Bosch SHU43 Dishwasher - Why Not Go For The Best?

by mountainhigh mountainhigh is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Home and Garden, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jan 26 '01
Pros: Extremely quiet, outstanding cleaning, large interior, adjustable upper rack
Cons: None
After researching all the dishwashers on the market, I decided to buy the Bosch SHU43. I must say it is an excellent choice. I have had various dishwashers for the past 30 years and I have always had to make sure all evidence of food was off the ...

Why didn't I get one of these sooner????????

by krazykris , Apr 30 '03
Pros: A very quiet, efficient, good looking dishwasher, that cleans exceptionally well.
Cons: A bit more expensive but not really when you consider what you get!
I have had three dishwashers in my 20 years of marriage, a GE, Whirlpool (top of range) and Maytag (top of range). I came across this site and read the reviews on both Miele and Bosch and I was sold, as my Maytag only 6 years old was more or less...

Quiet, and does a good job.

by wingnutdave , Jan 13 '05
Pros: QUIET, no debating this, its very quiet. Basic functions, and does a good job
Cons: Plastics may not be dry when done.
We needed a dishwasher after our "builders grade" original dishwasher started to leak. We wanted to go up in quality, and try not to spend a thousand dollars (which is easy to do) on a quality dishwasher. Our wish list included a quiet dishwasher (the ...

OK, But you lose 2 square feet of space

Cons: smaller depth, dries slow, installs hard, upper adjustment limited, rinse agent required, no soap-dish pre-wash
One month ago I got my first European unit ever. They are alway touted as having better designs and saving energy, we shall see if that truth is real or grossly overrated. I took back the Kenmore I had purchased, mainly because the smart wash ...

Great Dishwasher

by mrgnomer , Jul 23 '05
Pros: NSF sanitizing, quietness, countdown timer, adjustable top rack, no lower coil, cleans incredibly well
Cons: Short drain hose, rinse agent required, water supply over 120F could nullify NSF sanitation
After our portable, really noisy, shorting out GE dishwasher finally stopped working right altogether, it was time for a new dishwasher. I did some research and didn't consider a Bosch first off. My first choices were something in a Kenmore elite ...

So quiet you could put it in your bedroom!

Pros: Spotless glasses, no more 'crusty' cutlery after a wash!
Cons: None come to mind.....
Being a bit of a kitchen nut, I tend to get a bit fanatical and overexcited about kitchen appliances, so 9 months ago when my husband and I decided to renovate our kitchen and update our appliances, I went straight for the Bosch dishwasher. I had just...

Bosch SHU43 Dishwasher Bad Choice For Us

by skeeter500 , Oct 31 '03
Pros: Quiet, like small cleaning basket for debris
Cons: Quiet but not consistent cycles, bad for large items
Not consistent cleaning and bad design. We have been using dishwashers for over 20 years now, had Maytag and KitchenAid and decided to replace our current Maytag with a Bosch SHU43 because Bosch is the new buzz word with sales people and some friends beca ...

Critics of Bosch - read the manual!!!

by vancwa , Jun 24 '04
Pros: Quietness, build quality, high water temps, stainless interior, timer status, low energy use
Cons: Rack capacity, expensive, repair record reported in Consumer Reports is not great.
I've had it 6 months and couldn't be more pleased with it. This washer replaced a KitchenAid Superba machine that was in absolute perfect working condition. Why replace it? Mostly the noise levels are way too high as the kitchen is adjacent to a den. ...
