  1. gwen

    Good product, good service. Installers were puntual & good.

  2. ScottC

    This Bosch replaced the same model that lasted us 15 years with minimal issues. We have used it for about a month now and it is performing very well. It is slightly louder than the earlier model, and the racks are different but we are getting used to them overall we are very pleased Value that Bosch provides

  3. WilliamH

    Does a great job of cleaning. Usual cycle about 2 hrs, 10 mins. I paid for professional installation, but this dishwasher is designed for much easier installation than GE or Whirlpool. The drawers/racks are absurd unless your kitchen is packed with skinny dishes like Corelle. Too many gaps in the racks. Silverware tray was a joke but luckily I saved my old tray, which fit. Stainless steel interior. Overall, a good choice.

  4. RichardA

    Pretty good for the money. You can adjust the drying time and how much solution it uses. Could have picked one with more cycle choices but was watching budget.

  5. Kevin

    Super quiet. Interior is smaller than my previous one. Cleans well.

  6. EileenM

    Because I don’t use it every day, I have to rinse my dishes pretty thoroughly. On “normal “ cycle dried food does not wash off. I haven’t tried the extended cycles yet.
    I love how quiet it is!

  7. VeronicaR

    We have a more vintage style kitchen and didn’t want stainless finish. We went with this dishwasher for it’s features but also because it was available in white. Washes great and leaves few spots/streaks when using rinse aid!

  8. MarilynG

    It is a very nice design It looks very nice and cleans the dishes well But if you don’t like to dry dishes don’t buy it. The dishes are wet at the end of the cycle

  9. Anonymous

    Love my new diswasher. It is very quiet! It does takes longer for a cycle compared to other model.

  10. altlimit

    The price we got this dishwasher is usually on par with lower quality dishwasher. But this one was competing against mid range dishwashers based on price. This will be my new default dishwasher if I didn’t want to get an upgraded dishwasher.

  11. DougW

    in for a few weeks, so far, so good. does the job, maybe a little more noise than similar earlier model, but never a problem

  12. RB2020

    This dishwasher has been defective since day one, but Bosch will not honor their warranty.

    After trying every solution I could find online and in the manual (along with many detergents and dishwasher cleaners and the help of a plumber I know), I contacted Bosch, and they sent a technician to my house. He agreed with me that it was not working properly. He said they would exchange it.

    After he did a mandatory water hardness test, however, Bosch blamed the problem on hard water and said they will not replace (or repair) it. The technician agreed that hard water is not the problem. He said he has never seen this problem except in very old dishwashers. It certainly didn’t happen in my previous dishwasher or to the people I know in the same neighborhood with the same city water.

    It is leaving a thick layer of detergent caked all over everything (since day one). It is clearly not cleaning properly. It is NOT water deposits. (I have tried products for that, anyway.) (It is installed correctly.) The technician—someone who repairs dishwashers for a living—agreed 100%, but the warranty people at Bosch, who were never at my house themselves, think they know better.

    I called their customer service and made a claim, but they denied that. Multiple calls to customer service have gotten me nowhere. They refuse to do anything. I am now stuck with an expensive dishwasher that doesn’t work.

    Bosch has lost a loyal customer. They will lose more money from that than they saved by refusing to fix this one product.

  13. DavidF

    Excellent at cleaning. Very quiet. I find the organizing tines make it difficult to find places to load all various dishes (did not have that problem with my previous KitchenAid dishwasher). Silverware too easily bounces out of the basket if I drop items into the basket. The silverware baskets are a bit small.

  14. JoanF

    Nice and wuiet but Bosch is coming to fix a few problems. Dishes are wet after a cycle. Door does not stay open doesnt clean well. Silverware camd out dirty. Disappointed.

  15. NeilD

    It works fairly well and is quiet, but does not agree with documentation. It does not have a cutlery drawer which is shown in documentation. At the end of washing and drying there is still water inside. On installation day I was given a 12 hour installation period. I had to call several times to get a more accurate time.

  16. SylviaH

    This Bosch dishwasher from Best Buy is perfect! It cleans as well as described! I will definitely go to Best Buy for all my appliances.

  17. LarryM

    From purchase to everyday use our new Bosch Dishwasher has proven to be the right decision. It is quiet, yet thorough. Its various settings fit all our needs. Its simple design is perfect for our home.

  18. Grandma

    I knew of the brand and my son recommended it. So, I did purchase a Bosch…not the high end model as I live alone. It does a wonderful job.

  19. FrustratedInBoston

    Have had several Bosch units in various houses over the year. Hope this one works as well and lasts as long.

  20. Shani

    The dishwasher is a notable improvement over our previous model, effectively fulfilling its intended function. While it occasionally falls short in completely drying items, even on the sanitary setting, I would rate it at 4 stars. Considering its price point, it certainly offers a worthwhile investment for the convenience of having a dishwasher in place. I have now had this model for a little over 2 years and remain happy with the purchase.

  21. HarryC

    Everything is great so far thank you I like everything I purchase everything is in good shape, and will be purchasing again thank you

  22. WendyH

    I recommend buying this dishwasher it is so quiet it is amazing.

  23. MarcellaM

    Bottom tray does get off track easily, Moisture build up inside after running load. I open it to let it air dry. I am not sure if there is a hidden coil for drying.

  24. Hannah

    Bosch put the wrong utensil caddy in the dishwasher and I have fought with Best Buy and Bosch for a month trying to get the correct one! The bottom drawer always gets stuck too. It’s awful

  25. user374737

    Granted it’s the low end for Bosch, but it’s pretty flimsy. I would opt for a better model next time.

  26. GoodInTheory

    I ordered this appliance to replace an ancient one which my 91 YO dad had used onto its last legs. What a nice replacement this Bosch dishwasher is! It’s high quality, quiet, easy to operate (IMPORTANT!) and reasonable price wise. A double win-win! Kathryn from Princeton 9/1/23

  27. JohnN

    Outstanding cleaning but doesn’t dry dishes completely.

  28. MQSandoval

    Excellent product. functions easily . lightweight product

  29. Slee

    Dishwasher is quiet and works well. I liked that the unit came with the proprietary power cord that made the installation easy.

  30. Jonny

    It cleans really well. It does not dry. I forgot to check about that before I bought it.

  31. Sherry

    For me, this is a 5-star D/W because I don’t care so much if it dries completely; I don’t think I’ve ever had a D/W that did.
    It washes VERY well (but I do rinse first) and I love the hour wash (even tho it’s about 1.25 hrs).
    It’s a simple D/W without the bells and whistles I don’t need or use.
    Plus, Best Buy surprised me by having the best delivery process and there was good communication so that I could arrange the delivery and install around my high rise building’s very narrow (9-4 M-F) windows of being able to have these kinds of delivery/installs.

  32. paramedic62

    Would not recommend this dishwasher. We have had it for 20 months and it has quit working.

  33. LongwoodJohn

    Great dishwasher. Easy to use has a large capacity to load dishes, glasses and flatware.

  34. JoanneM

    Looks great. Works beautifully. Second Bosch dishwasher purchase. Will always go with this brand!

  35. DerrickS

    Dish design is no optimal for larger dishes.. doesnt dry completely. Bery quiet tho but takes a long time to wash.

  36. customer75862

    I know there are *a lot* of positive reviews for this machine. And I know that Wirecutter loves it, but this machine is a complete disappointment for me, and every time I use this machine I wish I didn’t have it. I would prefer to have my 26 year-old Kenmore back, if I could.

    Two major issues:

    – DEAD FISH SMELL – I will note that this problem is not unique to this dishwasher — it appears to be endemic to countless modern dishwashers, but this unit definitely has it. The issue is that the dishes end up smelling like dead fish. It is often so strong that I cannot eat from those dishes without *thoroughly* hand washing them again first. There are countless reports online, and discussion threads that are years long filled with people trying to solve this issue. There is no magic bullet. People have reported success with a variety of techniques, some only partial success, some have never been able to solve the issue, and some will purchase a different dishwasher with their fingers crossed. And if you’re wondering, our filters are clean inside. The problem was present with the very first cycle.

    – Absolutely TERRIBLE RACK DESIGN. Just awful. Like how can wirecutter praise these machines? It is designed to be used in a very specific way. The bottom really only works well if you have a lots of plates and thin bowls. That is just not our use pattern. We use lots of cups, deep bowls, pots, mugs, bakeware, and cheap storage ware. Because the design is so single-minded, we can only load approximately half the dishes compared to our old machine. Also note that one of the mounting clips for the moveable tines began to break within the first 3 weeks because it is apparently *very* easy to move the moveable tine in the wrong direction?

    Other notes:

    – I am coming from 26 year old kenmore with the rotating timer, a heating element, and the big lever handle that you flip from left to right to lock and turn on the machine. That machine began to die all at once. IT could have been saved, but it would have cost as much as this new dishwasher.

    – Sometimes new is nice. And while I didn’t pick it out — my landlord did — I may have very well ended up selecting this unit based on the reviews. I was really looking forward to this machine. But that anticipation has quickly grown into a profound disappointment. It’s something that I have come to lament nearly every day when I interact with this machine.

    – Air drying seems to work ok, Considering how hot the dishes get, it makes me wonder how much energy you really save with these units. I think I would still prefer a heater element in the base.

    – I haven’t figured out a way to pause the machine and open the door without water spraying out when you open it. That might just be me.

    – It does in fact seem to clean dishes well enough. But it is not a magic box, and you will most likely need to remove / rinse egg yolk from your plate before you wash it — as just on example.

    – The fact that it actually seems to clean the dishes to some effect, and that the drying seems to work decently, and that it really is very quiet, just makes the disappointment about the fish smell and poor rack design hit that much harder.

  37. MaryM

    Great and silent machine that makes my dishes very clean and shiny

  38. GlennE

    The product was delivered and installed on schedule. The old one was removed and my kitchen was spotless when the install team left.
    The new product functions as advertised.

  39. JamieT

    I love my Bosch dishwasher. I cleans really well and its quiet. It is very easy to use

  40. MaryM

    Well yes it’s perfect. It saves me from washing dishes. Super quiet also

  41. JohnathanB

    Quiet running machine that clleans really well the inside is a bit akward to lay out dishes if you have a lot or oversized. But overall love it.

  42. JosephA

    Very nice dishwasher and very good price work perfect

  43. LanceP

    Basic Bosch does the job wonderfully. No it not SUPER quiet like the $1,000 + models but works great even on the 1 hour cycle full of dishes

  44. LoriH

    Great value & runs perfectly! Very happy with my purchase. Easy to load and ample room for all size dishes.

  45. RobertW

    Very nice looking and fits well between cabinets. Works great and haven’t had any problems

  46. SilviaB

    good dishwasher, works very well. would recommend to everyone

  47. Pete

    Was able to catch this at a steal. Open box. Great dishwasher. Does what it needs to. Just like I wanted. Lightweight. Not loaded with crazy features but I’m ok with that, I don’t need all those other features., just wash and dry my dishes! Compare to my old dishwasher,,,, this thing is quiet! Love it. Hope it last as long as my old one did.

  48. DWood

    Product arrived in good condition and on time! Installation was very easy. This Bosh 100 series is very quiet when running. The dishwasher looks good with our other appliances. My wife loves her new Bosh 100 series dishwasher. It cleans extremely well with only one wash. This dishwasher holds a lot of dishes. I would buy this product again and I recommend this dishwasher to anyone.

  49. Dmytro

    work very quietly. stainless steel inside. has 2 sprinklers. intuitive and easy control.

  50. AhmarJ

    Not a good dishwasher the panel went out on it twice. It would not dry the dishes properly. Very disappointed.
