Ratings & Reviews for Bosch 100 Series 24-in Top Control Built-in Dishwasher ( Custom Panel Ready ) , PrecisionWash and Extra Dry Option , 48-Decibel

Installs and Operates as expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced a 2-star Whirlpool Custom Panel dishwasher after 12 years of tolerance. Many friends and family recommended Bosch despite the higher prices relative to other brands. The installation was straightforward, but the door panel installation was frustrating. A large paper template was provide. Instructions about marking the screw hole location were confusing at best. I got it very wrong the first time. Fortunately, I was able to corr...

Bosch is great! Improve Installation Scheduling

We have always loved Bosch dishwashers. We have been buying them since the 1990's. The installers were great. The only criticism I would offer from this experience is that it is incredibly inconvenient to be given a date, but not be able to know a window for delivery & installation until the night before. That makes planning life around the delivery far more difficult than it really needs to be IMO. Leaving an entire day open is not very customer friendly.

Bosch Dishwasher

Very nice looking stainless steel unit

Good buy.

The 100 series is not the top of the Bosch line, but our new dishwasher cleans the dishes as if it was the most expensive model available.

The most hated product I've ever purchased

I've never disliked a product more than this one. It is infuriating to use. 1: The control panel and mode selection is terrible. I have to turn it on and off while holding down for 4 seconds to "reset" the machine, at least 3 or 4 times, every time I want to change the wash mode. It just won't do it. I can't believe how hard it is to simply change a mode. Typically, it will just auto start the last mode, even without me hitting the start button. 2: Nothing is ever dry. Even on "extra dry" mod...

Tub walls stay wet and feel like plastic.

Apparently there is no heater to dry the interior, so droplets of water stay on the interior walls. I'm concerned about eventual mold. bacteria, and odor issues. Furthermore, the specs claim the interior material is stainless steel, but if you tap it, it's pretty cheesy. I wish I'd just repaired my old Bosch instead of replacing it.

Utensil basket sits in the middle of bottom shelf

I do not like that the utensil basket sits in the middle of the bottom rack which prevents the placement of plates and pans. There is wasted space around the basket due to its placement. Our previous dishwasher (different brand) had a long basket along the side. I could get a lot more plates and pans, etc. Also, this dishwasher is always wet inside. The dishes dry but the inside of the dishwasher is always wet. Was not the case with my previous dishwasher. Very disappointed.

Long deliver time (13 days)

Regret My Purchase

I replaced a older Kenmore dishwasher with this Bosch, and I really wish I had just tried to get the Kenmore repaired. Don't ask me how since it fits into the same size space in my kitchen, but the top rack is smaller than my old one. I need 4 rows for glasses, can't do that with Bosch unless you put glasses over prongs sticking up which I've read is not advisable. The bottom rack holds more plates than my old dishwasher, but the prongs are so close together it's hard to slide them into place...

Bad rinse aid dispenser

Before I ever washed a load, had to get it serviced. The rinse aid dispenser is leaking and not holding fluid. Part is on order.

Very noisy terrible racks

I’m not picky about a dishwasher. The last one I had was a Bosch and it lasted over 10 years. This new one is noisier, takes longer to wash and the racks are terrible. There is a big gap in the middle of the bottom that nothing will fit in and the spikes are too close together so you have to skip a spike and waste space. Utensil holder is too small. Do not buy it! If I could return mine I would.

Bosch dishwasher

Top rack does not accommodate cups, glasses very well. You have to Select “extra dry” or dishes are still wet the next morning. There is no light left on once it’s done. Hard to know if dishwasher has completed cycle or even run. Dishwasher is very quiet when it runs.

Terrible product

Not as quiet as advertised and doesn’t clean the dishes without water spots
