We love our Bosch dishwasher. It cleans the dishes really well, and it's the quietest dishwasher we ever had. We're very satisfied with it.

I have never owned such a quiet dishwasher; it barely hums. I have to listen hard to hear if it is working. Guarantee, it definitely works: the cleaning power is excellent! My dishes sparkle! The only criticism (and why I did not rate it five stars) are the racks. The slots are angled awkwardly and crowded, making it hard to evenly stack plates of different sizes. Overall, this is an excellent dishwasher and I highly recommend it, especially if you want a quiet power cleaner.

Dishwasher well does not drain and leaves ODOR
Steve
7/19/2022
Our Ascenta cleand fine and is quiet, however the filter well always leaves a pool of water which smells disgusting everytime we open the dishwasher to add items. Our local service told me that was by design and a follow up call to Bosch support confirmed that. Apparently the pool of water is left to prevent the seal from drying out. This is our second Bosch and the first had no such "design" and drained completely. I strongkly suggest Bosch review the resumes of their engineering staff who obviously are not qualified for real world situations. Pathetic. This will be our last Bosch purchase.

I am satisfied with many features and aspects of my Ascenta dishwasher. There is a modest learning curvey to be aware of, such as the functions of the various cycles and what is required to dry the dishes. I love the stainless steel interior, the flexibility of the racks and silverware holders, and the near silence when it is running. I would recommend this brand and model to a friend.

Overall, good machine. Quiet, cleans well. Only negative is the arrangement of the racks. It is not flexible and limits number and type of items.

First, the website is easily navigated for product registration. The unit itself is extremely quiet(I had to put my ear next to it to make sure it worked!). The upper rack has ample space for multiple size cups, small bowls and other miscellaneous items. While the lower rack is large, the different sized plate slots make it difficult to load large amounts of dirty plates. However, it make up for this with ample room for bowls and larger dishes/pots. Also, plenty of room for silverware. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the Bosch Dishwasher!

I love the stainless Teel interior. I never have to rinse the dishes and they come out sparkling. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't dry the dishes. Other than that it's awesome.

New to Bosch

Overall, the function/cleaning power of the dishwasher is great. The shelving is very cheaply made, however. Within the first 2 weeks of use, one of the tines on the lower rack broke off at the base revealing rusty metal. I have NEVER had this happen in any dishwasher.
I contacted Bosch, and they said they would replace the lower rack. I have not received the replacement and have been waiting one month.

A great dishwasher for the price
Skydiver TD

After my old dishwasher died, I looked at quite a few online. This one was highly rated by Consumer Reports, so I bought it.
It's one of the cheaper Bosch models out there. It does feel less solid than other dishwashers I've had. It looks fine.
I did have a couple of issues with loading this one. The silverware trays aren't on the door side of the rack, so you need to open the door fully and pull out the bottom rack to reach them. Just a minor annoyance. Also, with the layout of the racks, it feels like they hold less than other models I've had. Not a big deal for me since it takes me more than a week to fill it anyway.
I was most concerned with wash performance, and it hasn't disappointed. I just did minimal rinsing of the dishes before loading them and everything came out clean.
Others will note/complain that there is no drying element in this unit. That's not an issue for me since I rarely use the drying cycle anyway. When I opened the door the morning after washing, everything was pretty dry anyway and there were no spots on my glasses. This "deficiency" has zero impact on me.
All in all, I'm happy. I could have paid another $500 for a more solid feeling model, but I doubt that the wash performance would be any better, so I'm good.

My new dishwasher cleans extremely well, it's very quiet. He only thing that I am still getting used to is it stacks differently than all my other dishwashers. All the tines are slanted and it's difficult to stack bowls, no problem with plates but bowls and pots do not stack well. I am sure I will get used to it, but still hAving issues at the moment.

This unit took 3 months to find, but worth the wait. Very quiet and really cleans. The silverware baskets could use a re-design, and would be better with one rather than two smaller individual items. The glassware holders are also limiting as compared to my old unit.
However, for the value i'd purchase it again.

Great with Minor Annoyances
Steve
7/12/2022
Very solid dishwasher with three minor annoyances:
- the two kickplate screws are too small and don't hold the plate on
- newer units have the water supply connection on the front bottom of the unit which is illogical. Both the drain line and water supply connections should be on the bottom back of the unit
- old & new units require an "L" connection for the water supply connection. A better solution would be to position the water supply connection with a swivel 90 degree feature so as to allow installers to directly connect the hose without the "L"

The first time I ran it I realized 3 things: it was easily programmed, it was solid and well built, and I didn't know it was running because I couldn't hear it. We replaced a higher end competitor's model, and there was still no comparison. Excellent craftsmanship and design

BOSCH Ascenta - Average Quality
DebG
7/9/2022
Average quality for the price, however we don't feel it lives up to the Bosch reputation for overall quality. We are disappointed in the drying function or lackthereof. Every load must be wiped down and I'm concerned that mold might grow inside (only have had it for a couple of weeks). It is very quiet which we appreciate. Overall just seems like a cheaper model/option and I wish we would have gotten a different one or went with a different manufacturer.

Satisfied - but …
DonM
7/5/2022
I have owned two Bosch dishwashers and loved them both. When the last one needed replacement, skimpy availability left me with no choice but the Ascenta line or a months long wait for the premium model. I resigned myself to the plastic tub floor, but expected other features to be mostly the same across models.
The first disappointment is the flip out stemware racks. We rarely use them for stemware, preferring to hand wash, but they make handy places to put oversized utensils or even shorter glassware or small bowls. In older models the design made the racks easy to swing up out of the way when not needed and flip down for use. Now they're designed so that the stowed position is flipped DOWN, meaning that if you have glasses already in place, they're IN FRONT of the rack and it can't be deployed without first unloading the items in the way. Also, because they will not swing up past horizontal, once deployed its nearly impossible to get anything positioned in the space below them - even if there's ample room for the thing there. Before, we could just lift the rack a bit and put something under it. Really, that was a bad design decision rendering a useful feature essentially useless. (Note to the engineering department: your Turkish competitor has a pretty spiffy take on this feature. The rack flips up when not in use, and its deployed height can be adjusted and locked in place to accommodate different sized items in the space below it.)
The second disappointment is the configuration of the utensil baskets. Maybe the optional replacements are better, but the default setup is two separate baskets, where before the two baskets could be snapped together to allow them to be removed together for unloading. This is not such a big deal, and as I said, maybe the optional upgrade addresses this. I guess I'd just got used to the convenience and hadn't expected not to be able to join them.
Finally, while the plastic tub floor is aesthetically less pleasing, I had resigned myself to that. And I may be speaking beyond my expertise in suggesting this, but I'm pretty sure that the absence of stainless steel there affects the drying action of the machine. As I understand it, these units use high water temperature and evaporation to dry. The steel retains heat better, creating a better opportunity for the water to evaporate more completely. With the plastic, the temperature falls too rapidly for the drying to complete. I expect a few puddles on upturned concavities, but utensils in the basket are almost never dry when we open up after a cycle. And if we wait long enough they will dry, but will have spots. (Yes we're using a rinse aid and the high heat drying option.)
All that said, it's a very nice product with good build quality, and it mostly meets our expectations. The sound level is a bit higher that our previous model, but perfectly acceptable.

Delivery was just right. When we installed the dishwasher, we found the drain tube was missing. We called customer service and they scheduled delivery for a replacement. It came next business day . That was an excellent response.
The dishwasher has performed very well since installation. It is quiet and effective.

After any longer wash, you have to open it immediately to let them air dry

This dishwasher is less than 15 months old and the main panel and pump had to be replaced. That is completely unacceptable for a high end dishwasher. The repair people told us that this was common. Really? Bosch is giving us a discount on repairs, but we live in the country and have been without a dishwasher for almost 2 months now.

Purchased the Bosch dishwasher based on reputation, Consumer Reports and personal research.
Pros: Extremely quiet, cleans dishes as expected and looks nice with my other appliances.
Cons: No heated dry unless you use the sanitize feature. Utensil baskets do not sit securely without a lot of effort to lock them in place on the prongs. They utensil baskets also have a lid that does not seem to serve a purpose, and the basket pockets are not deep enough to hold longer utensils. Rack design is not convenient. Dishes have to stack at an angle and the prong placement is too close together. It's hard to put large pots in the bottom rack even with the top rack in the highest position. Top rack also has slanted prongs so you cannot use the prongs for drinkware.

Our Bosch Ascenta dishwasher is never noticeable: there's total quiet when it's going through its cycle, it has an energy saver rapid wash that's at the push of a button and dishes are spotless without any pre rinse whatsoever. What's not to like? Nothing. Period.

It's so quiet I tell my guests to see if they can hear the dishwasher when it's running. As long as I take them out at the end of the cycle they dry very well. I was concerned based upon reviews about not having a heater but I am very pleased with this machine after many uses.

Having now used this dishwasher for a few weeks I am completely satisfied with the cleaning and ease of use, and especially with the low decible level. I elected to install the diswasher myself and therein lies my only disappointment. Almost every picture was difficult to use given that there are a variety of kitchen layouts that
exist and the diagrams only depict one. Also, replacing an old hardwired dishwasher required purchasing a separate electric cord and outlet box through the Bosch website - an additional cost and delay.
