What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the dishwasher for exceptional cleaning performance and remarkably quiet operation. Reviewers consistently report dishes come out sparkling clean, even with dried-on food, with many noting this is their second or third purchase. The near-silent functionality is frequently celebrated, with customers mentioning they must check if the machine is running. Some note loading challenges due to closely spaced tines and awkward rack design, requiring adjustment time. A few report drying issues without JetDry or mention rare controller failures. Overall, most customers consider the cleaning power and quietness exceptional strengths that far outweigh minor design drawbacks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] second dishwasher from Bosch..highly recomended!!
From bosch-home.com
Disappointed
After a lot of brand research I chose this item. I was disappointed that I missed it has NO drying at all. The dishes have to be dried before they are put up. But worse- I bought this in May 2022, this summer (May 2025) the blade on the top of the dishwasher just fell off. It was sitting on top of my dishes on the top rack. It's past warranty - but this is clearly not something we did. Poor quality if it just falls off after a couple years despite its higher price and boast of quality.
Quiet Efficiency
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice quiet machine that gets stuff clean. Look sgreat and is eay to operate. We have had Bosch washers before--a;ways happy with them.
From bosch-home.com
good for the first 2 years
After 2 years and 3 months the heating element went bad. worked just fine in the beginning. For over $800 I would expect more. Planned obsolescence is really getting to me. Best advice I've heard lately, when it comes to appliances, buy the cheapest one since you're gonna have to replace it in a few years anyway.

Not Aware
We were not aware that the inside of the dishwasker was smaller than our previous dishwasher. Outside fit in same space. Second item No heating element. Yes we took for granted that the dishwasher would dry the dishes as all the other ones we have had over the past 40 years This was puzzling till we realized there was no heat element. Other than those two issues there is the way the racks are difficult to deal with. The BOSCH was reccomended as the top of the line in dishwashers but we are disap...

Poor materials
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In use less than 1 year. The upper rack has started to hemorrhage rust. Must be a common problem as this part is on national backorder with no estimated date of availability.

Smooth operating machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this dishwasher for about a year and no problems. Easy to clean out strainer and the racks roll out nicely. Controls are simple and straightforward. I would by aBosch dishwasher again.

Reliable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this model for over 3 years and not one problem. I believe this is the basic/cheapest Bosch dishwasher but its performance is nothing to scoff at. Cleans perfectly each time, and so quiet.

Excellent dishwasher
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Washes excellent. Only complaint is dishes don't dry. It would be nice if the door opened at the end of the cycle.
