BOSCH SHS53CD5N BUILT IN DISHWASHER Stainless Steel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We chose this dishwasher because of Bosch's reputation for quality and durability, including as recommended by Consumer Reports. It works very well, is reasonably quiet, and makes our lives much easier. I recommend an explicit Gentle cycle for future versions of this product -- it would provide an additional sense of confidence that dishwasher-safe items that are more on the expensive side (e.g., china, stemware) would be carefully treated by the cycle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is not the first Bosch dishwasher we've had, but not because there was anything wrong with the first one. When we moved, our new place needed a dishwasher and we were so happy with the first Bosch we had, that we bought another one just like it! The 300 series is not their top of the line model, but it definitely does the work I need it to do, reliably, quietly, and with the high standards of Bosch behind it! I love the top rack for silverware and that using it allows me to remove the silverware tub in the bottom, giving more room for pots & pans or plates. Another distinct benefit is that it operates so quietly; seriously, without the light that shines onto the floor indicating the machine is running, you wouldn't know it's on! Features that cost more in many dishwasher brands are standard with a Bosch (steel tub, quiet operation, soft touch operation pad on top of door). We are so happy with this dishwasher!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've heard claims that you shave to rinse dried on stuff. Well, it's almost true. The thick dried-on chicken grease only came 95 percent off the glass baking dish. Everything else came off completely, and we deliberately left everything on to test it. This dishwasher holds more than any I've seen. We stuffed it. The condensation drying works better than a heating element, and allows plastic tube put anywhere, even the bottom. It's very flexible – some of the tines can be folded down. The upper tray has several height settings. We rarely use the flatware holder because the third tray on top holds all of it, including serving and cooking utensils. The app allows adjusting settings, and tells you when it's done. We love it! The photo shows it underutilized.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a Bosch dishwasher when I bought my home. I knew it had been there many years, but it worked, so that was just fine, Then I finally knew I had to replace it. Of course, the replacement had to be a BOSCH! I love the new model. It's all I could want in a dishwasher. I LOVE it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are very happy with our purchase. After our last dishwasher this is by far a superior machine. We can use sparkling clean glasses after a long time. I also don't have to clean my dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. It is definitely worth the investment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good! When your previous dishwasher was with you for 20+ years, and you step into something new, it better meet the need and then some. The wife and I are very happy with our Bosch 300 series. So far, it has done all that was advertised. We look forward to many years of quiet, powerful cleaning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second Bosch dishwasher. The extra tray for silverware is very convenient and a nice added feature. I would not suggest getting the model that has buttons on the top of the door. My last model had the buttons on the outside and that was much more convenient overall washer is quiet, efficient, and gets everything very clean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this dishwasher. It does well with cleaning all of my dishes well and we have a lot of dishes with six people. However, it only lights up red when washing. It makes one sound when done and that light turns off, just like it is when the dishwasher is empty. I wish there was an always on green ligh illuminating the floor when the cycle was done. No one knows whether the dishes are done or if the dishwasher is just ready to be filled.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first Bosch dishwasher. Our old Whirlpool, which cleaned dishes fantastically but was incredibly loud, finally died an honorable death, and I debated and researched several brands and models, and finally succumbed to the Bosch reputation, and paid more accordingly. So far so good! We've had it for several weeks, and its cleaning capability thus far is excellent. It takes way longer than my old model so I am getting used to that, but that is standard for dishwashers now, as I hear. I truly love the third rack, well worth the extra on the price tag. The appearance is very pleasing, and I specifically waited extra weeks on this particular model to be shipped because I wanted the top control, and glad I did. Too tempting for little children to press buttons on the front. I like the adjustable height of middle rack. Still getting used to the idea of not rinsing my dishes before loading. A lifelong habit. I tested one pretty dirty pot without scrubbing first, and while there was no residual clumpy stuck-on food, it did not completely get off a brownish stain that I am sure would have come off had I scrubbed it by hand. But for regular dishes I have no complaints. Overall, I would recommend, 3 weeks into owning it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have always been a "Bosch family" because of their reputation for reliability, but this latest purchase has been a major disappointment. While our previous Bosch was flawless, this unit has been problematic almost from the start. By month three, we noticed it wasn't washing properly. Soon after, we began experiencing frequent draining issues. Now, less than two years after purchase, the unit has stopped working entirely. It is disheartening that a premium appliance would fail so quickly, especially after showing signs of trouble so early in its lifespan. We expected this to last a decade, not twenty-four months. We would love to remain loyal to the brand, but we need Bosch to stand behind their product and help us find a resolution
