This is the second time I’ve bought the 18” dishwasher for a kitchen. It is a fantastic machine. It holds a lot of dishes and it gets them clean without pre-washing.

This dishwasher is so quiet you don't even know it is on. More than once I had to put my ear to it to verify it was working. Excellent product and I would buy again. I have a smaller version as this was fitted into existed cabinets and it looks great in the kitchen!

Great for small kitchen!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this for our smaller kitchen remodel in a cabin. Pros: small size works great for 2 people, cleans very well Cons: does not dry plastic, smells if dishes left for longer than a few days, long run time, water on inside door after cycle is complete, have to empty right away or moisture on dishes.

    Compact and efficient
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was looking for something that wouldn't take up too much room in my kitchen and this dishwasher was the perfect choice. Leaves my dishes spotless! My only complaint is that the racks are not designed to hold a variety of dishes so I am not able to load my items efficiently.

      Read reviews and they all said that this BOSCH dishwasher was great, but I am not that impressed. It is indeed quiet, but the front interface is archaic, not intuitive and the buttons seem cheap and prone to failure. Even the user manual suggests handing the buttons with care. There is no "clean" indicator light and the only way to know the cycle is done is to look at the LED display showing 0:00 minutes. There is no way to decide whether to use heat dry as an option. The water intake hose that comes attached to the machine has an odd powered component that interfaces with the water valve under the sink. Not sure of its function but if it fails, it appears that it will not be an easy or cheap repair. Finally, door is hard to open and unless it is mostly fully opened, the door spring rapidly pulls the partially opened door closed.

      The dishwasher was installed by a licensed plumber a week ago. It is very quiet but it takes a long time to wash and dry the dishes. It however did a good job cleaning and drying the dishes.

      It is indeed super quiet and looks great in the kitchen. It does not dry very well on any combo of settings tried. Will look into.

      This unit is quiet and simple to use. The wash cycle is very long, however. It takes over two hours to clean a load of dishes. I wish there were a way to run a shorter wash cycle….

      This is the quietest dishwasher we have ever owned. Plus, it sanitizes and delivers clean dishes, pots, and pans. I would recommend this Bosch dishwasher to everyone.

      Had to read directions to operate because labeling wasn't typically what you see. Sanitize=Heat Does a great job washing dishes. Very quiet too. Disappointed in Home Depot installation. Dishwasher arrived dented so had to reschedule getting the dishwasher and installation. First installer with the dented dishwasher had no problem installing if product hadn't been dented. Installer with the second dishwasher refused to install because there was no handle on the shutoff valve. Had it installed by a plumber.

      Great for a small space
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for a small space. Extremely quiet. Cleans well. Have yet to see any residue left on dishes after a wash. I've only used the Auto cycle. My only complaint is that the door sticks. After several attempts at pulling it open each time the door warped and then the leaked as a result. I was able to put force into it and get it back into place. But I do think the door should open more easily on its own. I have to be very careful each time.
