Very good machine that suits our needs
on October 5, 2020
Posted by: KenY
This Bosch replaced a 6-month old GE machine. The GE machine was probably the cheapest model which had a sprayer rising from the middle of the dishwasher. This GE was a nightmare - Yes, it cleaned well, but the rise-up middle sprayer and the configuration of racks made it a pain to use in a 5-people household. After 6 months, it developed cracks and leaked.
So this time I decided to try out Bosch. I did not pick this particular model... I grabbed what's available during the pandemic. As with everything else in this world, this machine is good, but it's not for everyone. A dishwasher performance is also affected by a user's preference, e.g. type of dishes they have (plastics are harder to dry), habit of keeping the dishwasher door ajar (to air out both dishes and machine), type of water and detergent, etc. For the record, I have mostly Corningware, and I don't mind leaving the door open after a wash cycle. My current location has soft city water and I soaked all my dishes (I know I shouldn't) before they go into the machine.
Under the above conditions, Bosch cleans well and dries well. I do expect some air drying after a cycle because I put kitchen towels in as well (which might have compromised its drying capability). No mold no smell so far. Also, the machine is quiet. The top panel design might deter some people (because they can't see the buttons once the door is closed), go and read tips below.
Several tips if you own this machine:
1) If you soak dishes ahead (i.e. no stuck on foods), you can save time/water by using the Express (40 mins) or Half Load (1 hour 40 mins) mode vs Normal mode (2 hours)
2) To pause a cycle, just open the machine door any time during a wash cycle. The "Active" button should be blinking. Once you are ready to resume operation, hit the "Start" button (the "Active" button should become solid now) and then close the door. If you want to stop this cycle, open the door and press the "Start" button until the "Active" button goes off. Basically you can control everything clearly by opening the door to use the top panel
3) You can adjust the loudness of end-of-cycle beeps (just follow instructions from the manual). The beeps will stop after a certain time. It does not go on and on and on
4) This Bosch comes with a plug. My GE was hardwired. So I got a contractor to install an electric outlet. If you prefer hard-wiring, you need to buy a junction box to connect this Bosch
5) I have no problem in putting a 12-qt (or 6-qt) soup pot, a 3-qt sauce pan, plus utensils from lunch and dinner (for a 5-adults household) into this machine
6) I love the two utensil trays (which can be conjoined or separated). I can leave one out to save space. Furthermore, they are awesome for chopsticks! One or two chopsticks *might* fall through the cracks but most of the time they don’t. This is a life saver for me!

One wish though: I wish this machine has the ability to raise the upper rack one more notch. Right now it's not easy to accommodate my 13.5-inch pan cover.
Conclusion: This entry-level Bosch hands down is much better than my previous GE.

Bosch Replacing Bosch
on October 8, 2020
Posted by: Hate Doing Dishes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second Bosch dishwasher, and I had long, dependable service from the first. Great new features: Ability to put place settings (knives, forks, spoons) in slots sy separate and drywell. Also saves space. Moveable racks are useful for outsized or odd sized dishes. VERY quiet and relatively speedy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this dishwasher. It is quiet. And you can put some really dirty dishes in it and you can set it to heavy wash and they come out sparkling

Works as Advertised!
on November 3, 2020
Posted by: Teddy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine was rated very highly by reviewers. Being a bit sceptical as we just threw out our old Whirlpool dishwasher which also was highly rated. Having now used our Bosch EVERYDAY since installation, our dishes are coming out as promised. We are so far very glad of our purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Husband not happy
on December 17, 2020
Posted by: Joan
The buttons to push are very confusing - there is no way to tell if it is finished as they are hidden when you close the door. Where to put the glasses is an anomaly. It does get the dishes clean though and if it lasts longer than three years I will be happy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very Pleased
on December 24, 2020
Posted by: Granny Jack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first forgein dishwasher and I am extremely pleased. I can put way more dishes in it than any of my other dishwashers. I like the different settings and I have found that all are nice to have and especially like the baked on cycle and the one next to it. My old dishwasher caused many problems and I have learned there is now a class action suit against them. I am very, very pleased with my new Bosch.

Bosch Ascenta Dishwasher
on January 22, 2021
Posted by: OB05
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a relearning period, we have discovered a dishwasher that presents spotless glassware and immaculate dishes and utensils.
Our only complaint is that it seems to handle less dishes and glassware/cups than our old Maytag.
Also, it's so quiet that you can't be sure it's really running.
