What customers say
This Bosch dishwasher earns high praise primarily for its exceptional quiet operation, often requiring users to check the indicator light to confirm it is running. Consumers consistently report excellent cleaning performance, easily handling heavily soiled cookware thanks to effective spray arms and the flexible third rack. The robust build quality reinforces its premium positioning. The main drawback noted is the condensation drying method, which often leaves plastic items damp. Despite this trade-off for energy efficiency and silence, the superior cleaning power and unparalleled quietness solidify this model as a worthwhile investment for those prioritizing a peaceful kitchen environment.
Know before you buy
This model operates at 44 dBA, which is exceptionally quiet. You will barely notice it running, making it an excellent choice for open-concept kitchens where noise can be a distraction.
The 3rd rack provides a dedicated space for flatware, large utensils, and ramekins. By moving these items to the top, you free up more room in the lower baskets for larger pots and pans.
No, this Bosch model uses a condensation drying system. It relies on the heat retained by the stainless steel tub to evaporate moisture from your dishes, which is more energy-efficient and gentler on plastics.
Yes, the RackMatic system allows you to easily adjust the height of the middle rack. This gives you the flexibility to accommodate taller glasses or larger plates in either the middle or bottom rack.
AquaStop is a safety feature that detects leaks in the base of the dishwasher. If a leak is detected, the system automatically shuts off the water supply and pumps out the remaining water to prevent potential floor damage.
The Express Wash cycle is designed to clean lightly soiled dishes in under 30 minutes. It is perfect for when you need a quick turnaround during dinner parties or busy family meals.
