We Love ours

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We Love ours, It is so quiet wnen running sometimes I can hear a very small water flow noise. But that is all. The machine is easy to clean, inside and out and looks very nice.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The dishwasher performs wonderfully and it's the perfect size and capacity for my needs. The big problem is that the installation instructions for installing the kick plates around the rubber skirt are so unclear, that my contractor could never could figure out how to get it correctly installed. After he was done, the bottom of the door would catch on the rubber skirt and make a loud pop - obviously not good. (I only did that twice!). Then, I watched a YouTube video to try to fix it (because I couldn't understand the written instructions & diagrams either). I attached a different kick plate, and rearranged the skirt to tuck behind it, and now the door opens and closes smoothly, but I could only figure out how to install one of the three supplied kick plates, and the skirt is quite loose behind it, so it is still not correctly put together.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced an older 18" dishwasher, and nobody makes this size to fit the 34-1/4" gap. This unit comes with nothign to fill the gap either, so there's just a hole on the top of the unit. I will have to fill it in myself. I wish it came with a strip of stainless steel to match the unit on top.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just installed this in an older condo with a galley kitchen that didn't have an opening for a dishwasher. I knew I didn't want to lose too much cabinet space so this made sense. Machines is nice and quiet and has a lot more space then you'd expect for an 18". The silverware tray and adjustable 2nd shelf are awesome. Would buy another easily.
Manual is not user friendly. Can hardly see the serial or modle numbers. For an 18inch the dishwasher is poorly designed because there are too many & various slots that take up the space in this small unit. A simplier design would have made this dishwasher a 4 star. I'm being generious by giving it a 2 star.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great dishwasher for a household of 2-3. We use it almost everyday - and the smaller size makes unloading quick. The water jets are powerful and will knock lighter plastic items around if not clipped in. The bottom rack tines are close - we typically separate dishes using every other slot along with the third rack for utensils.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) The Bosch SPE68C75UC is a compact dishwasher that delivers an impressive amount of cleaning power for its size. As a panel‑ready 18” model, it fits beautifully into my tiny kitchen without feeling like a compromise. The cleaning performance is excellent, and the machine runs incredibly quietly.
The interior layout is smart and flexible, especially considering the narrower footprint. The adjustable racks and third‑level cutlery tray make it surprisingly easy to load dishes. It also dries surprisingly well using the express clean.
That said, like many compact dishwashers, the capacity is naturally limited. My larger family must run the dishwasher after a single meal and larger items can require a bit of strategic placement.
Overall, the SPE68C75UC is a strong performer: quiet, efficient, and thoughtfully designed. If you need an 18” dishwasher that still feels premium, this one delivers.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) The instructions for install on this are very vague and not specific enough for the model. Clips fall out and no way to know how to stick them in. The height suggestion of half an inch between the top of the dishwasher and the counter is ridiculous. Should be 5mm. Sloppy work.
