Bosch
4.6
(247)
"Cool, I just ordered the Bosch SHE53C85N model. Drying isn’t a top priority for me, it’s more so the build quality and cleaning ability."
"I swapped it out for a Bosch 800, couldn’t be happier."
"I have a 15 year old Bosch that I just reinstalled after a kitchen remodel because it has worked flawlessly for 15 years!"
"Besides Bosh or Miele are the most reliable. Kitchen Aid is probably next after that, they make good dishwashers."
"Bosch 800 Series. You want reliable, there a go."
"We installed a Bosch in our kitchen 20 years ago. Still cleans as good as the day we bought it. Still as quiet as the day we bought it. No repairs required in 20 years."
"We used to think our Whirlpool was great, and then when we remodeled our kitchen we got a brand new Bosch 800 dishwasher and it cleans even better and is just fantastic and super quiet."
"I never thought I could actually love my dishwasher. Then I bought a Bosch 800 series (9 years ago). I fell in love with it almost immediately."
"Our house came with a 3 rack Bosch dishwasher & we’ve loved it. Quiet. Well designed."
"Our 16 year old Bosch 600 died and we replaced it with an 800 two years ago."
