Fantastic value dishwasher

This unit replaced one which lasted 7 years until the rails on the upper rack came apart and spit little ball bearings all over. I see that the new one has a completely different system and that could not happen. IOt does a great job whether lightly or heavily loaded.

Quiet, efficient, good performance
5/16/2021
After our now 7 year-old dishwasher (brand not mentioned, bu not Bosch) finally died, after limpingalong for a while, we needed a replacement quick. Because of the pandemic, finding one, specifically a Bosch, wasn't easy, not when we wanted a white one to match our other appliances. The Ascenta SHX3AR72UC seemed to be the best choice given the limited availability of models in white.
Once installed, the diswasher performed quite well and, despite not being the quietest Bosch model, was remarkably quiet to our ears, more so than any dishwasher we have owned up to this point. Dishes came out clean (what more could we ask for), and we are quite pleased. As for longevity, that remains to be seen, but all indications are that it will last longer than our previous one - thankfully.

The Normal cycle takes nearly three hours. I expected more time but was not informed as to how long to expect? It would not run more than an hour and quit. For two weeks I did not know what to do as New! Customer Service was of no assistance and ill informed. An on line technician told me to cut power five minutes. Now it works well. The manual is too brief in information.

We had a Whirlpool dishwasher that was barely 4 years old that stopped working. Since the cost of the repair May have cost almost as much as the original price of this unit we decided against the repair. After seeing this Bosch dishwasher recommended in Consumer Reports we purchased it and are very pleased with it

Bosch appliances always deliver. It was a simple decision to replace our old model with a new Bosch when the time came. This model fits in beautifully with our navy and white kitchen and is so quiet you don't even know it's on. The only suggestion I would make is the addition of a clean indicator when the cleaning process is complete. This appliance does a brilliant job of cleaning dishes and pots & pans and the price is so reasonable for such a quality product. I highly recommend this dishwasher.

Wish we could get back our old Maytag with new racks. The Bosch soap dispenser doesn't lock, and the contralto works when it wants to, or may lock up for no reason. Owner access attempts failed until warranty expired. Can't wait to give this one away, and get something that works.

Inlet valve failure
Slither
2/2/2021
The inlet valve on my dishwasher completely failed after 7 years of once-a-day usage. I realized that there was a problem when the machine made odd noises, did not clean the dishes, did not heat up, did not dry the dishes, and did not dissolve the detergent tablet. The clincher was that it permitted only a small amount of water to enter the tub. I wish that I had realized years before, when the dishes began to come out dirty, that a new inlet valve was needed. The valve's failure had surely been gradually developing. Upon a dissection of the old valve, I observed that the conical black rubber washer that opens and closes to control the fill water was hardened and distorted. My water is from a river-sourced municipal supply and I do not know it to be particularly chemically active. I believe that an inlet valve should last longer as they did in my non-Bosch dishwashers.

I finally got rid of my 30+ year old dishwasher at the advice of my son-in-law who is a plumber, as he had seen where pumps go out and it is too late when the owner finds out. It cleaned so well and I've been told the new models don't. Bosch has proven to be that a new model can actually do an amazing job of cleaning and drying all while very quiet. Love it!

I'm not especially happy with this dishwasher. It sometimes leave small dirty spots on dishes or the bottoms of cups, which the 15-year old machine I had before didn't do.
There is no indication that the machine is running while it's in a wash cycle. It's so quiet that it's often hard to know that someone's switched it on. I pull the door open to put something in, and the water splashes out. There should be a light visible on the top row that says it's running.

Some pros and cons
ChefArturo
1/23/2021
I had an LG dishwasher for around 10 years until a door spring broke. My neighbor recently purchased a Bosche machine and loved it so I called his appliance person. I did not want the machine with hidden controls, but the wait for the machine I wanted was way too long. I got used to the hidden controls and hope you will, too. I like the way you can enhance the configuration of the baskets in the machine: there are arrays of little arms in the lower and middle racks that give flexibility so you can fit your dishware in the washer. I did not like the top basket for flatware so I removed it and had more vertical space in the middle basket. After a week or so, I put back the flatware basket...I really like the easy to remove basket in the bottom of the washer that collects debris. And most of all, I love the quiet way the machine heats the water without a visible heating coil. That has allowed me to put plastic food container lids in the bottom rack without risk of heat damage. What I don't like is that the Bosche dishwasher has less capacity than my previous LG, but I feel it is a better machine. I highly recommend it.

Good replacement for 20-yr-old Bosch
Dala

I wouldn't have a need to replace my old Bosch Millennium dishwasher, except for damage to the drain hose and using that as an excuse to replace.
That said, I love the top panel controls and quiet operation. I wish the ok'd rack configuration were still to the front rather than up the side of the lower rack; reason: to reach the farthest utensil bins, the lower drawer must be 100% open, whereas having had the utensil bins on the Front of the lower rack meant just cracking the door for access to all bins. Otherwise it's a duplicate of my old Bosch, bottom-of-the-line, but all the dishwasher this family need.

This dishwasher has excellent cleaning and is literally silent. I installed it myself, no problems. The only issue is the design of the racks. The spacing isn't a good fit for the dishes and glasses we have- but this may be just our sizing

I didnt believe the owner's manual when it said only to scrape dishes before putting in the dishwasher, but did as recommended. I have put dirtier and dirtier dishes in it and so far every single time, they came out spotless. Also, my wine glasses, which are used frequently, perhaps too frequently, come out with no spots or white film every time.

We are delighted with our quiet, efficient effective dishwasher. Our one annoyance is that it beeps when the cycle is done, and we can't seem to find a way to turn it off. There is no reason to have it beep, and continue beeping, until someone turns it off. Overall, we are delighted with the upgrade, and found it worth the significant shipping delay in the time of Covid-19.

Bosh Dishwasher Review

Like all household appliances, this dishwasher has it's good and bad feaures. On the good side, we like the quietness. We can run the dishwasher while watching TV in the adjacent family room without even knowing its running. It seems to do an adequate job of cleaning the dishes too.
On the "not so good" side, the interior seems to be very cheaply made. In particular the folding side racks on the top shelf seem to be flimsy.
We're satisfied with the product but are still waithing to see what's so great about it as to justify the high price tag relative to competitors .

After a relearning period, we have discovered a dishwasher that presents spotless glassware and immaculate dishes and utensils.
Our only complaint is that it seems to handle less dishes and glassware/cups than our old Maytag.
Also, it's so quiet that you can't be sure it's really running.

My old dishwasher caused many problems and I have learned there is now a class action suit against them. I am very, very pleased with my new Bosch.

The dishwasher worked great for fifteen months, then the water pump broke. The appliance repair company was overloaded with other repairs, so it took six weeks to get the dishwasher fixed. Sixteen months and $160 later, it is fixed. The water pump was not under warrenty. This should not have happened so soon.

The buttons to push are very confusing - there is no way to tell if it is finished as they are hidden when you close the door. Where to put the glasses is an anomaly. It does get the dishes clean though and if it lasts longer than three years I will be happy.

We previously had a GE but bought a Bosch because of the dealer. I'm not particularly fond on the machine. I feel that it is low end and doesn't have the executive features I wanted. For instance, 1. To start the machine, you push the start button. Then you shut the door HARD and hope that you did it within 4 seconds. 2. The machine is very quiet, so quiet you can't tell when it's running. 3. You have to open the door to tell when it's done running and then the light over "clean" goes out. 4. The product does not clean especially well. 5. The "fly spinner" on the bottom of the upper rack comes off easily and yet is hard to replace. I simply don't like the machine and would like to upgrade to a better model. mdh

This is my second Bosch dishwasher, and I had long, dependable service from the first. Great new features: Ability to put place settings (knives, forks, spoons) in slots sy separate and drywell. Also saves space. Moveable racks are useful for outsized or odd sized dishes. VERY quiet and relatively speedy.

This Bosch replaced a 6-month old GE machine. The GE machine was probably the cheapest model which had a sprayer rising from the middle of the dishwasher. This GE was a nightmare - Yes, it cleaned well, but the rise-up middle sprayer and the configuration of racks made it a pain to use in a 5-people household. After 6 months, it developed cracks and leaked.
So this time I decided to try out Bosch. I did not pick this particular model... I grabbed what's available during the pandemic. As with everything else in this world, this machine is good, but it's not for everyone. A dishwasher performance is also affected by a user's preference, e.g. type of dishes they have (plastics are harder to dry), habit of keeping the dishwasher door ajar (to air out both dishes and machine), type of water and detergent, etc. For the record, I have mostly Corningware, and I don't mind leaving the door open after a wash cycle. My current location has soft city water and I soaked all my dishes (I know I shouldn't) before they go into the machine.
Under the above conditions, Bosch cleans well and dries well. I do expect some air drying after a cycle because I put kitchen towels in as well (which might have compromised its drying capability). No mold no smell so far. Also, the machine is quiet. The top panel design might deter some people (because they can't see the buttons once the door is closed), go and read tips below.
Several tips if you own this machine:
1) If you soak dishes ahead (i.e. no stuck on foods), you can save time/water by using the Express (40 mins) or Half Load (1 hour 40 mins) mode vs Normal mode (2 hours)
2) To pause a cycle, just open the machine door any time during a wash cycle. The "Active" button should be blinking. Once you are ready to resume operation, hit the "Start" button (the "Active" button should become solid now) and then close the door. If you want to stop this cycle, open the door and press the "Start" button until the "Active" button goes off. Basically you can control everything clearly by opening the door to use the top panel
3) You can adjust the loudness of end-of-cycle beeps (just follow instructions from the manual). The beeps will stop after a certain time. It does not go on and on and on
4) This Bosch comes with a plug. My GE was hardwired. So I got a contractor to install an electric outlet. If you prefer hard-wiring, you need to buy a junction box to connect this Bosch
5) I have no problem in putting a 12-qt (or 6-qt) soup pot, a 3-qt sauce pan, plus utensils from lunch and dinner (for a 5-adults household) into this machine
6) I love the two utensil trays (which can be conjoined or separated). I can leave one out to save space. Furthermore, they are awesome for chopsticks! One or two chopsticks *might* fall through the cracks but most of the time they don't. This is a life saver for me!
One wish though: I wish this machine has the ability to raise the upper rack one more notch. Right now it's not easy to accommodate my 13.5-inch pan cover.
Conclusion: This entry-level Bosch hands down is much better than my previous GE.

Overall we like it a lot, it is quite and cleans and dryes well. it takes a bit of time to determine the best way to load a new dishwasher, as we get so used to loading it the way we did with the old dishwasher.
The lower rack does not roll back smoothly especially when it is fully loaded we always have to lift it a little on the left side to get it back in the dishwasher also the all finished single is not loud enough. I don't know why you choose such a high pitched sound as those are very hard to hear when we get older. I have to stand in front of it to hear it even at its highest volume.

We like the unit. It's quiet and the layout of the racks is efficient. It has an annoying 4-ring ring at the end of the wash that repeats itself every minute or so. I like to do the wash when I go to bed but the repeating rings is heard from the other room and it interupts my sleep (maybe I'm a light sleeper). I have used the delay timer but the rings are still not timed with my overnight sleep routine. Is there a way shut it off or make it do the "end-of-wash announcement" 4-ring cycle just once?

Purchased though and installed by Home Depot. Delivered without "special" cord, had to buy one.
Program control "freezes" sometimes, can't be shut off or changed. Soap dispenser compartment tricky to close; two step process. Rack arrangement not efficient for our dishes. Consumers Report rating at top not warranted.
At times, think we would pay another $787 to have our old Maytag back with new shelves!
Positive notes -- very quiet, dishes very clean.

The Bosch cleans great, way better than the GE Profile we replaced. There are issues with drying, even with the extra dry option selected. Open the door to let it dry further, but plastics still drip when unloading. Going back to Consumer Reports ratings, the Bosch series that dry better don't wash as well. I also wish the racks had more flexibility as far as folding down. And I can't fit my cookie sheet below.
