We recently purchased a new Bosch dishwasher to replace our old one which lasted 18 years Our new dishwasher is literally silent and has a number of new features One we really like is called Crystal Dry which uses a volanic element called zeolite to generate extra heat It really makes a difference with drying plastic items and the element never needs to be replaced Theres plenty of room and the movable racks up and down come in handy when extra space is needed Overall this is a great product with loads of features that will keep your dishes and glasses sparkling clean My wife and I expect to get many years of trouble free use with this dishwasher

I bought a house with this model and the controls are not as easy and clear as the KitchenAide after months of use I still like the Kitchenaide better The light signals that face the floor only glow red when washing Wish it was green when done and perhaps blue when waiting to do a timed start Because the display is on the top any information is hidden after you close it Overall this washer cleans fairely well is super quiet to the point that I have to get next to it to barely hear if its running and the WiFi feature is nice too

Dishwasher worked fine for one week but then the upper rack support broke with a bearing on one of the roller exploding The following week the dishwasher will not drain I get the same error code on each cycle All the checks on drain line and pump are fine It is going to take 3 weeks to have a technican be available to look at it Overall not impressed but when the dishwasher was brand new it did work real well to clean and dry the dishes

When shopping for a Dishwasher we wanted the quietest one we could find followed by top of the line features In a pandemic it was hard to find as mostly middle of the road dishwashers were getting produced We first bought a Miele top of the line dishwasher because it was supposed to be everything anyone wanted but after 6 months of nonstop repairs and the loudest 38db machine youve ever heard we gave up on it and found this Bosch the dishwasher we wanted in the first place Its so quiet And if you havent experienced a lit interior trust me its worth it The bottom two racks are roomy for most things though we wish it had a bottle holder like some other high or even middleoftheroad dishwashers The top rack on the upgraded Bosch dishwashers we actually feel is inferior to the cutlery rack provided in the 500 series We bought that rack for 50 from Bosch and while its good other brands do have Bosch beat The Zeolite drying is decent but not as good as advertised however still better than most The Miele did dry better with the autoopening door But if you load your dishes properly they will be mostly dry even the plastics At the end of the day quiet and clean is the name of the game and Bosch is definitely the best in both of those areas So if youre looking at 3000 dishwashers save yourself the hassle and get a Bosch Benchmark Youll love the lights roominess cleanliness and the lack of noise

Does a great job on even the toughest stains Very quiet
