Top quality and quiet,
This review is from: Bosch : Evolution 500 Series SHE45M06UC Dishwasher - Black
We actually bought this Bosch dishwasher model SHE45M06UC at Lowes with a 10% discount for a total of about $635 in January 2008. It is superb! We originally were looking at the Kenmore and Whirpool lines in the $500 range. But after examining the Bosch we went ahead and spent another $135 to get it.
I think we could easily have been happy with the kenmore or Whirlpool models, but we are glad we bought the Bosch SHE45 instead. We are very pleased with it even at the premium price. Significant features: - All stainless steel interior and nylon coated racks (not likely to wear through and rust) - Opti-Clean dirt sensor to automatically adjust cleaning time - Regular, pot scrubber and half wash - Time delay - 51 db (super quiet) - Qualifies for an Oregon State engery savings tax credit - No heater coils exposed so you can place plastic items on lower rack PROS: Every Bosch is much quieter that any most other brand because it does not have a food grinder built in. It just uses a stainless steel mesh screen which is easy to empty and only needs to be emptied every month or so. We scape and quickly rinse our dishes before putting them in the dishwasher anyway, so a food grinder seemed superfluous. Fewer moving parts also means fewer things to break or wear out. Another feature we like is the stainless steel tub/liner which is heavier gauge than the similar Kenmore. Granted, our old Kenmore never wore out its plastic liner, but the Bosch interior is NICE. This model is not only quieter than even most Bosch models (you can barely hear it and is much quieter than our microwave across the kitchen), it also uses about half the energy per year as the cheaper SHE43 model. It is fantastic to be able to put large plastic items (mixing bwls, colander, etc.) on the lower rack. This is because most washers have a heating element exposed in the bottom of the interior and will melt plastic items to close to it. the bosh uses an enclosed heater that has the water forced through it making every part of the interior the same temperature as the water. Dishes come out VERY clean. Only uses one tablespoon of detergent for our Pacific Northwest soft water. Very easy to raise and lower the top rack. CONS: Drying of items takes longer as the heating element is not exposed in the interior. This is not a problem for just my wife and I and occasional family get togethers. We typically only wash a load ever 1-2 days. But if you frequently needed to do back-to-back loads for a large family or groups, then the Bosch line may not be the best for you. The racks seem not to hold our particular type of dishes as efficiently as I expected. Again, for just the two of us now it is no problem. I think the Kenmore/whirlpool may have a better rack design. Installation requires very specific routing of the power and water lines along the floor. This is because it fits so close to the floor that it has channels molded into the bottom to allow the passage of these two lines. However, with no experience I was able to do this by making sure I had long enough lines to get them routed through while the dishwaser was just in front of its cubbyhole and fully exposed. Other guys I talked to suggested taping the lines to the floor at the distances specified in the instructions.

Best Ever!,
By Joe (Foxboro, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bosch : Evolution 500 Series SHE45M06UC Dishwasher - Black
We bought the Bosch to replace a 10-year old Maytag that still worked quite well. The racks on the Maytag had rusted enough though that we couldn't repair anymore. We visited a local parts store and found out that the replacement cost for the two racks was $300.00 - ouch!
So we opted to buy a new dishwasher and the Bosch was on sale. We ended up paying $525 - and what a great buy that was. There are many pros: * Super quiet - you have to experience it to believe it. We have an open kitchen design and with the old dishwasher, we could NEVER use it while watching TV or generally on the first floor. The loudest it gets is way at the beginning of the cycle for about 10 minutes. After that, you can't even tell that it's on. * All stainless steel tub. Just looks nice every time we open it. It's also super clean and not prone to discoloration as with white interiors. * No heating element. This was another major reason we liked the Bosch. The old dishwasher had an exposed heating element that melted a few items over its life that got loose during a wash. It also used to get so hot, that steam would rise during the drying cycle from the dishwasher. I didn't think that was good for the counter tops or the wood cabinets. For the past 2-3 years we turned the heated drying function off. With the Bosch we do not have to worry. Other reviewers find this a turn off or a problem, as the dishes do not come out 100% dry. We have zero problem with that and are happy with the performance. * Dishes come out clean. You'd expect that, but one never knows. We are very pleased with the performance and cleanliness of the dishes. * Auto clean cycle is a neat feature and it counts down the time to completion. It's not as deep as the older model and does not hold as many dishes, but not by a substantial amount. The top rack has two height adjustments, which is slick. If you can live with a few European idiosyncrasies this is your next dishwasher. The pros way outweigh any cons you could dream up.

Outstanding dishwahser,
By Good guy (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bosch : Evolution 500 Series SHE45M06UC Dishwasher - Black
Having been disappointed with the cleaning power of past-owned DW's (Kitchenaid, Whirlpool, GE) I was apprehensive about this one but the excellent reviews convinced me to try it. It is outstanding! It cleans just about anything (except burned on stuff in a frying pan) and does it extremely quietly. It is quieter than our refrigerator. I am very impressed and would highly recommend this to anyone. This one works so well I wonder why people would buy the $1000+ DW's?
