Customer Reviews for Bosch 300 Series 24 in. Custom Panel Ready Top Control Tall Tub Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub and 3rd Rack, 44dBA

Works with IKEA 24x30 door. Very quiet. Water seal around top leaves a little to be desired.. it’s thin and any pinch in the rubber and it will leak. Had to lower unit a little further than I would like after panel was installed to avoid that, so now the door is an 1/8” lower than cabinet doors on either side. Hoping granitegrabbers to attach the front instead of the metal cross-brace will eliminate the pinching and allow me to raise it back up. Overall really like it and the top silverware rack.

I've waited a bit to write this as I wanted to ensure I got over the thrill of new to give an accurate look at it, plus getting the door made. We've had for about 5 months now. First - do NOT get your door made before you get installed. Live with it (it has a recessed handle on it) and make sure you or your cabinet guy look over the job well, best to probably make a test one out of some plywood to ensure you get the size right. I had one made not thinking the bottom at the hinge needed to go between the cabinet opening so I had to rip it down to get the width right. Of course that didn't look right so I had another one made, but fancied it up. I didn't want it to just look like a dishwasher with a big cabinet door so I had a fake cabinet built with a fake drawer and a fake set of doors . I'll add a pic. While waiting on your door, I would also recommend adding the plywood or just wood as soon as you can as the door springs are set to have more weight on them and lets just say my wife and I had injured elbows for a few weeks. Really no cons to it, if I had to pick one maybe that it holds too many dishes because then unloading takes a looooong time compared to the old one. I can not rinse well, stack/load poorly and the auto setting still cleans everything up. The third rack does have some dead spots in the corners for heavy soiled items so rinse a bit better up there. The dry cycle works as advertised as well. Kinda cool how it works but since our old Kitchen aid never dried well we never used the dry cycle to save energy. Since this really doesn't use any we do, plus it is awesome. It is as quiet as reviewed, most times cannot hear it when the TV is on in the next room (open concept living space) only when the rinse ejects into the disposer do you hear that water sound. Don't overthink it; spend the extra and get this or I would imagine any of the 800 series. Still can't believe I'm dorking out on a dishwasher.... Be well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Couldn't ask for a better dishwasher. Quiet and powerful. Blends in nicely with our kitchen cabinets, panels easy to install.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned a Gagganau dishwasher for 23 years. Yes, the same machine and it survived our three kids and their kids. It was basically indestructible. I was sad when the dishwasher stopped running and of course after 23 years there were no readily available parts. I chose to stay with a high quality brand and Bosch has owned Gagganau for years. My wife and I are thrilled with our new Bosch machine it has a lot of new features, fits perfectly in our cabinets and I'm betting it will be running long after we are gone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Powerful, quiet, sleek. The red light that show it's powered on is modern and elegant. My only qualm is I wish the beeping to signal the wash is finished had more options. It's quite a utilitarian metallic beeping.

I finally got an explanation about Bosch dishwashers. Apparently, the 500 and up series have their CrystalDry technology which works very well. The 100 and 300 series do not have this technology; the drying technology they have does not work very well. So, if you get one of the 100 or 300 series you will most likely have to dry your dishes at least some of the time.

DO NOT BUY! First dishwasher delivered was damaged. Second one installed and the Bluetooth doesn’t work. Basic functions like rinse and hold are not available on the dw because it runs through the app. Is this some designers idea of a joke? The app should be a backup to a fully functional machine. Don't waste your money!

I have owned others Bosch dishwasher before, and we replaced a 15 years old 300 series with this new one. It washes a bit better than the old one and dries pretty much the same which means it could be better (we use jet dry and everything needed). The old one was rated for 49 or 51 db noise and this one despite the rating of 46db is making 48 db most of the times, sometimes it goes down to 44db, If the home is quiet, you will notice it a bit of water noise even from 15 feet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We replaced an older Bosch dishwasher with a new one. The former one was 15 years old. We like the new features of the new model and it is quieter too. The older one was fine and still working but we felt it was time to replace it rather than have it stop working, if that would even be the case.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our 2nd Bosch dishwasher. I loved the first one. Lasted 18 years but the cycle length was ridiculously long. On this new one, I love the cycle length!! much quicker BUT It is not as easy to switch to different lower types or start a cycle. It's much more complicated to turn on and off etc. it cleans very well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never thought I would find a dishwasher worth it's salt. Then I found Bosch! What agreat addition to our family. We LOVE it! No complaints!

This replaced a Bosch dishwasher that lasted 24 years. I love the indicator light that lets you know, from across the room that it is running. I don’t like that this model doesn’t have a ‘clean’ indicator to let you know that it has been run.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with the new dishwasher- for our existing wood panel and extremely quiet. Great to be able to put lots of materials in it since it doesn't use the old drying coils. So far no issues - all dishes come clean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The dishwasher cleans the dishes well. It is not as quiet as the Bosch dishwasher that it replaced, but it's still quiet. The only thing Bosch needs to work on is making sure this dishwasher has adjustable springs to make it easier to lower the door. I feel like it's a pretty good workout just to lower the door and because the springs are so stiff the door doesn't want to stay completely flat at the bottom so when you pull out the bottom tray, it bangs a little bit because it's not completely flat with the track that's inside the dishwasher.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only negative is that there is no way to adjust the tension o the door springs and it takes to much effort to open the door and push it all the way down.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] New dishwasher ie the quietest ever. Glad it has a small red floor light to tell you that it is running since you cannot hear the dishwasher. Dishwasher is roomy for a big load and cleans very efficiently. Would highly recommend this model to others.

I see at least two reviews about the door- it snaps shut and is a nuisance, but could also break a finger! The installers said it's because the panel is under 11 pounds. Can this be adjusted? Is it a flaw in the design?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had been waiting for our new dishwasher for over 1 1/2 years (supply chain issues from 2021) and had forgotten what it was like to have a convenient way to clean. This model is superior to our old one in that there are movable racks and more washing options. I'm glad it has a red light illuminated on the floor when it's running because it's so quiet I sometimes forget it's running. I wish it had come with more user instructions but finding YouTube videos was very helpful to learn about all the new features this dishwasher has. I'm glad we waited for (and didn't give up on) this new dishwasher. One of the reasons we waited for this specific model is that we wanted to install our wood door so the dishwasher would blend in with the cabinets. Now my kitchen is once more complete.

Very happy with this dishwasher. Install was straightforward, just had to extend drain hose due to cabinet location. Mounting the door panel was straightforward as well with the included template. Cleans and dries extremely well and is entirely silent.

Does dry plastics well. Wish had a different color floor light to indicate cycle done. Be wary of Home Depot installation...our machine is crooked in every possible way and they left kick plate brackets off and used the wrong screws to try to attach it.

The 800 series dishwasher was louder than the 10 year old kenmore elite dishwasher that it was replacing. Extremely disappointed in the quality, I returned it to home depot, and will not buy another bosch dishwasher in the future.

Dishwasher is failing after 2.5 yrs. The 2 people from Bosch I talked w on phone did nothing in regards to my frustration & concerns involving the relatively new dishwasher. The first year it sat in our house while we finished construction, so missed the whole 'one year factory warranty', but needed its water valve replaced & is still making a ton of noise & not rinsing following the $700 repair. Bosch needs to improve customer service attitude (!!!) & improve product performance for cost.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased. Would recommend making the slots for silverware a bit larger. Other than that, we are very pleased.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had to wait 14 months to get this dishwasher. It was worth the wait. It is so quiet in my open concept kitchen/dining/living room.

Works great--easy to operate

With the longevity of the product line and the price, I expected the racks to be more functional. They move out of place too easily in comparison to the kitchenaid dishwasher we had previously. The racks also aren't functional for various sized dishes, or adaptable when a need for difference spacing arises. I will not be purchasing a Bosch dishwasher again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We waited over 1 year for delivery but it was worth the wait! This is by far the BEST dishwasher I have ever used. No need to rinse dishes prior to putting in the dishwasher. They come out clean every time. The cycle takes just over an hour to run.
