Good value

Pros: good value and resonably quiet, quick service response and repair by bosh
Cons: rinse agent dispenser did not work initially
"Our dishwasher is working fine now. There was an initial problem with the rinse agent dispenser but Bosh provided a repair person who fixed the problem immediately. We have had this dishwasher for only a month so I do not know hte long time perforemance of this product."

great dishwasher
Posted:5/11/11
Pros: price cleans great
Cons: silverware tray would be better in the front

"I bought this for one of my rental units to replace a 12 year old Bosch. This was extremely easy to install, and works perfectly. It is far more solid than any others in its price range, and many more expensive models for that matter."

Very Pleased, next generation product
Posted:2/15/11
Pros: well designed product with subperb controls
Cons: can't think of any.
"It was everything we wanted and more. Love the precise burner heat control and the ease of cleaning the stove top. The oven was a big plus and quite an improvement of all other brands we have had in the past. The large digital display for the oven temperature made baking a breeze. Well engineered product with a easy to use and understand control panel."

So far so good
Posted:2/10/11
Pros: Quiet
Cons: none so far
"After reading reviews about the USA dishwashers, we decided to go with a Bosch and so far we haven't regretted it. Some little things are pretty stupid, like why isn't the water supply elbow included? Other than that it was a piece of cake to install. It's VERY quite when running, you can barely hear it."

It's all good!
Posted:12/7/10
Pros: quiet- cleans well -dries well -seems well built-, good overall value especially if you factor in, energy savings
Cons: water intake faces the wrong way
"First-we got it as scheduled. Bravo AJ Madison!
Second-It's a great dishwasher-QUIET, cleans well and actually DRIES well. I had my doubts about this, but using the rinse agent does the trick at considerable energy savings, since no heating element is used. Some water will accumulate in a depression on certain mugs or glasses, but that's it. We run it every day without issues. The big question is how long will it last. The electronics on my previous Frigidaire pooped out after 7 years. The silverware basket placement is fine. Don't know why other reviewers made such a fuss about it. The water intake is strangely placed, facing towards the front, so I had to run a braided flexible hose to connect the water, but no big deal. I'm thrilled with it!

Dishwasher is just too plastic - no substance to i
Posted:9/13/10
Pros: works well
"Its plastic...I wanted something with a bit of substance and thought Bosch products should be that...but it feels really plastic. I wish I'd spent more and got one that wasn't so plastic."

Most efficient dishwasher I've ever had
Posted:5/27/10
Pros: excellent "wash" - very quiet - accommodates many, many dishes glassware bowls etc.
Cons: cutlery basket way back so difficult to get to, when one wants to add a spoon.
"Trusted Bosch, because their hi-end products got such good reviews, and my trust was rewarded handsomely.
Price for excellence was the same as for a medium-priced dishwasher, but the quality of this model far surpasses that of a medium-priced dishwasher. My dishes, glassware, etc. are sparkling clean; I can fit almost twice as much in the machine; I can barely hear it even when in the kitchen.
I'm delighted with it!"

My new BOSCH
Posted:3/23/10
Pros: appearance quiet operation
Cons: location of flatware basket.
"Runs so quiet, I HAVE TO PRACTICALLY PUT MY EAR ON THE DOOR TO HEAR IT.
Love the sleek appearance, the only thing I would change is the location of the flatware basket, would like it more to the front.

Great buy
Posted:3/18/10
Pros: good price and quality good looks. cleans super, well
Cons: silverware basket no display
"As this was my very first dishwasher purchase, I did not quite know all the things I should look for. I went for Bosch, because I know they are durable and good quality. And I went for the particular model because of the good reviews and great price.
I have had it for 2 weeks now, and i have ran it every day at least once. I never pre rinse any of the dishes or pots- I just don't believe in it. If I went through the trouble of doing that, what is the dishwasher for? This machine cleans very well!!! The power scrub cycle cleans even the dried macaroni and cheese and dried oatmeal-without pre rinsing!!!
I wish the silverwear basket was in front. I hate to pull out the bottom rack each time I want to put a spoon in. The other thing that I would like my next dishwasher to have is the digital display to show how long the cycle is, or how long left til its clean.
I don't know if it's me but I feel like it takes a long time before the machine stops and the "clean" light turns on.
All that said, i am happy with the purchase. Also happy with the customer service of AJ Madisson.
Not too thrilled about the shipping. Though it was shipped pretty fast, the time window that the driver gave us, was 4 hours long and they still hadn't shown up by then. Missed some long hours of work because of them."

Great Purchase
Posted:1/18/10
Pros: price quiet quality clean dishes
Cons: none so far.
"I purchased the Bosch Ascenta to replace my old and loud Hotpoint dishwasher. Wow the Bosch is much quieter and cleans the dishes extremely well. It was very easy to install about 60 minutes. The purchase price was ridiculously cheap $369.00 minus $20 for using Ebillme. Then I received $50.00 cash for clunkers mail in rebate from AJMadison. A $50.00 Energy Star rebate from Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). I also received an additional $20 in Bing cash back for a grand total of $229.00 for a excellent dishwasher. I couldn't have purchased any model for less at my local retailers. Thank you AJMadison."

friendly driver
Posted:1/18/10
"Very quiet and nicely designed. Only thing I dont like is the plate holders are slanted and I prefer them straight up. That is just a personal preference and may be because that is how all my dishwashers are designed.
Shipment arrived in a timely manner during Christmas season. Delivery driver was very nice and called ahead to let us know he was coming to the right address."
