Reviewed on www.homedepot.com·Gabe10101
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced a 2-star Whirlpool Custom Panel dishwasher after 12 years of tolerance. Many friends and family recommended Bosch despite the higher prices relative to other brands. The installation was straightforward, but the door panel installation was frustrating. A large paper template was provide. Instructions about marking the screw hole location were confusing at best. I got it very wrong the first time. Fortunately, I was able to correct installation without damage to the panel. Once installed, I had to trim the kick panel below the dishwasher due to interference with the door. Easy, but never mentioned in the instructions. Otherwise, the dishwasher started right up and dishes come out clean. Following experiences with past dishwashers, I always run on the "heavy" setting. Fortunately this Bosch dishwasher remembers my favorite settings. Unfortunately additional settings can only be set via an app. Another freakin app that I will use rarely. Boo, Bosch and everyone else who thinks applicance need to be connected to the internet. So there you have it. A very good dishwasher (so far) with a less-than perfect installation and a frustrating app requirement.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The dishes are very clean and it runs quietly. My issue is with this whole business of turning ordinary appliances into computers. I didn't feel like it was a necessary feature for me to be able to start an appliance with my phone. So I didn't download the app. Well, despite following the instructions to manually turn it on to a T, I COULD NOT GET IT TO RUN! I am not stupid- I habe been using dishwashers for more than 50 years. I can turn on a dishwasher, but I could not turn on THIS one. I succumbed and downloaded the app, and yup, the dishwasher started. I saved the Auto program, and now I can turn it on from the app or manually. It's not hard to use the app, it just shouldn't be NECESSARY. It's aggravating when companies complicate things and then tell you they simplified them. That's called gaslighting. Okay, rant over - it looks nice, runs quietly, and the dishes are super clean. But if we ever lose internet, we're all going to be doing our dishes by hand.

I give this five stars for cleaning performance. This machine cleans better than any other dishwasher I've ever had. But I hate the racks so much I'm deducting two stars! The tines are very close--fortunately, I don't have thick or rimmed dishes. If you do, steer clear. Plus, the tines are positioned in a way that makes it really hard to fit bowls or pots or food storage containers any way other than fully face down. On the bottom rack especially, they either don't fit at all where I want them, or they tilt up, so water would pool inside. In all of my other dishwashers, I've been able to angle these pieces. It's a huge waste of space. It's also really hard to fit in my skillet, which in every other machine I've had I could position on its sides in several locations. And my glasses flop over unless they are tightly packed. On the plus side: I like the two silverware racks--I can remove one or reposition them, which I often need to do because of the design of the rest of the racks. Do Europeans drink from glasses that are really different from Americans'? Are our dishes and pots and containers that different? I am mystified by the design of these racks and curse them every time I load my dishwasher.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This diswasher is very quiet, and we particularly enjoy the smart features such as the delay start, which allows us to run a cycle at night when our energy costs are lowest. The outer design is modern and fits well with our kitchen. Maybe because there are only two racks, this model does feel like it has a smaller capacity, as the utensil/silverware holder takes up a substantial amount of space on the bottom rack. The top rack also lacks sufficient height for our wine glasses to fit, which is a bummer. Overall, we took away one star just for the space issues; otherwise we enjoy this dishwasher.

Reviewed on www.perigold.com·Turkey
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best feature of this dishwasher is the silence. You barely hear it running. I'm not crazy about the silverware caddy, but it's not too bad. Connecting the dishwasher to the Internet is silly and unnecessary. I haven't figured out if you can skip a heated dry setting which is an option I would like. If this dishwasher lasts 15 years or more, it will be worth it (I actually expect 20 years). We will see. The last dishwasher only lasted 9 years; far too short. The core reason I purchased a Bosch is the reputation. This is the first Bosch home applicance product I have purchased.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 1st,the good. \r\nNice clean look. Good layout of control buttons. Dishes come out clean with minimal spotting. Extremely quiet is its best feature.\r\n\r\n2nd, the bad. Doesn't fit our standard dishwasher opening. This is our 4th dishwasher in 26 years and the 1st to be too tall to be able to fully level / plumb before it hit the front opening. Hard to explain on here but this unit is very flat on the bottom and has the ability to adjust upwards (3 points) to correct level/plumb but it has zero ability to adjust downward beyond factory size because the flat bottom hits the floor. Like I said hard to explain and yes our dishwasher opening is "standard".\r\nRubber trim strips on side leave a very unfinished look. Dish racks are ok at best. The layout is better than average but the slides are anything but smooth and easy to move. I actually expected the top rack to fall off the guides its so shaky.\r\nThere is not any indication the cycle has completed other than the chime. A simple "clean" "finished" "completed" light would be nice and was expected.

There is a lot to like with this Bosch. Very quiet when it runs, lots of different ways to stack dishes, holds quite a bit. There a couple of things that I have noticed. For example, when you fill the rinse holder, the liquid runs out of the bottom. Not sure what to do with that. The other thing is where to put the silverware holder. It will fit a couple of different ways but I have noticed that after the wash and dry, the underneath part of the plastic handle is wet. And when you take out the silverware holder, it tends to drip water on some of the clean and dry dishes. Not horrible, but a puzzler.

The Bosch dishwasher is quiet. However, I am older and find that it has difficult instructions. It took reading the manual carefully to start. The manual did not come with the dishwasher so I had to download it from my computer. I like to manually start the dishwasher and do not want to put it on an app on my phone which the manual keeps suggesting I do. It has quite a bit of moisture inside the machine after the wash and rinse cycle are complete which is annoying. I manually wipe some of the inside of the machine. It washes well and the dishes seem to be very clean so that pleases me.

Reviewed on www.perigold.com·Shaina
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did the research. I found a dishwasher that struck the balance between being well rated and within my budget. So far, however, I have been a little disappointed.\r\n\r\nPros:\r\n--Super quiet! Love this aspect after having dishwashers that I could only run at night because of the noise.\r\n--Cleans the dishes well. No complaints there.\r\n\r\nCons:\r\n--Does not dry the dishes. Even with "extra dry" turned on, they are completely wet when we open the dishwasher.\r\n--The dishwasher stays oddly humid throughout the day, even hours after the last cycle has been run and it was completely open to put away the clean dishes.\r\n--There is also a mild smell paired with the humidity even though I do not see lingering food residue.\r\n--The utensil holders have weird spacers that are not uniform, so you never know if a utensil will fit in the space or not until you try to put it in. And the utensil holders as a whole do not stay attached to the side of the rack. The hooks are not sufficient.\r\n--The racks themselves have weird spacing and angles to the coated wires. Is there a diagram somewhere that shows how to load this particular dishwasher efficiently?\r\n--Finally, there is no tactile response when the "buttons" are pushed. Maybe it's because there are no actual buttons and no lines to mark where one function ends and another begins. And there is a delay between pushing the spot and a light or sound registering. I'm constantly questioning, "Did I push in the right spot? Did I push it at all?"\r\n\r\nHonestly I would like to return it, but it would be such a hassle to do so.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bosch 100 is very quiet and cleans well but it is diffcult to load. The silverware basket is a rectangular cube shape and does fit any place very conveniently. I was used to one that was long and not so wide and it sat along one edge of the rack while the Bosch one takes up too much room. The Bosch also does not fully dry the dishes even if "Extra Dry" is selected. My 17 year old Kitchen Aid held more dishes and was easier to load.

Reviewed on www.bestbuy.com·Zuri
I really want to love this dishwasher, but we started having issues almost immediately. It just won't dry plastic at all. Not even a little. There are puddles on most of them when you pull the racks out, and that water usually splashes onto everything else in the dishwasher. I shouldn't have to dry 80% of my dishes by hand when something costs this much.
On the upside, I've contacted Bosch customer support and they're sending someone out to see if it's something they can fix. But the service rep did tell me that plastics often don't dry well because they "sweat" during the drying process. If that's a known issue, they definitely need to add that to the product information. I have a toddler, so we have a decent amount of plastic cups and plates right now even though I prefer glass and ceramic stuff for everything else. This is massively inconvenient. Our old dishwasher dried them just fine. (Though it wasn't cleaning anything very well anymore.)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this washer to replace another dishwasher that had leaked and caused the kitchen floor to deteriorate while we were renting. We've since bought the house and fixed the floor for now, and I got this dishwasher put into place. As a washer, it does everything it says it can do. A constant problem is getting it to close properly. The install was carefully done by the licensed contractor who fixed the floor. The area was leveled and adjusted to fit the washer. From the installation, however, the door has problems closing, and after pulling my hair out trying to get the door to close, I've resorted to adjusting the length of a shower curtain rod and wedging the rod gently under the right side of the door handle. It has washed perfectly ever since, with no issues. \r\nSO. BOSCH. PLEASE ADJUST THE DESIGN OF THIS WASHER AND PROBABLY OTHER WASHERS TO BE MANUALLY LATCHED SHUT. Thank you.

Even though it was more expensive, we decided to invest in a good machine. Unfortunately, we've been disappointed with the 100 series. For one, it's not cleaning or drying our dishes as well as our previous machine. But we're also unhappy with the design inside. There's less room than other machines, and less flexible, in that the dividers limit where you can put things, including the silverware holder. Also, you have to load things a certain way on the bottom rack, or it goes out of balance and the rack falls out of place. I'm hoping we get used to everything and the machines lasts us a long time (which is why we purchased Bosch), but in the short term, we're feeling buyer's regret.
