What customers say
Consumers overwhelmingly praise the Bosch 500 Series dishwasher for its exceptional quiet operation and superior cleaning power. Reviewers consistently highlight the near silent performance, making it perfect for open floor plans. The washing system achieves spotless results on heavily soiled items, enhanced by the flexible third rack that boosts capacity. While cycle times are long, most users agree the cleaning efficacy justifies the wait. A minor drawback is the condensation drying system, which sometimes leaves plastics damp. Overall, satisfaction remains high, confirming this model is a premium investment for those prioritizing quiet performance and reliable cleaning quality.
Know before you buy
At the end of the cycle, the dishwasher automatically pops the door open to allow moist air to escape and fresh air to circulate. This process significantly improves drying performance, especially for plastics that typically stay damp.
Yes, at 44 dBA, this unit is exceptionally quiet. It is designed to run in the background without disrupting conversation or television, making it an excellent choice for open-concept living spaces.
Zone Wash allows you to concentrate the dishwasher's cleaning power on a specific area, such as a heavily soiled pot or pan. It is ideal for tackling stubborn, stuck-on food without needing to run a heavy-duty cycle for the entire load.
The Rackmatic system allows you to adjust the height of the middle rack to three different levels, even when it is fully loaded. This gives you the vertical space needed to fit tall stemware on top or larger platters on the bottom rack.
Because the control panel is located on the top edge of the door, it is hidden when the unit is closed. To solve this, the dishwasher projects a red light onto the floor, which stays illuminated until the cycle is complete.
The 3rd rack is designed to sit at the very top of the unit, specifically for cutlery and small kitchen tools. By moving your silverware there, you free up significant space in the bottom basket for larger dishes and bowls.
