Anyone have one? Do you like it? Our dishwasher is old and doesn't actually clean anything. It just sort of spreads the food schmutz around. I don't know for sure if it's because we have really hard water or because our dishwasher sucks. Either way, it is old and sometimes leaks and is probably due for replacement anyhow.

I have one, but I'm not sure of its age because it came with the house, so more than 2 years old.
I really like it. It's small and it's noisy, but the thing works. Best at cleaning than any of my previous dishwashers.

I have one that is 12 years old. Some of the rack pieces have broken and worn out, but I love the thing. It's so quiet. It doesn't pillage your hot water heater. It doesn't have a heating element in the chamber so you don't have to worry about top rack or bottom rack. I don't pre-rinse. I very rarely have to rewash anything. The thing is awesome.

Had one several years ago. It was a Bosch lemon. Bought a new Bosch last month on the advice of the appliance guy who said they had greatly improved their product and it's now top of the line. ITA. Love my dishwasher, especially that top rack that is great for small stuff like spatula's and kitchen tools.

Have one as well. Works fine, although I really don't have much to compare it to. I do wish that ours had a cutlery rack vs. basket though.

And the noise rating was pretty good. Honestly the one we have now, besides not cleaning anything, is as loud as a jet engine. It's bananas how loud the thing is. Anything would be quieter I think.

I love our Bosch dishwasher! It is almost silent and cleans perfectly. We have the one with the shallow third rack and love that part too.

That is good to know - about the heating element. Sometimes my plastic stuff just does not fit in the top. And I won't have to worry about my kids melting stuff. They are mostly on dish duty these days since 1) I am sick and 2) they are perfectly capable of loading and unloading.

I'll be the dissenter of the group. Ours came with the house and based on my experience with it I'd never buy another. The pros are that it is quiet and it gets the dishes clean. The cons are that the racks in mine are totally stupid, no big bowls or pans fit in the thing on either rack and this is a huge problem for me. The silverware in the rack catches on the gasket at the edge when the bottom rack is pushed in or out. It takes 1:20 to wash a load of dishes. 80 minutes? Really? My next dishwasher will be a KitchenAid.

We had a GE Profile and I thought that the thing was going to take off it was so loud. The Bosch is so quiet sometimes I don't know it's running unless I see the red light on the floor. We have stainless, so the controls are inside the door.

It does take a LONG time to run the load. That is my one criticism.
It does heat the water, but it heats it before it puts it into the chamber, so it's not grabbing from your water heater, and it's not exposing the dishes to the heating elements either. Then it dries for a REALLY long time--I think as a sanitizing feature because it's very hot steam, not just air.

I have one, it came with my house. I think it's about 6-7 years old. It is the quietest dishwasher I've ever experienced. The only way I know it's running is to look at the nitty and hope I can see the red glowing light. I always use the delay wash feature so that it finishes when I'm up and getting ready in the morning. It beeps several times to let me know it's done. It does take a long time to run the normal cycle, but I think half of it has to be dry time. Everything is dry, and very hot and steamy when I open it up.

Mine is about 7 years old and I've hated it from the beginning. It's noisy. Really loud. And it had a recall where in this model of dishwasher, circuit boards were catching on fire and I couldn't use it for a month while I waited for someone to come fix it (they were overwhelmed with the recall). The top drawer is too shallow for my water glasses. The regular wash cycle is over an hour and a half.
I will look for something else when this one dies. Maybe I have a bad one because everybody else seems to love theirs.

We are on our second Bosch and love it! The first one was moved to my mom's house 3 years ago when we remodeled and is still going strong (10 years total). The new one has the third rack, which takes a bit to get used to but once you do you'll wonder how you lived without it! Super quite and cleans very well. Ours has the option to control how much Jet Dry is used with each load. Not sure what model or cycle others are using to have 1 hr+ times. On ours, a normal cycle (with sanitize feature added) is only 42 min. Pot scrubber would be longer, but we never have a need for it. The regular cycle takes care of everything. mimima mentioned Miele. That would be the other brand I would recommend. We had one in Paris and the quality was equal to the Bosch. We didn't get one here because there were not many to choose from. Bosch had a better range available.

We had one in a rental and it caused a fire in our kitchen because of a circuit board in the panel. Luckily they were right there and put it out before it spread beyond the kitchen. We replaced it with a nice Kenmore and our tenant says it does a much better job than the Bosch ever did.

We recently remodeled our tiny kitchen in our tiny house, and we opted for the 18" Bosch dishwasher. Love how quiet it is, and our dishes are perfectly clean without pre-rinsing. We did have an issue with a bad motherboard that crapped out after the first use, but it was covered under warranty. Was fixed with 48 hours, and we haven't had an issue since.

Have you checked to see if yours is one of the ones with the faulty circuit board? Please check ASAP as there have been cases where houses have burned to the ground because of the fire. Hopefully yours is newer than the recalled ones.

We've had one for several years and we really like it. It's really quiet. I have noticed that sometimes it isn't cleaning as thoroughly as it did when it was new. It's mostly with cups on the upper shelf. A load does take a long time, but it isn't an issue for us.

I loved mine for the three years it ran. I can't recommend a dishwasher that dies after three years.

I've had two - not a fan. You basically have to completely clean the dishes before putting in which I think is s big waste of water. I think they are so quiet because they lack a grinder?

I love my Bosch. I pre rinse my dishes in the sink and put the load on 30 min quick wash. Dishes come out perfectly clean. It's very quiet and beeps when its done. It has a steel interior and adjustable top rack. I've had it for 10 years now and it's still going strong.

When we have shopped for dishwashers we have taken our largest items and cutting boards to the store and tested the loading. That ruled the Bosch out for us as nothing fit.

My sister had one. She paid big bucks for it. It was a total dud. The worst appliance purchase she ever made. She did without a dishwasher for over a year. Now she has a cheap one and she said it works better than the other one ever did. I don't know what brand the new one is. I think she bought it at Best Buy.

We bought one a few months ago after extensive research. Very happy with it so far. It has an adjustable top rack which is awesome, no problem fitting anything in it. Love the third rack for silverware. No problems getting things clean.
