Bosch Evolution 500 SHE45M05UC Stainless Steel 24 in. Built-in Dishwasher

Pros: Stainless steel tub, quiet operation, adjustable tines, spacious, attractive
Cons: No child-proof locking, fingerprint magnet

About a year and a half ago our contractor supplied GE Dishwasher started to give notice that its useful life was approaching its end. The soap dispenser would no longer stay closed, tines started breaking and finally the rotary cycle selector came off ...

Pros: Quiet, Reliable, Effective
Cons: None

Honda, Toyota, Hyundai all represent brands that have come to our shores offering an alternative to some of the better known brands that we have had working experience with. While there had been some trepidation on our part to jump ship and try a new ...

Pros: Quiet, seems to clean OK
Cons: NO REAL DRYING CYCLE!!!

I needed a Bosch because it is less deep (22 1/2") than other dishwashers and I was installing it in an old house with shallow counters.  Also, I had good experience with another Bosch.  As it was going in a house we are preparing for rental, I ...

Pros: It's really quiet. Cleans dishes, glasses very well.  Adjustable top rack for larger loads.  
Cons: Bottom rack configuration for the silverware could be better.

I read all kinds of reviews on Bosch dishwashers as they were considered one of the quietest on the market.  I ordered one on-line through Home Everything and waited about a week and half before I found out it was damaged in shipping and they wanted ...

Pros: Super quiet, clean dishes with no spots, flexible loading.
Cons: Slightly longer cycle times, so far that is it.

We've had the SHE45 for 2 months now with really no complaints. We did fairly extensive research with on line input such as this site, other sites and talked to 3 dealers in our city and finally landed on this model - a nice compromise between the more ...

Pros: Cleans well,extremely quiet

Almost 2010 and still working good!
Cons: Runs best with JET DRY, longer cleaning cycles...

We purchased the SHE45 when we did out kitchen. We did all out research ahead of time, including online reviews, consumer reports, store clerks and friends and families. Bosch is a high end product and is not sold at all stores. We had a concern ...

Pros: Great Dishwasher every thing is clean and spot free. even clear glass dishes.
Cons: Non really. have to turn it off when  unload or the lights stay on.

This dishwasher is the best ever. I Bought this because I have had the Bosch washer and Dryer for about 2 years. Knowing how great they are I was set on a Bosch Dishwasher when the old one died. There are never any dirty dishes when its done. We have ...

Pros: Best thing out of German engineering since the Beetle
Cons: Nothing yet, but will be sure to post any negatives we might run into.

After building our new house and being supplied with a builders grade GE dishwasher, we decided to replace that sucker right away--it didn't clean and was so L O U D that we couldn't hear the TV in our adjoining living room. After reading the reviews, ...

Pros: Attractive, quiet and cleans well
Cons: Worst service for any appliance that I have ever experienced

Bosch dishwashers are great as long as they are working. They are very quiet, and they clean the dishes well. Unfortunately, dishwashers break, and when Bosch dishwashers break they are extremely hard to get fixed. Mine has been broken for six ...

Pros: Quiet and does the job great
Cons: Top rack configuration

I researched dishwashers after our less than 5 year old GE Profile machine began to fail.  Knowing we did not want another GE, we went to the local home improvement store and checked out all the different brands.  I had never heard of a Bosch dishwasher, but when I checked out reviews on line, including this site, I could not find a negative review.  So, we took the plunge and purchased this particular model.  Without a doubt, best appliance decision we've ever made.  It is incredibly quiet, and more importantly, it cleans the dishes and glasses amazingly.  The only improvement that could be made would be to possibly redesign the upper rack configuration.  Although it is very deep, which is nice, it's difficult to figure out how to load efficiently.  But, the positives of this machine far outweigh that issue.  The cycle options this model has are adequate for our use, and I especially like the count-down timer that let's you know how long the cycle will take, and how much time is left.  You won't be sorry if you purchase a Bosch!

Pros: Very Quiet.
You can not hear it when it is operating, even in the same room.
Cons: Does not clean dishes.
Has an odor
Too smal load capacity
over priced for it's lack of performance.

I have had my Bosch SHE45M dishwaher 6 weeks. It's only positive is that is is extremely quiet. It does not wash dishes as good as my 8 year old Maytag that it replaced. Often times my dishes will have food scraps on them after a full cycle ( and I thoroughly rinse all my dishes before loading them in the machine) and the food trap is clean. There is a dank metal-like smelling odor that the machine gives off after a cycle ( I have tried other detergents too ) and the odor stays in the machine between wahing cycles too. I run the machine 3-4 times per week. This Bosh has a much smaller load capacity than most dishwashers and you can not put a large dish/platter on the right side of the machine because it will "block" water flow. Another handicap. I paid close to $800.00 for this unit and its installation and it is not worth this kind of money. Bosch makes great tools, just not good appliances.

Pros: None!
Cons: No DRYING
ODOR

Spent $700 for a dishwashwer that does not DRY my dishes.

Always wet dishes need to be dried off by hand.

Did everything they recommended in the manual and on the phone to help.

Consumer reports must have been paid off. This CANNOT be the best there is as it DOES NOT DRY the dishes.

Odor as well.

Costumer service SUCKS! Bosch will not help us at all.
