Bosch ADA 18" 800 Series Recessed Hndl, 6/5 Cycles, 3rd Rck, 44 dBA, RckMatic,10 Pl Stgs - SS

I was up against a challenge looking for a new 18" dishwasher to replace my old GE that had run its course. My old appliance was not cleaning well, the spring on the door was broken, and the racks were rusting. I assumed the poor cleaning performance was due to age and that the unit needed general cleaning and service. The final straw was when the water intake became clogged and the machine could not pull water. I left the country for 4 months before having the opportunity to look for a new machine. Upon my return, I realized I was going to have to get rid of dishes and switch to paper plates or get rid of my toddler.....because there just wasn't time for it all. Fortunately, a local store had an open box, Bosch 18" on their showroom floor. I had been told by my local appliance repair guy to only buy GE, Whirlpool, etc....but time was of the essence and I had heard good things about Bosch. Because I had spend the last few years "cleaning up" plates before and after putting them in my old machine, I decided that I would rather pay more for a superior product that would save me time and money in the long run. I have now been using my new Bosch for 1 1/2 months and am loving it! I love the extra room I get on my 18" dishwasher just from the 3rd rack and adjustable racks. I no longer have to worry about putting bowls and large items on the bottom rack since the top rack has its own cleaning arm. Dishes come out clean and dry - eliminating all the time I spent checking each plate and fork to make sure there was no stuck-on food and re-washing 1/4 of the load. I love how quiet the machine is too! Now, my only challenge is to figure out the child-proof settings to prevent my toddler from stopping the machine mid-cycle. So happy I made the switch to Bosch....only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!

This smaller dishwasher has worked beautifully, and though it needed some replacement parts after 2.5 years they were fairly easy to get.

easy installation. quiet. no extra parts to buy for installation. high quality fit and finish. no leaks. gets dishes clean

Love almost everything about this dishwasher, but I just can't figure out how to load dishes, glasses, pots & pans...nothing really fits!

GREAT product. Can't even hear it run and we have a small house with kitchen close to living room. Dishes turn out great.
