What's great about it: very quiet, cleans awesome
What's not so great: dishes are hard to load as it is set up funky inside and it is somewhat small.
Looks good, works great, would highly recommend if they could make the trays have better ergonomics, otherwise I only kinda recommend.

What's great about it: Gets the job done
What's not so great: Nothing
I bought this dishwasher 5 months ago. I first purchased a Samsung but it would stop working after 5 minutes. I tried a few times to get it working and decided it was not worth the hassle.. Best Buy gave me no problems exchanging it for the Bosch. I am so pleased with this dishwasher. The dishes and glasses come out squeeky clean and dry every time. Because I bought it the week before Thanksgiving I was interested to see how it stood up to a full load of dinnerware and all the cookware. It exceeded my expectations and has continued to in these past 5 months. In addition, the dishwasher was on while we were close by having dessert and was so quiet we never noticed it was on. Great buy....great price....great appliance.

What's great about it: quiet, efficient, great price
I'd been looking at this model for a while because of the half load feature since the kids are grown and gone. With our open floor plan our old dishwasher was really noisy making TV watching and conversation difficult. This model is very quiet, very efficient. Everything dries with Auto setting and Sanitize. Really a quality product and the price was great-- on sale, free delivery and take away and free installation. Great sale.

This model is in the lower tier for bells and whistles, but does the job. It seems a little smaller than the old one we replaced, and doesn't seem to be able to be loaded up as much. There will be dishes that do not dry thoroughly, but we do not use the sanitize as a dryer option. Overall we are happy with the way it cleans the dishes.

What's great about it: quiet
I love this dishwasher. It's so quiet compared to my last one. So far it seems to clean very well. I read in earlier reviews some didn't like the way dishes are loaded in it, but I see no problem at all. This model doesn't have the sanitizing dry, but I never used that on my old one anyway, plus it saves energy not having that.

What's great about it: extremely quiet, great value
What's not so great: takes longer to do dishes than prior dishwasher
I am extremely pleased with my purchase. The dishwasher is so much quieter than my previous dishwasher and it does an excellent job on cleaning the dishes. It does take more time to do a full load of dishes than my prior dishwasher, but I usually run the dishwasher in the evening anyway. I am still playing with the best way to get the most dishes into one load. If anyone is thinking about buying this dishwasher I highly recommend it.

What's great about it: Quiet and efficient.
What's not so great: Not a thing
Super quiet. I have to stand in front of it to make sure it's on. Dishes come out really clean and dry. Love the 1/2 load option. I have had no problems with the detergent dispenser not opening as mentioned in another review, nor have I had any problems with dishes not being dry. Both of these issues are addressed in the owner's manual and explicit instructions on how to avoid these issues are given. I love this dishwasher and would definitely buy a Bosch again.

What's not so great: After completing the task at hand, this dishwasher does not turn itself off after drying...
My wife and I wanted to upgrade our energy in-efficient appliances after receiving this years tax return. We shopped around for several weeks and researched a variety of models (and from a variety of vendors). After all was said and done, we bought this appliance and we don't regret the purchase in the least. Not only did we get a great deal (at Best Buy), we have noticed a positive difference in our utility bills. We will definitely consider both this brand and place of purchase again the next time we are in the market for an appliance (but hopefully not anytime soon!).

What's great about it: It was black like the rest of my appliances
What's not so great: Does not dry the dishes well at all
The salesman in the Eden Prairie MN store said this model was better than the one I was originally going to purchase and it was on sale. I took his advice and wish I would have paid the higher price for the other dishwasher. This model does not dry the dishes all that well and there is no digital readout like the other model I wanted that will tell you which cycle it is on. This model also ran for over an hour and I had to manually stop it . Not as pleased as I thought I would be. Listen to your first mind when purchasing any large item from Best Buy...they seem to be all about the money and the how many warrentee's they can sell instead of what is best for the customer's needs.

What's great about it: easy to install, super quiet, really clean dishes!
What's not so great: I haven't found anything bad yet.
This is a great dishwasher. I was concerned about some of the reviews stating the dishes didn't get dry. However, if you use the Auto Wash plus Sanitize option and rinse aid like recommended the dishes come out just as dry as dishwashers with a heating element.
I also installed this myself and it was pretty easy. You need to hook up the drain hose first, level it, then slide it in place and hook up the hot water hose.
P.S. It's also super nice looking. In case that's a factor for you.

We have an open-floor plan house, so noise is really an issue. This dishwasher is so quiet, we don't have to turn the TV up any more while the dishwasher is running. You can fit a ton of stuff in it, and everything comes out spotless. I didn't realize what a poor job my old Frigidaire dishwasher was doing until we got this Bosch.

What's not so great: fails to release soap, leaves dishes slimy, does not turn on/off reliably, slow to dry
The Best Buy sales guy raved over this unit - boasting of it's reliability and quality. In retrospect, I wonder if he was just trying to fill quotas.
Needless to say, we are very very disappointed we bought this unit. Often it fails to release the soap; occasionally it will run and never stop unless we force it to (at least it is persistent); generally the dishes are slimy; sometimes the timer forgets to wake up and turn itself on; takes a long long time to dry the dishes; repair men apparently have a hard time making this thing work.
Some takeaways: Don't buy this model. Take Best Buy salesperson's suggestions with a grain of salt. Don't buy into any stereotypes about where a product was designed or made. Get a refund quickly even if you have minor issues (don't assume your product will get better).
This product is... Quiet, annoying

What's great about it: Quiet operation; sleek look.
What's not so great: Nothing.
I bought the Bosch Ascenta on sale last week, and Best Buy was offering free installation on Bosch dishwashers. It was delivered today and easily installed. I ran it once today. It is very quiet and cleaned the dishes very well. I allowed the dishes to sit with caked on taco soup residue before placing them in the Bosch. The Bosch cleaned them perfectly. Contrary to the many who criticize the Bosch for not drying the dishes, all of the dishes were dry with the exception of the tupperware containers. The stainless steel inner walls were also wet when I removed the dry dishes.
Bosch is the only dishwasher that consistently gets higher marks than the other lines of dishwashers. My parents have had one for years, and a good family friend also has one. They are all very pleased as am I.
Great job, Bosch and Best Buy. Once again, I am a happy customer.

What's great about it: Super Quiet
What's not so great: Rack design not the greatest for bowls
Purchased this to replace a high-end GE Profile dishwasher that was dying after about 5 years of service. Over the past 30 years we have owned primarily GE, Whirlpool, and KitchenAid washers - this is our first Bosch appliance. All I can say is WOW! This dishwasher is more energy efficient, uses less water, and is much, much quieter than any model we have previously owned. Our house has a very open floor plan with a kitchen that opens up directly onto the family room. With any previous model we always waited until we went to bed at night to run the dishwasher - otherwise it interfered with TV watching, listening to music or even simple conversations. This Bosch is sooooo quiet you can't even tell that its running most of the time. Even at the loudest part of its cycle, all we hear is a very silent, almost undetectable whooshing of water against the interior of the unit! We cracked up laughing the first time we ran it. It also does a fantastic job cleaning the dishes - after 3 months of use we haven't had a single load come out with any dirty dishes. If pressed to pick nits I suppose we would probably give the Bosch's lower rack 4 out of 5 stars. The design works great for plates and silverware but bowls don't seem as convenient to load - or at least not as convenient as our old GE dishwasher. But thats really a very minor nit to pick on an absolutely fantastic appliance. Hope it lasts a long time cause we really love this dishwasher!

What's great about it: It is quiet
What's not so great: drying
The salesperson misrepresented this product. He told me that although there was not a drying element, the dishes and the inside of the machine would be totally dry as long as I left the dishwasher closed until the cycle was complete. Not true. I end up having to wipe the dishes as well as wiping down the inside of the machine each time I use it. There is also a bad odor to the inside of the machine. I tried to exchange it for another, but was not allowed to do so.

What's great about it: It works on every kind of dish!
What's not so great: Must use a rinse agent
I love this dishwasher! I am very happy with this purchase. Everything comes out clean and shiny. The food processor at the bottom works very well. There are never any leftover food pieces in the bottom of the dishwasher. There is plenty of room to fit all of our dishes (and we wash everything - pots, pans, casserole dishes, glasses, plastic...). I would highly recommend this dishwasher. Love it! One tip - you must use a rinse agent (we use Jet Dry) to get your dishes dry. That was something new for us but once we refilled that - even better!
