I'm getting ready to replace my dishwasher and have decided to get a Bosch. There are a lot of different models and I don't have a lot of time to shop. Does anyone have a recommendation on which Bosch model to get? I don't need a lot of bells and whistles -- I just want something that cleans well, doesn't break down and is somewhat quiet. Thanks!!
I have a middle of the road Bosch, and I love it!! I'm sorry I don't have a model number for you, but it cost about $750 about 5 years ago. My parents just replaced their old dishwasher with an inexpensive Bosch and they also love it. My experience with Bosch has been fabulous no matter which model you buy, so I would say get what fits your budget.
Hi Erin - 2 people I know purchased Bosch dishwashers in the past 5 yrs. They are incredibly quiet and I like the option of the stainless steel interior. They both independantly complain however that it doesnt get dishes as clean as their prior dishwasher.
Food for thought
Hi I have the shx45 w/c we bought to replace an old bosch dishwasher its great! got it at ABT at a great price bout 800. super quiet too.
Sorry I don't recall the model number of mine. It is about 4 years old now, and cost about $900 when I bought it new. It is NOT the highest end one, I know that for sure. And it cleans my dishes just fine. It is AMAZINGLY quiet, and I think most of their models are... but to be sure you know what you are getting... look up the decibel rating on them. Mine was around 42 decibels.
This is the 2nd brand-new dishwasher I have had. The first one was a much LESS nice one by Kenmore, but it was relatively quiet when we first moved into our home. I could stand in the kitchen and talk on the telephone. After 2 or 3 years however, I could hear it in my bedroom at night when I was trying to go to sleep and it wasn't quiet... With the Bosch, people are stunned. I can't tell you how many times I have accidentally opened it mid-cycle because I didn't know it was running. Literally. We have a very open kitchen and the back of the bar the dishwasher cabinet is under faces the breakfast room and into the family room. When people visit us, they will sit there and look around and look around... and occasionally will ask something like "Did it start raining?" because you MIGHT hear an occasional ' swish swish'. I have even done the same thing myself....
