recommend (and have) to anyone who needs a new dishwasher. And it comes highly recommended by Consumer Reports.

This model is definitely a step up in the sense that there are no physical buttons which can break or malfunction. Instead it has haptic touch controls! Perhaps a little quieter too - includes wireless and / or remote access for the connection to the dishwasher over WiFi.

We're very pleased with the Bosch dishwasher. It replaces a 13 year old unit so the technology and efficiency, both energy and water use, are so much better. And it's so quiet! Sometimes I have to check to see if it's on. The only thing I would change is being able to do a time delay directly on the unit rather than having to install the Home Connect app. Dishwasher was pricey but I anticipate that it will last a long time.

We just got this a few weeks ago. It's working well and an understandably big improvement over our 16-year old dishwasher. We mostly use "automatic" and "rinse" and they work well. A very quiet machine. Having the "rinse" cycle available only through the app is a bit awkward. There are usually just two of us, so we often rinse at the end of the day and wash after two or three days. Still, I set up "rinse" as the "favorite" and now can get it going directly from the machine buttons. We avoid putting plastic in the machine, so don't have any problems getting the loads dried.

It works as intended. No problems loading. Holds long stem wine and martini glasses. Everything fits so far.

Very quiet and does a good cleaning job. This is our second Bosch and i recommend it

This is the best dishwasher I’ve ever had. Granted, the only dishwashers I’ve used have been from the 1980s. We can fit many more items that we fit before, meaning we’ve generally from running a dishwasher daily to every other day, cutting back on our energy and water usage. I love the silverware tray up top. I also love the feature where it pops open to air dry at the end. Our plastic containers dry so much faster this way. Also, being able to program a complex “favorite” routine is great! We’re not limited to singular options any more. I also love the indicator light and the app that tells you when the program will finish running. So far, it’s reliable, quiet, and efficient. Everything is clean and sanitized. It has a nice, sleek look. I can’t ask for more.

We didn't think we could afford a Bosch, but the free installation means this Bosch is only a tiny bit more, in total, than the other dishwasher brands that had lower sticker prices but didn't include installation (which was $268 more)--and those other dishwashers had much lower reviews. Bosch really is the best. Super powerful and quiet (almost silent), and love the stacking racks. Our old dishwasher broke down after 20+ years and flooded our kitchen. Hand-washing drove our water bill sky-high (dishwashers conserve so much more water than hand washing). But Best Buy made everything super easy with online purchase and installation scheduling. We put it on our Best Buy card with zero interest for 18 months. Can't beat it! We don't need the app for remote control, but it's there if you like that. Our installation guy was a top professional--I see other reviewers weren't fond of their installation service, so we got lucky there. LOVE this dishwasher! Soooo glad we went with Bosch.
