Never owned a Bosch appliance before & I found that I love this dishwasher. It is very solid compared to the Maytag & Whirlpools which I have owned. The dishes and plastic come out dry. Glasses are crystal clean. I was skeptical about the silverware basket.

This machine is much too small for a family of 5 that cooks a lot. I wouldn't recommend it. If I could return it for another one i would in a heat beat

  Smaller interior than my old model

The only complaint I have is that the unit is not flush with the baseboard like our old one was. This looks to be attributed to the manner in which the door hinges open. I will have to come up with a way of closing off the gap I now have at the baseboards.

  Long Cycle

This is my second Bosch Dishwasher, the first one kept leaking. I had the repair guy 5 times till I gave up. Now this one keeps giving me the E 25 error code. I have cleaned out all the filters and I have verified the unit is draining, yet I keep getting this code.

This is the best dishwasher I have ever owned. It is amazingly quiet. In fact I have to hold my ear close to the machine to see if it is actually working! I no longer rinse any of my pots and dishes and the everything comes out sparkling and clean.

Researched dishwashers and finally decided on this Bosch. We are over the moon with our purchase. It's whisper quiet operation is our favorite feature. There's ample room for every pot, pan, plate or glass. The silverware holder is removable for bigger items.

  Doesn't dry well

Don't like the fact that you have to push the power button off at the end of wash ccycle. I don't want to have power on machine unless I use washer.

  Long cycle time

I'm the one that unloads the dishwasher in our house. Cleaning: When I unloaded our old Maytag, I would have to rewash 30% of the dishes because they didn't come clean. This dishwasher is 100% clean over 3 loads so far! All the dishes are cleaner than anything that came out of the Maytag.

This dishwasher is wonderfully quiet! It cleans and drys very well. The only thing I don't feel they did well is the design of the racks. The bottom one is very easy to derail and just seems too lightweight. This is the only part of the washer that seems poor quality to me though.
