Bosch Built In Dishwasher SHX3AR7

What's special about German engineering is special about Bosch. Bosch takes pride in their ability to overcome technological obstacles. They face these daunting challenges so they can produce world-class, intuitive machines that use fewer resources. And that's why they'll never be afraid of the work it takes to engineer the world's best machines. Available at AJ Madison. Their vision comes directly from the words of Robert Bosch, whose vision is still being lived by employees everywhere. This spirit is also embedded in all their appliances, which help their customer's lives day after day. Best-in-Class Quiet Bosch looks at noise reduction from all angles, as they've employed 18 unique sound-reducing technologies in their washers. And as the quietest line of dishwashers in the U.S., Bosch has a silence rating as low as 39 dBA (quietest dishwasher sold in North America). All Bosch quiet levels are certified by an independent lab and printed on the fascia. Most Efficient Winning the 2011 ENERGY STAR Award for Sustained Excellence was just the latest feather in Bosch's cap - after all, they've won two straight ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Awards. German-Engineered Quality When they talk about German engineering, they're talking about their commitment to producing the world's best products. They use the smartest thinking to make complex machinery easy to operate while using the highest-quality materials to build them.

Love my dishwasher!
Posted:3/26/13
Pros: everything
Cons: nothing
"I could not possibly be any more thrilled with this dishwasher. I purposely leave the dishes "as is" (no rinsing) when loading (including dried cereal, eggs, and peanut butter). Dishes come out sparkling every time. I've had no issues with dishes not being dry (I do usually use the sanitize feature, this probably helps). If there is some resting water, I just leave the door open a bit for an hour or so while doing other things and I come back and they are dry - even the plastics. This dishwasher is so quiet, it is difficult to know it is running even when standing next to it. It also looks great. I am very glad that got the model with the buttons on the top, so they don't destroy the view! A new dishwasher isn't the most exciting part of a kitchen remodel, but when friends ask how it's going, the dishwasher is usually the first thing I rave about. Note - so far I've only used the Finish products as recommended."

The silence is blaring
Posted:1/10/13
Pros: it does very well what you bought it to do
Cons: none
"What a quiet D/W should be.
It cleans the dishes and leaves them sparkling. If you open the door before it has cooled down water will form. We do them late at night and in the morning they are sparkling and dry."

Cons: not happy with the loading but learning
"Love the special china cycle. Cleaned up after huge holiday dinner in no time and at the end of clean up all was washed and ready to put away. I am learning to load. Change doesn't always come easy even when it is an improvement."

Nice!
Posted:9/30/12
Pros: Quiet
Cons: long cycles
"The best thing is that it is quiet!
I would never have paid over 600 dollars for a dishwasher except it had a $300 rebate card. I gave "value" a 2 star based on the original price.
The cycles run for a very long time. Why is that? I rinse my dishes well before loading them. When in Florida you don't want to keep food around the kitchen area...."

great dishwasher if you use the right detergent
Posted:9/20/12
Pros: appearance, Quiet, easy to opperate
Cons: dish spacing, expensive detergent required, small tines, small compartment
"the dishwasher is a great dishwasher but you have to use the right detergent. we used the finish tabs supplied with the dishwasher and they left the dishes feeling greasy so we switched to the cascade liquid we used with our old dishwasher. the cascade works better but we are still going to try the cascade tabs and hope they work better. it is quiet, all you hear is the watter running out the drain and it looks really good in the kitchen. it has much less room than our old dishwasher that took up the same space. it also does not dry the dishes at all. the tines are small as well large things fall over."

Posted:8/2/12
Pros: quality and price make this machine a good value
Cons: black front panel is blah -prefer textured surface
"I installed the Bosch Dishwasher SHX3AR7 myself about 1 month ago and learned to appreciate it's features. Above all it is well insulated and a quiet machine. There are several setting options (i.e. settings) that you can choose from. The beeping at the completion of the wash notifies you that it is finished, a nice reminder. The controls at the top of the door make reading the controls easy. The racks are adjustable with ample storage and good quality. The stainless steel interior is attactive and functional."

On the Whole I Love It!
Posted:7/12/12
Pros: in my review!
Cons: wish it had a little more room
"I have nothing bad to say about this dishwasher. Consumer Reports recommended it highly in its price range and I bought it. It is so quiet that I can't hear it all from the next room and am barely aware of it in the kitchen. It doesn't have quite the capacity of my old Kenmore, but I am so happy with the cleaning job it does that I don't really mind. I wash some larger items by hand now, but that's not really a problem."

Pros: super quiet. cleans the dishes well.
Cons: none
"After much deliberation and online research, we decided to go with this dishwasher as it was the highest rated in Consumer Report. So far, we love it. It does the job and is so quiet that sometimes we are not sure it is on! The integrated controls give the dishwasher a sleek look."

Great dishwasher w a few quirks
Posted:6/4/12
Pros: noise cleaning ability looks sanitize cycle, choice of cleaning cycles drying of plastics
Cons: different layout and smaller size than dishwaasher, made specifically for the american market
"This is absolutely the best dishwasher we have ever owned. We live in a small/moderate size town home with an open downstairs floor plan, we used to have have run our old dishwasher at night with delay start. With the Bosch we can run it anytime and never know that it is running until it beeps at the end of cycle. The cleaning with Finish Power Tabs is excellent, we only scrape our dishes. You need to be prepared for the interior layout, which is a European design and may seem small to many Americans used to their cavernous dishwashers. This may lead to one/two more washes per week for a family of four, but for us it has been well worth it. I would highly recommend this appliance to anyone looking for a moderately priced high quality dishwasher. Use a liquid rinsing agent as recommended by Bosch."
