After 1 year and 4 months of normal use, the recirculation pump is broken. The warranty is only 12 months...
There several issues i had with this purchase and Best Buy did satisfy me on these issues. I hated this Bosch dishwasher. A feature i use a lot is the rinse cycle. You can only access this feature via the app - STUPID. Firstly i do not believe appliances should be WIFI connected, very seldom is this option of any benefit and it will cease to function soon. Example, my partner downloaded the app on their phone. So one night i asked them to start the rinse cycle. Could not be done since the door was open. We had to walk down from the 3rd floor to the 1st - close the door - then use the phone to start the machine. A convenience was not convenient. One reason for purchasing this unit was the 38 DB rating. It was noisy. We ended up buying a 100 series with a rating of 48DB which is quieter than the 500. The rinse has a button (the only unit in Bosch I could find through all series) and finally there is a timer so you actually see how long the unit has left to run. Again, i did not see this feature on any other series. Lastly, this dishwasher replaced our 18 years old Bosch, but has a life expectancy of 8-10 years. Next time i would get a Meile. Also, the 100 series is about $800 less, a better value if you are going to buy Bosch.
It's important to do your research and understand the changes in purchases today. When purchasing a major appliance you must be prepared to wait! Days to weeks in some cases. Very few appliance vendors stock inventory anymore and those that do charge for shipping, installation and removal. Best buy fortunately carried the brand we wanted. Not the exact model but in a pinch we were able to pick it up. Installation was similar to other but operation was unclear and lots of YouTube viewing helped. The Bosch 500 comes in 6 different models! Again we weren't aware! Fortunately it ended ok and after a couple of days of research were able to navigate our way around. Machine cleans great and very quiet. Our model also requires an app to start it functioning.
Does a great job. Extremely quiet, you wouldn’t even know it was on. Looks great, easy to clean and not too many fingerprints, which I expected with stainless steel.
I recently purchased a dishwasher from Best Buy. The challenge came when trying to coordinate an d schedule 3 separate contractors to 1. Uninstall my current dishwasher 2. Deliver new dishwasher / take away and recycle old dishwasher 3. Hook-up new dishwasher.
Needing to be home for each of these services and being told that each would have to happen on separate days seemed incredulous and a huge hassle. Fortunately, the team I worked with at Best Buy was able to find a day when all three could occur on the same day! So happy. In a time when more and more companies are requiring people to be in the office 4-5 days/week, it is no longer feasible to need to be home for 3 separate tasks and further to this, not be told th 3hr time-slot until the night before!
Thanks for recognizing that these are no longer pandemic times and people are working outside the home and not able to take deliveries or schedule their day around delivery timeslots on such short notice.
Very quite, just little water bubbling noise in the pipe at the very beginning. Only remark is about fitting tall wine glasses.you can drop the top drawer down but then you might clash with normal dishes below. It gets tight.
