What customers say
This Bosch dishwasher earns high praise for its near silent operation and exceptional cleaning power, consistently leaving dishes spotless. Users value the flexible interior design, including the third rack, which maximizes loading space. The stainless steel tub adds to the perceived quality and quiet performance. The main drawback noted is the condensation drying, which often leaves plastics and mug interiors damp, requiring towel drying. Despite this trade-off for energy efficiency, the superior cleaning and reliability make this model a worthwhile investment for those prioritizing quiet performance above all else.
Know before you buy
This model operates at 46 dBA, which is quiet enough to run while you are entertaining guests or watching TV in an adjacent room without being a distraction.
PureDry is an energy-efficient drying system that uses a closed condensation process. It is particularly effective for plastics because it avoids the harsh, direct heating elements that can warp or melt delicate items.
Yes, the RackMatic system allows you to adjust the height of the upper rack to three different positions, providing extra clearance for tall stemware or bulky cookware in the lower rack.
Home Connect lets you start cycles, monitor progress, and receive maintenance alerts directly from your smartphone. It also integrates with voice assistants, allowing you to control the dishwasher hands-free.
Yes, it features a standard third rack specifically designed for cutlery. This frees up significant space in the lower racks for larger dishes and bowls.
AquaStop is a leak protection technology that detects leaks in the base of the dishwasher. If a leak is detected, it automatically shuts off the water supply and pumps out the remaining water to prevent potential floor damage.
