CONS
D/w Engineers should follow the motto: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
D/w Engineers should follow the motto: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
The older, cheaper d/w’s (no matter what the brand) R far more intuitive than today’s newfangled models.
The older models do not require:
* Studying a manual
* Handling redundant, confusing features

My 92-yr old mom & her aides had NO probs operating her previous d/w.
But after my brother bought her a new d/w last year, my mom & her aides still have yet to get the hang of it.
Ditto for my 30-yr old neighbor and my 55-yr old friend who r exasperated with their new dish washers as well.

BENEFITS OF THE OLD MODELS
Control Panels were External.
U could see the status clear across the room such as:
1. Minutes remaining. (If it uses a control knob, it would point to the cycle it was in at the moment.)
2. Wash done (No need for chimes that u could miss, if u R not in the kitchen).
3. Cycle: (rinse, wash, dry, etc.)

3. Cycle: (rinse, wash, dry, etc.)
B. RESTART: If u opened the door before its done, u just close the door to restart. End of story.
C: RESET: U just hit the ON button (or turn the knob to ON position).
D. RINSE ONLY: Instead of leaving smelly dishes & utensils with dried scraps of food all day, u simply hit the rinse setting.
E. DRY OPTION: many older models offer the option to turn off the dry cycle so u can open the door, & let the dishes air dry. Great if u care about saving electricity over water spots.
F. Silverware basket covers. In a word: impractical. Limits the amt & type of silverware. Not to mention time consuming.
Silverware basket is short. I ended up using my old d/w’s basket which fit the entire length of the new d/w.
G. Tilted TINES. My old d/w’s tines pointed straight up which allowed me to load unlimited shapes & sizes.
The tilted tines restrict what I can place thus limiting what I can put in. Frustrating!!

The New Models
A. The combination of a hidden control panel w/ a super low noise level, means I don’t know if the d/w is running or done - especially if I missed the chime when I’m not in my kitchen.

B. RINSE AID: with more & more people concerned about polluting our water, u should promote a natural rinse agent. 7th generation rinse aide works fine.
C. DELAY FEATURE: I don’t know anyone who uses it. Who wants smelly, dirty dishes sitting for hrs in a dark, closed environment? That’s a recipe for mildewy machines.
BOTTOM LINE: New is not necessarily better!

Great cleaning, awkward loading
on January 1, 2020
Posted by: Yankee Steve
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I follow the scrape/don't rinse practice in getting dishes ready for the dishwasher. The machine gets them clean every time, unlike my previous machine. The drying, even of plastics, is excellent as well.
I'm not happy with the design of the racks. I would call them over-designed with too many pins arranged for many plates and saucers of different sizes but awkward for bowls and too close together for mixing and serving bowls in a family that does a lot of home cooking. The fact that the silverware rack can be moved around and even folded in half into a square configuration is some help but we still had an easier time loading our old machine.

Our 2003 Bosch dishwasher was better
on June 10, 2020
Posted by: Jerry
The stacking is poor. With our 2003 dishwasher we could stack wine glasses conveniently.Who were the Yahoos who made it only possible to stack tall stemend wine glasses? The bottomm rack on this washer is poorly designed. Also, this washer does not dry as well as our old machine.We never had to use a rinse agent. I guess your designers have to do something to justify their jobs. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic we bought the washer sight unseen. Not sure we would of bought it if we had seen it onsite somewhere . It cleans the dishes well but so did our 2003 washer. My wife thinks the wash cycles are longer. I gave it three stars she wanted to give it two.

Nice looking
on December 3, 2014
Posted by: Silver1
I've had this for nearly 2 months now. It looks good and really cleans the dishes well, but there must be some trick to setting the dying cycle because the dishes are never fully dry. There's also a strange odor even with clean dishes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Quiet, but...
on May 11, 2015
Posted by: jeff9999
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased this dishwasher, and after the first use, the door would no longer latch properly. It will run, but sometimes stops mid-cycle and needs the door to be pushed to continue the cycle. Disappointed to have to call for service after less than a week. Bought this brand after seeing high reliability rating in Consumer Reports.

Great dishwasher, strange design, smaller capacity
on May 29, 2015
Posted by: Candace
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is no problem with this dishwasher as far as cleaning goes. It's better than any dishwasher I've owned, and I've gone through about four of them so far. The only complaint is the design of the tines. Most of them are angled instead of straight up and down, so it makes it difficult to load. This dishwasher is also quite a bit smaller capacity, which was our fault for not checking....I assumed most dishwashers were the same. It is super quiet, though.
I would recommend this to a friend!

SUPER Quiet

Posted by: cmeyers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace a 3 year old hardly used GE that broke down. This thing cleans WAY better than the old one, and it is so quiet, I have to keep checking the lights to make sure it is on!
I would recommend this to a friend!

well made obviously

Posted by: ChuckP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Always wanted one of these. Bought this in the last week after reading about it on Consumers Report. Really liked the data which says that Bosch dishwashers have the lease repair problems. And I can sleep when it is on because the noise level is so low Thanks
I would recommend this to a friend!
