    After a little over a year the face plate cracked
    I was pretty pleased with the cleaning power of this dishwasher but soon after the 1 year warranty I experienced an issue with the exterior face plate cracking near the handle. I'm not hard on this appliance. I just opened it one day to load it and it split. I'm pretty disappointed in that. I'm not sure if it is just "cosmetic" or if it will interfere with the functioning of the appliance, but you'd think for the money it wouldn't just crack after about a year.

      3 years in and it is not cleaning dishes. The door is dirty when I open it at the end of a cycle. I have cleaned the filters and spray nozzles. Disappointed in this Bosch dishwasher

        Silverware rack is tiny
        I love Bosch dishwashers but when I received my new dishwasher they no longer have the large silverware rack that runs along the length of the dishwasher. Instead they have a tiny little rack for silverware, unacceptable!! It is not big enough to hold anything!

          I got a lemon
          I bought my Bosch dishwasher 1/15/24, installed on the 24th and It has not worked since DAY 1!!! It’s damaged in the outside as well. On the first cycle, 4 lights went off and there was a loud beep on the rinse cycle. I called Bosch and was given a list of appliance repairers. They came out twice, out in a new control board and it’s still no dice! We had to turn off the circuit breaker so it won’t power back on! Right now I just want a new machine- this one is junk!!! This is ridiculous.

            SUPER silent and elegant, I love it!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is no one single person who comes to our just-renovated house and doesn't admire our kitchen and part of it is because of our beautiful Bosch appliances. The kitchen looks elegant and sofisticated. This dishwasher is super silent, we only know that is working becuase we see the lights and the clock going down. Besides being beautiful and silent, it leaves the dishes super clean and I know it is not the detergent bucause I'm using the same one I used with my previous dishwasher and the dishes wer not as clean and shine as they are now after the washing cycle is complete. One thing I am not 100% satisfied with is the distributon of the racks inside, it has been a bit difficult to place some items. Although we're managing, it could be improved. Overall I am super happy with this dishwasher and all other Bosch appliances I bought. Definetely recommend and will purchase again in the future.

              UNIMPRESSED after 6 mos use.
              Purchased this after high reviews from Wirecutter magazine and Consumer Reports hoping it would solve my problems of dirty dishes experienced with my previous whirlpool models which broke down within 4 years of purchase. 1. Loading has been awkward. Tines are angled meaning fewer dishes can fit overall. Next, the 3rd shelf means less clearance for the items like stemmed wine glasses and plastic containers that used to fit on the 2nd shelf. Thus, I removed the 3rd shelf. More concerning, however, is the fact that my dishes are coming out filthy. Esp on the top rack. Just had 2 glass items placed upside down get sprayed with dirty water from the bottom. Relatively clean dishes are coming out with baked-on filth (see photo). I have soft water but the dishwasher pods are leaving gritty, undisolved detergent flecks all over the dishes.

                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love how well it cleans & how quite it is. But when all done there is some water on the dishes on the middle rack & the very top rack. Also the lights on the panel do not shut off until I do it. Otherwise a great dishwasher.

                        NO to Bosch
                        Doesn't clean smears (e.g. avocado) from plates/sllverware or remove lip marks from glasses. All need wiping after wash cycle. Unit doesn't dry after wash cycle, newly loaded items mold because the interior is still wet, seal is too tight to let interior dry out. Filter is filthy after cycle; last water cycle that runs through dishes also runs through the filter, final rinse isn't any cleaner than the filter and needs to be washed after every cycle. Display panel blinks unless unit is off.

                          Second Bosch dishwasher
                          This our second BOSCH dishwasher. Our first Bosch was great and still good working condition. I gave the washer away since we needed a new Bosch dishwasher for our kitchen remodel.

                            Had an older model BOSCH dishwasher that we were happy with, till it stopped working. Called and had an appliance repair guy come over to repair the dishwasher. Repair man stated that BOSCH no longer made the board for the outdated older model BOSCH dishwasher. Ordered the BOSCH 300 Series Dishwasher Series and it works, sounds, and looks good. SO FAR, SO GOOD!🤙🏽😉

                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disappointing. For as much as I spent on this dishwasher I would expect a nice finish on the door. Plain water leaves streaks that can't be removed. Do not recommend.

                                Looks good, works good
                                Just installed the Bosch 300 series 24 in. stainless steel front control tall tub dishwasher with stainless steel tub and 3rd rack last week and so far so good. The dishwasher looks and feels well made with the stainless steel interior and door and the front panel touch controls work well with just a light touch. The installation was fairly standard for a dishwasher, the only differences would be the plug in power cord that connects at the back and the waterline connection being at the back too. We have run three loads of dishes so far and the dishwasher is fairly quiet which is nice with the kitchen being open to the living room and they come out clean and dry like they should. The unique way the dishwasher dries dishes with the heat from the hot water is a new one to us and seeing water condensation on the inside of the tub and racks is a little strange but it works, just unload the dishes from the bottom first to keep them from getting wet from the upper racks. The wifi controls work fine but to be honest is really necessary, this is a dishwasher not a tv or dvd player. Also the provided instruction for using the dishwasher are lacking as they want you to go online for it, not very happy about that. Overall it is a good dishwasher that looks nice, cleans and dries the dishes and is quiet while it is on.

                                Very quiet, very clean
                                This dishwasher seems so quiet. I started one evening and laid on the adjourning sofa and dozed off - it is quiet. My old dishwasher sounded like a truck. The appliance looks very sleek and as modern as possible. I installed it myself with one trip to Home Depot for an extra part to connect the inlet line. (Swivel elbow approx $5) The dishes were astoundingly clean from both the auto and a quicker wash cycle setting. No scraps etc like my old dishwasher. So the sound and cleaning ability seem off the charts good. There are slight drawbacks. The buttons to select cycles are not just straightforward. ("to open setting press A for 3 seconds" etc) It seems to stay on that preferred setting of 60 minute quick wash cycle now. Also the "Home Connect" app never finds my dishwasher. Just one other note- I made my hard wires from the old dishwasher into a plug in outlet. Some of the few negative comments I read about Bosch dishwashers were because of the optional hard wiring cord.

                                Best Dishwasher We've Had
                                Last year, we relocated to a new home, one that had undergone a full kitchen remodel several years prior to our purchase. The new(ish) appliances are all top-of-the-line and, for the most part, have been an easy transition for my chef wife. The dishwasher, however, has been a disappointment. Despite being a very expensive model from one of the upscale manufacturers, we've found it to be very noisy and not particularly good at the core function of cleaning dishes. In the past, we've always had Bosch diswashers and decided to replace the existing one with this Bosch 300 Series 24 inch Stainless Steel Front Control Tall Tub model. We couldn 't be more pleased with the performance! We had a similar model in our previous home, but Bosch has continued to improve the product so this new one is even better. First, it's very quiet. It's rated at 42 dbl, but in our setting it performs even better, averaging just under 35 dbl over a 3 minute period. Dishes don't need to be rinsed prior to washing - a quick scraping to remove the bulk of remaining food is all that's needed. Our dishes come out clean and dry, every time. As a tall tub model, you can fit quite a load of dishes in before it fills up. Installation was straightforward and the included instructions very clear and easy to follow. A plug in power cord is provided. A water line kit was not included with my unit, but can be purchased separately from Bosch or, as in my case, Home Depot. Overall, we're thrilled to have our Bosch dishwasher and highly recommend it!

                                Good functional dishwasher
                                Bosch 300 Series 24 in. Stainless Steel Front Control Tall Tub Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub and 3rd Rack I upgraded from an older generation (about 7 year old) Bosch dishwasher to this one. Functionally this dishwasher is similar to the one I had - 3rd rack and all. Wish this was a bit more quieter :). Although it is not that noticeable if you are running it. Installation was done easily and it comes with a power cord. The only thing you would need to buy is a hose (and perhaps an elbow) for the hot water inlet that connects at the rear. The process to balance the unit so as to push the front side a bit up is bit cumbersome and that took a while otherwise the installation is standard. The dishwasher is working great and is actually cleaning dishes better than my previous one. I am really happy about this. Though I could feel that the plastic attachments like spoon holder etc could be more sturdy. The dishwasher has a few program options - automatic, heavy, speed 60, normal - that you can choose from and can also mark one of them as a favorite. The other fancy option with this dishwasher is that you can connect this with an app on your smart phone. The app is Home Connect. Though I have to admit that the instructions in the manual and the process to connect it can be smoothened out. I had to eventually call Bosch and figure it out. It took me a long time to connect the dishwasher from my phone. However, once connected I can see the remaining time when a cleaning cycle is in progress. I can also remotely start the dishwasher and have a few other handy features in the app including customization of cycle depending on what kind of dishes you are cleaning and what are your cleaning goals. Bosch anyway is my goto dishwasher manufacturer and with this unit I am very happy.

                                Best Dishwasher
                                I got this very nice Bosch dishwasher to replace the builder's grade washer that was installed in my new home one year ago and man what a difference. I installed it myself and was very pleased with how easy it went. The drain hose was already connected to the washer and the power cord plugs into the back of the unit so I did not have to hard-wire it. I can't say enough about the quality of this dishwasher. It has a stainless steel tub and well insulated. I can barely hear it running. I absolutely love the utensil rack on the top that is easy to load and unload. It has a Wi-Fi function that I haven't used but I know my son will use it. This is by far the nicest dishwasher I have ever had.

                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love our new dishwasher! Quiet and efficient with just one small problem. The BOSCH logo on the face of the door above the controls has simply rubbed off. It is located where one's hand goes to close the dishwasher door. Makes it difficult to show off our knew appliance to friends with the obvious problem.

I have to check to see if it is actually working because it is so quite. The ability to quickly select the washing cycle for the dish load you have is extremely easy. I really like the third shelf for utensils that ate too bulky for the silver ware holders. This dishwasher is what all other brands should strive to perform as.
