Extremely disappointed after only 15 months

After such a short time this dishwasher has failed to impress.
When we first brought it home, I was thrilled about it's noise profile. I thought I wouldn't regret my decision at all.
Boy was I wrong.
It doesn't clean well. Despite using the official detergent, softener, and having very low TDS water, my glasses come out dirty on a regular basis. We often have to scrub them after going through the dish washer because crud gets CAKED on each glass. We now spend a fair amount of time scrubbing our dishes before going in the dishwasher to minimize the dishwasher's poor performance. Not what I was looking for from a top end dishwasher.
Most frustratingly, it is now at least 6-9 decibels louder than it was when we bought it making it's original appeal completely disappear.
I'm not sure if my expectations were too high, but I paid for one their top models to get a dishwasher that doesn't clean that well and is not quiet after less than 2 years of usage.
It's also out of warranty. I guess maybe they are supposed to be disposable. I recommend something far less expensive or a different brand entirely.

After dealing with washing dishes in the bathroom sink for 6 months during our recent kitchen renovation, I couldn't wait to use my new dishwasher. It is amazing. The dishes are sparkling clean and dry, and it is very quiet.

I've had this dishwasher for about a month. It is so adjustable it took me about 2 weeks to test out the many configurations to find what works best for me. I'm still finding new ways to load some of the kitchen items I use a bit less frequently. One of the best features is the adjustability of the silverware caddy. I use it doubled up as a short rectangle rather than long. I also find the third rack something of a game changer and am still finding how much of my kitchenware works in it, The only time I hear it is when water is emptying, so the projected time on the floor is very helpful. So glad I opted for this brand and model.

Excellent function. The appliance is very quiet as advertised, it cleans items extremely well, including baked on pie residue. The glassware comes out sparkling. The third top tray is great for utensils, prep dishes and container lids. I hightly recommend this product.

We love our new dishwasher. You never know it is on. We love the wash timing feature that shows on the floor in front of the washer.
The front of this model is clean and slick looking. All buttons are hidden on the inside of the door.
Our dishes are so clean every time.
Thank you Bosch for making such a great product.

We waited 14 months for thus dishwasher because of Vobud but it was really worth the wait!
This dishwasher is fabulous. We have very hard water and glasses etc. Always came out kind if filmy. Well, this dishwasher has a salt compartment to soften the water and all the glasseware now come out like they are brand new. It is extremely quiet and having three baskets is a real plus. Just LOVE it!!!!!

We installed ours about a month ago and love it so far. Very quiet. But I did notice last night that on the speed 1hr setting, around the 28 minute mark that it was louder than I expected it to be. I haven't looked up the icon that was displaying on the floor to see where in the cycle it was nor have I checked if the sound happened again the next time it was run nor have I checked if it happens on the full cycle, so lots of variables. It might have been dishes improperly loaded and were banging against each other. We'll see.
This model is a little pricey but we were doing a whole kitchen renovation so the added expense for this model upgrade wasn't a huge percentage of our total budget.
I do like the clean look of it. The brand name is not "in your face". In fact, you can't tell what brand it is unless you open it. I'm actually a little suprised about that.
The majority of the front panel is a brushed stainless so there are no finger prints. But the handle area to the top is shiny and shows every little touch.

Love top tray for spatulas,large spoons and otherwise hard to place items. Water softener works wonders with hard water in our town. No more spotting on glasses. So quiet and the time remaining projected onto the floor is a fun feature. Very versatile for fitting in large pots and pans because the dividers can be adjusted and folded down.

We had a stainless Bosch in our home for 18-20 years - totally repair free - so of course we replaced the dishwasher moving to a condo with another Bosch! I use fine china with a metal band and crystal for special occasions and always have washed in dishwasher but don't use heat - not necessary. Just hit the top of cups/glasses with a towel to absorb any excess water. The bottom rack is always perfectly dry with no water marks. I do notice that this model seems lower to the floor and you have to push down on the door to open, unlike the feel of my other Bosch. And, it's easy to accidentally hit the 'on' button on the left side. That said, love this dishwasher and notice the extra capacity. Oh, one thought, the dishwashers should have a bottom rack for left or right sides of sink. I don't like loading the plates turned away from me - ours is installed on the right. Our old model had a direction split in the middle and that was perfect place to insert a serving plate sometimes. Hope this Bosch serves us as well as the last one - at our age now it will probably outlive us.

We have had this Bosch for a short while but really like many features. The top rack is perfect for many items we wash like tops for our grand kid's cups. The heated drying and the time on the floor make it easy to know when the cycle will finish and insure the dishes are dry before we are ready to put dishes away.

The dishwasher is so quiet at times you may not be aware it is running. I love the fact that there are different cleaning options and the 3rd rack is a total bonus! The silverware basket could be a little larger - that is the only reason for the 4 stars.

Third Rack
Want a real top rack!
6/28/2021
This is our 4th Bosch in 17 years. This is the first model where the thrid rack is useless. There's no "silverwear" holder (well the one included would hold enought for one meal for 4 people). Because of the deeper profile, the second rack won't hold glad/rubbermaid containers and if I lower the second rack to fit those, I can't get pots into the dishwasher. What gives? Not sure who you designed the space for except those that don't cook and only host cocktail parties!

Operating instructions were not comprehensive or clear, which is different from our experience with other appliance brands. Even downloading the user manual from the Bosch website did not answer all our questions. We feel that we are not getting all the benefits this dishwasher probably offers.

I love this new dishwasher. I thought the 3rd rack was a gimmick but it is really useful. We put all of our small bowls and big serving utensils up there. We love that the middle rack is adjustable. We mostly use the middle setting but the flexibility is there when you need it.
I love being able to look at the floor and see how much time is left. Great feature!
Lastly, the unit does a great job of cleaning the dishes while being incredibly quiet. When we got it installed I immediately loaded and ran it. My wife walked in and asked if I was going to test it. She was blown away when I told her it was already running.
Definitely a pricey unit but we regret nothing: )

Hard to find in stock,but worth the wait. The wife was just tired of our old dishwasher that didn't dry well, and the noise that we - well , got used to. First time we kicked off the Bosch, she opened the door to prove it was running. It's incredibly quiet. Add that to the fact its much better at removing any caked on food particles, and it dries far better than our previous (non-Bosch) unit, and it was quite an upgrade. The only negative, if you can call it that, is we aren't quite sure what we can use the third-rack for effectively. Oversize flat-ware I guess, which we just don't have too much use for. But that's a small quibble.

This is our second Bosch dishwasher and we would not consider any other brand. It is so quiet you dont even know it is on except for the displayed white light on the floor that tells you the time remaining. My only minor criticism is that youhave to turn the power off. The d/w shuts off at the end of the cycle but the power button is on until you press it again.

This dishwasher performs very well and is very very quiet. All dishes, silverware, plastics come out clean, spotless and dry. For best results we wash at night and unload in the morning. There is a nice display that projects on the floor showing the time remaining and the cycle in progress. Very happy with the purchase.

The Bosch SHP88PZ55N has the best racks for the money, including a V-shaped third rack and an adjustable middle rack. The extra capacity and flexibility allow it to hold more dishes per cycle (including hard-to-fit items like trays, pots, and cooking tools) than its competitors, all loaded properly so that they should get totally clean. At 40 decibels, this dishwasher is also quieter than other dishwashers for the price, and most people won't even hear it unless they're standing next to it. Bosch dishwashers have one of the lowest repair rates of any brand, plus a better warranty and more helpful customer service than most.
My wife and I love this dishwasher.

The recessed handle makes it much easier to keep the front clean. I've yet to see drips running down the exterior front, a real problem with the unit this Bosch replaced. Inside, the third rack for utensils and silverware is wonderful! I run the unit about every three days so food is dried on. I've yet to see anything but clean items. The two lower racks look very well made. The unit I replaced had rusting racks and peeling protetive covering. I love the floor light showing the run time. The only thing I miss is not having a reservoir for detergent that lasts about seven runs. I almost forget to put the individual packets in each time:)

We bought this dishwasher sight unseen during the pandemic, so we mostly went by the Bosch name, since we also have their cooktop, fan, oven and microwave. There are both good and not so good features and performance to weigh before buying. First the pros: This dishwasher is energy efficient. Because it has no heating element, it cannot melt plastic, so you can put plastic in the bottom tray. It has lots of cycle choices and a wonderful delay feature. It shows that it is running by a light which shines on the floor. And it has a top tray for small items. But now the cons: The most glaring problem is a caution in the literature that you must put tall trays on the right side, and that happens to be the only place the silverware baskets will fit, so it's apparently one or the other. More generally, it is obvious that this dishwasher was optimized for plates and glassware, while my cooking, at least, uses skillets and pans. Skillets won't fit vertically because although this is a tall tub dishwasher, the middle arm is too low and would hit any tall vetical skillet. (apparently you can remove the middle tray and fit a gadget on to wash taller items, but who does that?) The distance between the lower and middle tray is so short that even when the middle tray is raised, a common Rubbermade gallon pitcher is too tall to fit in the bottom. And pots placed face down on the middle tray block the upper rack from being washed, so your bowls are not cleaned. Every time I turn it on, the apparent default is "crystal dry". This feature is puzzling because the literature says not to use with delicate items. I'm not sure what that means, but I am assuming that means nice glassware and plastics, so that would be a no for me. The plate racks are spaced and tilted at an angle that makes me skip a space between each plate so they don't block each other. Because it is just the two of us, I can run this dishwasher once a day. But if we were a family of 4, I would have to run it more often than that. Altogether, I do not see this dishwasher as a marvel of German engineering. It will work for us, but it is not beautifully designed and I hope Bosch can improve the interior design of the trays to better fit actual cooking cleanup requirements.

This is the best dishwasher I've ever owned. Installed about 3 months ago so I cannot speak to durability as of yet but so far no problems. Many cycles to choose from. I usually run on Auto with Crystal Dry. Glasses come out dry and crystal clean. Cutlery always clean. Hand prewashing not needed unless there are heavy baked on items. Plastic come out dry. Better than any previous dishwaher I've owned. Not to say very ocassionaly you may have a few drops of water left on a plastic item. The dishwasher runs silent. Took me awhile to learn to load. Many of the tines fold down giving open space for large pots and pans. Just read the manual on loading and over a short period of time you will learn how to effifiently load the machine. This one loads differently from my previous machine. Hope the durability is great. My last machine with the brand of the room it occupied only lasted 4 years. So far very happy to has this Bosch.

I have to wait till the dishes cool off before putting them away. It so quite I don't know it's working I peeked inside when I first got it I didn't believe it was working like the display on the floor tells you it's running and time it will end. Love love love this machine it's worth ever penny spent.
