Best Bosch Home Appliances Freestanding Dishwashers

3 years old and malfunctioning. The cycle times are all off, so after 2 hours it can be stuck in a wash cycle still. $200 for a call out, not… Read more

including the actual repairs (the operating unit replacement module is $329). I've bought so many Bosch products, but this will be my last. I don't care that there's a 2 year warranty, your products should last at least 5 years! It would be cheaper to buy lesser models and replace every 2 years. Very disappointed.

No other qualities can make up for the terrible upper shelf layout. I switched from an LG to Bosch based on high ratings for reliability and a bonus… Read more

warranty offering but after 5 days I would return it if I could. In particular trying to stack any kind of plastic container (such as you might use in a freezer), takeaway container, or similar is hopeless. The various angles mean things don't sit flat, and the tines that don't fold down are awkwardly spaced and awkward lengths.

The dishwasher washes okay. It's not great but it's not bad. If you use the Vario drawer (low sliding rack at the top) it's hit and miss how well… Read more

they get washed. What this review is about is the RUST SPOTS on the front panel that appeared within months of buying it. I contacted Appliances Online who put me onto Bosch who said they would arrange a service call. I supplied photos. After 4 weeks having NOT been contacted to arrange a service call, I contacted Bosch again. I spent 35 minutes on the phone while they tried t work out what their response was which they decided was that the rust spot is not their problem. There was no apology for not contacting me. No explanation for the total lack of communication. I requested their response in writing. Here it is:

"Based on the information provided our tech team advised that Tea stains on stainless steel are primarily caused by surface oxidation due to chlorides, tannins, and environmental factors, leading to cosmetic brown discoloration.

Environmental Factors

Tea staining is most common in coastal areas where salt from ocean spray settles on stainless steel surfaces. The salt retains moisture, especially in high humidity, creating a corrosive environment that breaks down the protective chromium oxide layer on the steel, resulting in brown discoloration. Other environmental contributors include pollution, dust, industrial fumes, and temperature fluctuations, which can accelerate the staining process."

Okay, so we live nowhere near the ocean so I'm not sue why they think their 'out' is salt spray! But this is a stainless steel panel we are talking about so early rusting is, in fact, your responsibility Bosch under warranty!! It's weird how our much larger double-door stainless steel Samsung fridge has absolutely no rusting on it after 3 years but the Bosch dishwasher that was only 6 months old when I made a warranty claim does. It's not 'Environmental', Bosch. It's the poor quality of your product.

Bought two of these dishwashers for rental properties. Have had zero complaints and no warranty or service issues at all which was exactly what I was… Read more

looking for. All the feedback from tenants has been that they appreciate the non-complicated ease of use, non fussy appearance that suits basically any kitchen decor, the lack of noise and the lack of any impossible to read LCD screens and touch sensitive buttons that don't work with wet fingers or with gloves on. This is a basic machine with proper old-school tactile clicky buttons (and only three of them). It is exactly what you want from a dishwasher without all the modern crap you don't want like phone app connectivity to make some functions work, compulsory wifi/internet access so it can phone home to Bosch servers and be disabled when the maker decides it needs replacement for no reason, and overly complex functionality that requires a university degree and 3 weeks to read the user manual to just make it do a basic wash of the breakfast dishes. This is how all dishwashers should be. Functional without all the useless bells and whistles that no-one uses that then break and cripple the entire machine when you find out the cost to repair is more than a whole new replacement machine. For tenants in a rental, this is the ideal machine because users who have nothing invested in a machine they don't own, just want it to work with an absolute minimum of fuss and learning required. Buy some detergent, put it in and turn it on. More than that is too much for a dishwasher.

If I could rate no stars I would. Faulty when unpacked. Smells like burning rubber for the last month. Stinks out the whole kitchen every time it’s… Read more

left open. Nothing fixes the smell and believe me I’ve tried everything. Bosch refuse to replace or repair or even call back. Honestly will never buy Bosch again.

Cleans fine but is not nice to use – It cleans fine, however its annoying to use. The lights on the control panel light up the whole area so you are not very clear on what setting you… Read more

have chosen. There is no timer on it so no idea how long until its finished. The top tray is stiff to pull out, so you have to yank on it which makes everything fall over. The bottom tray is the absolute pits. The row of tines at the back are not big enough for dinner plates, only the front ones are. This means it's heavier at the front so when you pull the tray out, it drops down into the gap of the door hinge, making it all fall. I use the dishwasher every day and it drives me insane as you forget about it until everything comes crashing down.

Worse washing machine I bought. Waste of money. Can't see the time for the programme.I don't even know if it's a start or a pause. No specific button… Read more

for pause. Don't know how much time is left to finish the cycle. The display is useless. After moving to a new home, I started to use it.
