Our Dishwasher died a bit ago, looking to replace it in the next week or so.

Looking at the reviews the Bosch 500 gets pretty good marks and my wife like Bosch.

Anyone have one at home....any issues?

Have had a Bosch SHE65T52UC/02 dishwasher for several years, which is similar. Works well, extremely quiet, so far no issues. Only minor pita is the need to manually clean the food filter out every few washes, but that’s just a matter of running it under a stream of water in the sink. Did I say it was quiet? Sometimes I have to look at the display panel in order to tell that it’s running, except when the wife puts a foil pan in as part of the load - then you can hear the water spray hitting the pan each time the arms rotate!

Not that exact model, but we've owned Bosch for years - the quietest dishwashers we've owned. Downside of Bosch is that they don't do the best job of drying (European design, don't want to waste energy), and many don't have an end of cycle indicator that tells you clean or dirty, but other than that, best dishwashers we've found.

Well let you know in a week, this is getting delivered Friday. Mrs Sigmund picked it out, she's happy and that's what counts.

Don't know the model, but we've had a Bosch dishwasher for about 3 years now and it's been hassle free. What I like the best about it is how quiet it is.

We have had a Bosch 800 for a year now. It does a good job, is ridiculously quiet, and has a lot of nice features.

Just installed one 2 weeks ago. Wife has no complaints. Cleans better than the one it replaced (Kenmore). Bought the cheap $550.00 one at Lowes

We got one, several weeks ago.
I love it. My only gripe is that it can get a little musty smelling if you let it sit closed, while damp. I just fold a dish towel and hang it over the door, between washes.

Get one.

We have a Bosch. I don't know the model. It is very quiet.

If I could do it again, I would buy a model where the display is visible when the door is closed. It is very quiet, but it takes two and a half hours to run a cycle. I like to know where it is in the cycle.

We have no problem starting it right before we go to bed. It is that quiet.

We always use the sanitizing cycle for all of our washes and don't have a problem. But it does add an extra half hour to the cycle.

Not sure of the model but I think it cost about $800 or $900 about 3 years ago. Liked it enough that when we bought our current house we brought it with us and swapped the brand new one to our old house before we sold it. We don't use any of the features though. Just fill it with dishes and select the auto cycle.

I am getting a 300 series (SHEM63W55N) installed tomorrow. I think it's the same thing more or less internally with different front handle/buttons. I can't wait to see how quiet it is. You should hear the 'ole GE 500 we have now that is probably 20+ years old - it still works but makes a horrible racket.

We've had a Bosh for about 2 years and we are quite pleased with it. Not sure of the model though. Quiet and washes good. Of course my comparison is the 18 year old GE which sounded like a garbage truck smashing recent pick ups and cleaned about as well as hosing the dishes off in the grass. Just me and my wife, so it only runs 2-3 times a week.

Count me in as a Bosch fan like the others above. I’ve had 2, the first one stayed at the first house.

Right here.

Pros:
*Super efficient. In fact, both my wife and I have wondered if the clothes were washed. They were near dry after the spin cycle.
*Super quiet

Cons:
*Small load size. Don't stuff it too full or you'll shorten the life by years.
*Damned expensive
* Short life - weak little pussy machines, which is true for all front loaders, but especially the small ones like this. Overloading make the short life even shorter. Don't go more than 3/4 full on your loads, 1/2 is better, and you can't wash a single heavy blanket without putting stress on the bearings. We have a second location where we have a regular, made in usa made larger toploader that will wash huge loads , literally 3 times as much, but its damned loud.

We were forced into buying this as there were only a few small enough for our "efficiency" location that some overpaid designers designed for us. I would never design one in again if it was me. Never. The 500 replaced the last Bosch that was some other number. I'm convinced they change the model number once they start breaking so that when you look up the new model they are working and everyone is happy. However, look up the previous and now discontinued Axxisxxsomething ? part number Bosches, and they worked better than a lot of the other small front loaders, but they break easy and they break quick. The new ones have even more electronics so don't expect more live. Our kids have been out for sometime, just my wife and I. If you have kids: pass. Get a large domestic toploader that will outlive you.

I did not have good luck with my Bosche dishwasher. Lasted only a few years. I fucked up the repair (Very stupidly) and had to pitch the whole machine.

We have a Bosch as well. No idea of the model #but it was around $800 or so a few years ago. Great, quiet dishwasher that really cleans dishes. It replaced a POS GE Café that cost more and didn't clean dishes.
