This dishwasher is very energy efficient. It uses very little water, yet it does a great job of cleaning. I don't rinse anything, and it almost always gets the food off. I also don't use as much detergent with this dishwasher as I did my old one. It heats the water to a sanitizing temperature, so I know my dishes are germ free. The only drawback to this dishwasher is that it does a poor job of drying. It does save energy by not drying as much, but it leaves the dishes fairly wet. Noise Level This dishwasher is much quieter than any other dishwasher I've heard. I have an open concept main floor, and I can still hear the television while the dishwasher is running. Cleaning Time It takes just under two hours including drying time. Loading Flexibility The bottom rack allows for very tall items because there is no heating coil taking up room. The heating coil is internal. Some of the bowls and pans have a tendency to not empty because they don't fit efficiently in any spot. Design This dishwasher has stainless steel interior. Durability Our last Bosch dishwasher lasted 10 years, and we ran it 1-2 times daily.

When I purchased this dishwasher, I wasn't sure about it because honestly it was more than I was expecting to spend. I trusted the salesperson, and am glad that I did. It is well worth the extra money. One of the things that really sold me on this machine was the stainless steel interior and the fact that there is no heat element in the bottom of it. I can't tell you how many plastic pieces I've ruined from landing on the element. This is now a non issue! I also am pleased with the added sanitization feature. It's nice to know that my glasses and dishes are germ free. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this brand to anyone, and as a matter of fact I have! Noise Level This was one of my most important requirements when choosing a new machine. My Bosch doesn't disappoint. I barely know it's on when it's running. Cleaning Time This might be the only area where I might think about complaining, but honestly I'm so pleased with everything else, it's minor. Loading Flexibility I have several options when loading this machine. I have the option of moving things around to accommodate odd pieces as well as plenty of room for normal daily pieces. Performance No matter what detergent I use, my dishes are always clean and glasses streak free. I am more than happy with the performance of this machine. Design I am happy with the smooth sleek lines of the exterior and also pleased with the design of the interior.

A few months ago we decided to buy a new dishwasher because ours was just not getting the job done anymore. I had to wash the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher and then check them closely when they came out to make sure they were clean. The other issue with the dishwasher was that it was very loud. We generally waited until bedtime to run it because it was loud enough to disturb what we were doiung. We took a trip to the local home improvement store and picked out a Bosch. I had heard how quiet they are and how great overall they work. The reviews were right. This dishwasher is the most quiet appliance in my house. Even the refrigerator ice maker is louder with the water filling than my new Bosch .My dishes come out clean even if I do not wash them before they go into the dishwasher. I cannot recommend this dishwasher enough to my family and friends. I would recommend it to anyone looking to have a dishwasher that does what it is supposed to do and does it quietly.

I love that Bosch dishwashers have a stainless steel interior instead of plastic. The dishwasher is quiet and does a good job washing dishes. I always use the auto-clean feature and it takes about 100 minutes to wash and dry. The dishwasher has sufficient space for all of my plates, silverware and cups. I use finish detergent and rinse aid and haven't had any issues. I do check the trash trap regularly, which is easy to twist off and dump out. I have had the dishwasher for 3 years now and no problems thus far. The dishwasher does a great job of cleaning greasy utensils and plates since we have it use really hot water that I wouldn't want to wash by hand. I haven't used any of the other functions like delay or sanitize yet.
