Rusts on the inside; stains on the outside
By Exscotticus
Two years after purchasing Bosch's "stainless" steel "rust-free" dishwasher with a "lifetime warranty" against rust, we discovered... rust. It was in a very specific area, where the metal filter attaches to the interior tub. We called Bosch and were told that it was our fault, that it was our water, our dishwasher soap, our flatware--anything but the dishwasher. We persisted, explaining that we use a water softener and a reverse-osmosis system and that our water is no worse, and probably a bit better, than average. Furthermore, if it was merely our water, then we would expect to see rust everywhere. As for our dishwasher soap--well--it comes from Costco, and I'm sure they'd take exception to Bosch's claim that it promotes rust. We offered our own theory, which is that the metal used in the filter is dissimilar to the metal in the tub, resulting in a galvanic reaction and corrosion to the metals. Basically, the two different metals, pressed together in an aqueous environment, results in a battery. But for Bosch to admit this would be to admit a design flaw--the sort of admission that leads to a class-action lawsuit. We already know Bosch uses a variety of "stainless" metals. For example, the metal used on the door is a very inferior grade of stainless steel that is easily streaked and spotted. And the way you can tell is to use a magnet. If the magnet sticks then it's ferrous metal and more prone to staining.This section is taken right out of the manual: "Stainless Steel TallTub: A rust-free, hygienic interior surface with a lifetime warranty." Bosch routinely advertises a "lifetime rust-free warranty". The sales reps will tell you that the unit comes with a lifetime rust-free warranty.Yet Bosch claims they don't actually guarantee the tub to be rust-free; they only warrant against "rust-through", meaning you will have to live with the rust until it eats a hole through the metal--until water starts pouring into some part of the dishwasher where it doesn't belong (hopefully not endangering you, your family, or your home, in the process). When you consider that Bosch basically expects you to use their rusting appliance until there's a catastrophic failure, you realize that the advertisements, selling points, and sales pitches regarding "rust-free" and "lifetime warranty" are all fraudulent.Bosch offered no remedies and suggested that the rust can be removed (on our dime, of course). The problem is that even if we use a rust-removing product, the rust will return in time, because the source of the rust--a design flaw--remains.

My 2nd Bosch
By B. Moore
This is the 2nd Bosch washer I have bought from a local home improvement store. The first one was an entry level back at our old house replacing a noisy cheapo whirlpool in 2006. We bought Bosch because of how quiet they ran. Now in our current home we are replacing another cheapo whirlpool (dead) with another entry level Bosch but the price point is a couple of hundred less than 5 years ago. First, this has a stainless tub with a plastic bottom, whereas the old one was all stainless.Now we get to how quiet it runs - on my old Bosch you had to put your ear next to the washer to hear it - the new one you don't have to, you can hear it pretty clearly but i would not describe it as loud by any means - you will not have to adjust the volume of a TV set in the kitchen or have to talk over it. I would guess its on par with or a bit better than most dishwashers at this price point. I am guessing Bosch is now using how quiet a washer is to set price points on their washers.It cleans very well and dries better than the last one. Let me share what I know about a Bosch washer and how it Dries. You do not have the traditional vent on the countertop for steam to escape it goes through the drain - so you need to use a rinse aid like Jet Dry. The washer will heat the hot water supplied and has a hidden heating element under the Plastic/Poly bottom. It is possible to turn the heating element off - you need to consult the manual to adjust this and or the amount of rinse aid dispensed. With the heating element on, sanitized selected and using a rinse aid - all my dishes are dry in fact it dries better than the old model - the dishes are so hot right after a cycle that they are too hot to handle.FYI - Many dishwashing detergents have been forced to change their formulas (remove phosphates in the past 12 months) some traditional detergent brands are now terrible to the point where people are buying new dishwashers when they only need different detergents - I have found the best results with Finish tablets.This washer is made in the USA and i do not expect it to last as long as my mother-in-law's still running trouble free 16+ year old German built Bosch. The stainless steel outer door feels a bit flimsy when you wipe it down.All in all I think I got a fair product for the money and do not think I would have a better product for the same $ I spent on this. The only thing else I would say is that it does not have a solid food dispenser and if you want near silent operation you and your wallet will need to step up the Bosch line.Prosbang 4 buck, made in usa, cheaper $Consmade cheaperUPDATE 6/27/13 - I am still getting consistent performance out of my dishwasher. If I had to do it all over again, I would have spent a bit more for a 100% stainless tub as this does not live up to its name in terms of quiet performance. All in all though I do feel as though I did get a reasonable bang for the buck. I did have a Bosch front load washing machine that I wound up replacing after 3 years, so Bosch will only get my money for dishwashers, wiper blades & spark plugs from now on. I have not experienced any rust whatsoever as the other reviewer mentioned. Recent sellers on amazon of this product seem to be selling this at a premium it doesn't deserve as I got mine at a big box retailer a year and a half ago when it wasn't on sale for quite a bit cheaper. Check prices thoroughly.

Excellent Value
By SD Dave
Great dishwasher at a great price. Gets dishes squeaky clean. Plenty of features for what I need - You can set "Extra Dry Heat" cycle and set the amount of rinse agent. I use "Auto Wash" function with Extra Dry Heat off and it figures out cycle strength, wash time and amount of water on its own. Dishes are still hot to the touch when unloading a half hour after complete. It's quiet so I don't have to turn up the TV anymore when the dishwasher is going.
