Review:
"Dangerous design flaw"
Spent an extra $200.00 on a Bosch dishwasher (beause its a Bosh), to replace my 15 year old Whirlpool. What a disapointment. From day one, did not dry the dishes and did not properly rinse the dishes as you can smell the soap after the cycle ends. Also, had to add rinse Aid with every load as it leaks out.Called the customer service which took 15 calls as I was put on hold for 45 minutes each time. The customer service rep was very rude. The tech finally came out and stated that the the problem was a design flaw. Stated that Bosch did not design a fan into the machine so the dishes will have to dry themselves. Suggested that after the rinse cycle ends, open the door and let the dishes air dry. After informing him of the danger of burning, he shrugged and said "sorry I get this a lot". As for the staniless still interior? It stained from liquide soap then sctratched as I tried to wipe it off. Very cheaply built. I will never purchase a Bosch product again. Replaced it with a Whrilpool. A total loss of $700.00.

"How is this a Bosch?"
Doesn’t dry the dishes; the touch panel is so inconsistent that you never know how much pressure to apply to the buttons; and it will just stop during a cycle for no apparent reason- no error message or code or anything; just stops When we remodeled our kitchen, we went with Bosch. Bosch has a solid reputation in power tools and seems to always be on people’s top picks for appliances. So how in the world did Bosch put its name on the Silence Plus dishwasher? It’s a total piece of junk! At first we thought it was user error. Then we thought that it purposely didn’t dry the dishes as a European prerogative to manage everyone else’s energy consumption. Then we thought it was installed wrong. Then we thought it was reinstalled wrong. Then we thought that the broken brackets were the cause. Then we thought it was the water pressure. I mean it couldn’t be that Bosch manufactured one of the worst dishwashers I’ve had. (By the way, the worst was one that you had to connect to the kitchen faucet every time you used it - and this Bosch is just slightly better than that!) But we kept blaming everything else because all the “experts” consistently gave Bosch dishwashers high marks. Unfortunately, by the time we realized that Bosch is in fact capable of producing worthless junk; it was past the return date…way way way past So because I’m stingy I’ve fought with this hunk of junk for years. But today I’m final getting rid of the old b’strd because it finally just stopped working. Yeah! I’ve never been so happy about an appliance dying! And Bosch, I will never buy a single product of yours again. You got my money over false pretenses before, never again.

"Worse Dishwasher Ever"
Bought a Bosch SilencePlus 48 dBa and HATE it! Doesn't dry plastic items even with Finish wash aid as recommended. Also leaves film on dishes using Cascade Complete. Have hand dry when finished. Definitely wouldn't buy another one and checking to see if we can exchange it for a different brand.

"Terrible performance"
Expensive and definitely not worth it! The dishes don't get clean, the silverware has rusty looking spots, and the glasses look spotty. I'd never buy a Bosch again!

"Horrible dishwasher"
Our first Bosch 30 years ago was great. We then had a Miele that was pretty good. This dishwasher we purchased in 1/2023. I hate this thing. The stainless is very thin and doesn't clean well. Lost all shine after a few months and looks like it is 15 years old. My much older oven is still shiny. The dishwasher is not well insulated, it heats up the cabinet next to it and this is where I keep breads and chips. Never did this happen with other DWs. It stinks!!! Smells. I have to use cleaner every several wash cycles. My dishes stink and I have to hand wash them to get the smell off of them. It doesn't dry well. I even put it on San Wash and extra dry (which is costing me in water and electric and heating) and they still are wet. I have seriously considered buying a new dishwasher. Total waste of over 1K. DON'T BUY this dishwasher!

"disaster never buying Bosch again"
Dishwasher was the MOST expensive unit Home Depot sold. Worked for under 2 years, and we spent over 9 months with a Bosch certified technician making no less than 8 trips to our house, and replacing the same amount of parts. After never being able to get it to work, and constant run around from Bosch -- they did NOT stand by their product. We threw it out and bough a Whirlpool.

"Omg what a piece of trash"
I wish I could tell you how much i hate this piece of junk. I see E24 in my sleep. We researched before replacing our loud and clunky but very effective Kenmore that just died after 18 years of great work. This piece of crap has never worked right. It just circulates dirty water and never drains. Never drains. We can clean this and clean that and do every magic trick in the book. There is absolutely no excuse for spending this much money on an appliance and never having one clean dish. It has been a ridiculously stressful purchase and we are having to replace it. Again. And now we are having to figure out what to buy. I don’t care if the next one brings down the house with noise if it CLEANS MY FREAKING DISHES!!

"Do Not Buy"
New BOSCH 300 installed week of Thanksgiving and we ran two loads and it started giving error code 15. Repair person has come out twice and can't get it fixed. They are now coming out 1/5/2023 for a third time to attempt to fix it, after waiting 2 months. I had submitted paperwork to get a new machine, but that was turned down. Horrible response time and long wait on the phone. DO NOT BUY

"Bosh 500 Dishwasher Review"
The Bosh 500 Series 44- Decibel Top Control 24-in Built-in Dishwasher is a well-constructed quiet dishwasher, which cleans very effectively. Although, I would not purchase this model again based on the the PureDry Condensation Drying System. There are no elements for drying and the inside of the unit and cups and glasses will be wet at the end of the cycle. This also creates a unpleasant smell when you open the door after cleaning. Bosh indicates it is normal for the inside of the dishwasher to remain wet after the cycle is completed, this is how it is designed. The moisture will eventually evaporate. If you want to speed up the amount of time it takes for the interior of the dishwasher to dry, you can open the door after the cycle is complete. Allowing outside air to circulate into the dishwasher will dry the interior more quickly. Bosh also says you do not need to be concerned with mold growing inside of your dishwasher because with the condensation drying system, it is designed to be wet inside the unit after the cycle has completed. This drying system may be environmentally friendly, but is very ineffective for actual use, having to dry the tops of cups and classes before removing them from the dishwasher and encountering an unpleasant smell.

"Horrible"
The whole point of a dishwasher is to make washing dishes easy. Well if after running my Bosch and drying it? I still have to wipe everything off to get it dry. What’s the point! Making things energy efficient is not working for dishwashers Miele if you are hearing this if and when you go back on line do not be swayed by this. Dry the dam dishes!

Review:
"Waste of money!"
Well, after three months we are ready to buy a real dishwasher. Our LG gave up after 12 years, so based on CR reviews, we bought the highly rated Bosch. It took over 8 hours to install- should have been my first clue. As an engineer with 40+ years of experience, I would rate the cabinet design a "0" on a 10 scale. Whereas our original JennAir and the replacement LG fit into the cabinet with no problem, the Bosch required drilling and chipping the floor to get it to fit- this is due to the nearly-solid bottom plate- Bad design. Kitchen floors are only flat if you have a non-slab floor... So, after that we tried to start it. It will start- about every 4th or 5th try. The quick fix is to reach behind the disposal and pull the plug and plug it back in. My wife gets it to start about 1 in 3, I usually give up after 5 tries. Then, just for fun, I checked the noise level. I have calibrated, precision sound equipment. They claim 44dB. I measured 53 to 55dB at 1 meter distance- more than 10 times louder. Maybe they measured it when it was turned off? One other thing- we found out that often (more than 50% of the time) silverware remains dirty after a 2 hour, 9 minute cycle. This is unacceptable. I blame this on a very small grid in the silverware baskets. The JennAir and LG baskets are much more open to allow water to reach the silverware and let the food particles fall in to the bottom. We did experiments- by carefully cleaning all of the dishes with soap and water, and rinsing in the sink first, then loading into the Bosch, we get clean dishes after 2 hours and nine minutes! So, my advice is skip this product. If I could give this strongly negative rating, I would.

"Doesn't turn on"
Bosch seems to have issues with the control panel. After just a couple of years, it cannot be turned on. Previous one had same issue and needed to be replaced. I don't like this company. They apologize and replace a part for free but the service visit costs us hundreds of dollars each time. Stand by your product.

"Never Bosch!"
This new dishwasher is horrible! Everything is sticky even after gone thru complete cycle and when you open the door to put things up, water drains out the side on the floor. The service center says it is supposed to that! Oh really! I have just used a dishwasher for 45 years and none of the others did that. Will never have another one!!!

"Terrible"
This is the worst dishwasher I have ever owned. It neither washes nor dries the dishes nearly as well as my 11 year old whirlpool that was less than half the price. It seems that in an effort to save power and water, performance has been sacrificed. Worse, though, is the fact that the interior measure is 15percent smaller than a KitchenAid, Maytag, or any non-European model. Plus, the interior set up simply does not fit the dishes well. If you try to fill it, the dishes don't get cleaned at all. Even with it half full, it leaves food residue and does not get food off the dishes and cutlery. I know what you're saying - we don't scrape the plates, or we don't keep the filter clean. Not so. This thing has not worked well since new and we have had service in to replace the logic panel. No better. We rinse the dishes. We clean the filter every load. We still have residue all over the dishes and food that does not come off. So, not only do we do a half load, we have to wash many of the dishes a second time. So, as for all that efficiency, we go throught dishwasher pods 4 times faster then we did with our last machine, and have to fill the Finish dispenser every two weeks. It still does not get the dishes even remotely dry, despite the fact we have adjusted the settings and select extra dry. We constantly have dishes on the counter because the capacity is so small and the cycle takes 2 hours and 45 minutes! Outrageous for 1900 bucks. I cannot understand how anyone could be satisfied with this machine. It may be quiet, but so is my vacuum cleaner when it's not doing it's job.

Review:
"Silencer Plus"
Of the four dishwashers I have ever had, my new Bosch Silencer Plus is the worst and most disappointing. A dishwasher is a dishwasher save for the level of quietness, right? Nope. I purchased this model about 4 months ago after the motor in my last Bosch died after 15 years. There was no question I was going with another Bosch. $1,559 later, I am so frustrated and disappointed. It is not as quiet as my last one but still okay. But the cleaning is terrible. Like some other reviewers have noted, you have to prewash or wash after they have been through the cycle. It leaves tiny bits of food on everything if you don't - not lovely to see a particle floating in your drink. I am now stuck with this machine. Do not buy this model.
