300 Series 18 in. Stainless Steel ADA Compact Front Control Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub, 46dBA

Hi Nicole, thank you for your question and your interest in Model #SPE53U56UC. Bosch dishwashers do not have hard food disposers. The Bosch® 3 part filter system is designed to prevent the need to pre-rinse normally attached food soils from your dishes. Simply scrape left over food soil off of dishware before loading. This process will conserve time, water and the energy require to heat your household water supply. Your dishwasher filter system is designed to filter 100% of the water entering the spray arms to provide a continuous supply of clean water to remove food soils from your dishware.

Syl, Thank you for your question and interest in Bosch 300 series dishwasher. Your question, according to leading consumer reporting magazine, is the #2 complaint by consumers for all dishwashers. Fortunately, that same leading consumer reporting magazine performed test and determined Bosch dishwasher to be one of the best drying dishwashers available. I would also refer you to the majority of consumer reviews on homedepot.com for this model, you will find the majority of reviews indicate the dishwasher dries well. Bosch dishwashers utilize PureDry™ condensation drying as the basic drying process. PureDry™ is an energy efficient, closed drying system that does not pull in outside air or use an exposed heating element. So you can rest assured that your dishes aren’t just dry, they’re PureDry™. Bosch dishwashers with the PureDry™ system also feature a Sanitize Option that ends each cycle with an extra hot wash, heating the water to 162 degrees and effectively eliminating 99.9% of bacteria. The results are thoroughly clean, sanitized, and dry dishes. With PureDry™ drying technology, moisture is gently whisked away from dishes as they cool. And with no exposed heating element, you can safely place plastics anywhere, even the bottom rack, without fear they will warp or melt. For more information on PureDry™ please go to https://www.bosch-home.com/us/experience-bosch/puredry. Ultimately, the number one recommendation by all dishwasher manufacturers to improve drying is to use rinse aid which causing sheeting action on dishware and sides of tub which allows moisture to sheet off and go down the drain. Number two recommendation by manufacturers is to NOT prewash you dishes, rather simply scrape off food debris and place directly into dishwasher. Today's detergents need the soil from the food to activate the enzymes in the detergent. Without food soil then detergent does not activate and you are left with essentially and long rinse cycle. Also most dishwashers have sensors in the pump which sense the amount of food soil in the water, if the sensors do not detect dirty water then dishwashers will default to lowest energy wash and rinse cycle and wash with shortest and coldest wash & rinse water. This affects cleaning and drying results. Recommendation number three is to select SANITZE option for hottest final rinse temperature which improves condensate drying effect. Finally, bowls, cups, and containers with depressions in the bottoms and lips can collect water. Tilt bowls, cups, and containers so that water runs off the bottoms and lips, DO NOT lay flat. Bosch dishwasher with RackMatic middle racks can be tilted to one side for improved water run off and thus improved drying. If you have any other questions regarding Bosch dishwasher please call Bosch Customer Service at 800-944-2904 for assistance.
