Moderators Travis In Austin Posted April 27 Moderators Share Posted April 27 I haven't had to buy one in 20 years (maybe because I switched to Bosch, or maybe I was just lucky?). Has anyone been in the market recently? There is a great deal of range to the Bosch line now. I like the ultra-quiet top end, but reliability and dry quality is always a factor. Thanks in advance.

cincymat Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Pretty sure that’s the high maintenance Bosch model.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincymat Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 From Goggle, Are Bosch dishwashers made in the USA? Where Are Bosch Dishwashers Made? With the exception of some Benchmark models which are manufactured in Germany, Bosch dishwashers are made in the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMeader Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Great Brand, but there is an issue. Please take one of your plates and wine glasses and put them in the dish washer. Why, European dishes and glasses are smaller than US and it can be an issue for everyday use 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMeader Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Also some models require the use of Salt to soften water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice timing for this thread as we are looking at a new one as well. I can pretty much guaranty my wife wouldn't consider letting me get this model. Probably going to be LG or Samsung. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, I'm not sure what model our Bosch is but it accommodates our dishes, bowls, and everything but our pilsner glasses and we live in Texas. 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMeader Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 That is good news as the Bosch dishwashers do a great job, we had the one with the silverware tray on top and it was a few years back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezin' Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I do not care for dishwashers. Inconsistent results IMHO. And I'm single. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeK Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I got 20 yrs out of a basic Bosh dishwasher. The pump failed and was no longer available. We are 3 yrs into a Kitchenaid 38 decibel dishwasher that is almost silent with no issues so far. I buy half priced scratch and dents at Lowes or Best Buy.

Marvel Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 When we updated our kitchen (removed carpet and dark built in cabinets and electric stove), we added a dishwasher. We've never used it. We both will wash and dry, but they are almost always done before we leave the kitchen. The largest employer in our county is the Roper Corp., now wholly owned by GE. But hey are owned by Haier, a Chinese company. A friend of mine has worked there his whole life, getting ready to retire. He said the new stoves and appliances they make are the cheapest he has ever seen. They are built here and shipped to China and they make money on them. His complaining may be sour grapes, but there could be some truth to what he says. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't use ours often..it's just the wife and I. But when we have guests or a dinner party it is nice to have. Quiet and does a great job. Heats the water so hot it does NOT have an electrical drying element. Of course we rinse and remove large food remnants before placing in the machine. Edited April 30 by babadono I meant NO Heating element required 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
