Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I really wanted a Miele this time

I agree. Nice loads!! I would have bought the Miele or possibly Asko but I was afraid of service here in Arkeensaw. I went with the Boschmore because of my own experience with Bosch and I figured I could get serivce through Sears if I needed it.

I love the look of your machine and really like the flexibility. How do you like it?

My best friend has an Asko and he really loves it.
 
miele dishwasher

I do love my Miele. As far as service goes...Miele handles it with factory service. when my Miele washer arrived DOA...Miele sent a guy up from Massachusetts and he had the Miele van and the part I needed to get the washer up and running. Granted the washer shouldnt have needed a new motor right off the bat but he had a replacement motor ready and so far I have not had any trouble with the washer. Miele service is awesome...they were on time and the guy was very professional. He walked me thru what he was doing and I was impressed by the fact he knew what he was doing. Ever call for service and the guy has no clue??He told me that if I ever need service with any Miele product to call Miele and they will set it up and service it. they prefer that customers do that and not let anyone else work on it...they are not trained as a Miele tech would be.
Back to the dishwasher...I love its flexibility and even though the racks seem to be a tad shorter than an American dishwasher..I can put alot in it and it will all wash clean. The dishwasher is almost silent when its running. The only way to hear it run is if i put my ear to the door latch. I can hear the top arm spraying. This machine uses alternating arms meaning the top and bottom run for 30 seconds then the Middle arm for 30 seconds at a time. When it switches there is a click in the control and then it will change the action ...hard to describe until you hear it. I love it.
 
I'm wondering, do BobLoads only apply for dishwashers? or can they also apply to washers & dryers?
 
SIze Matters!

I have read here that the Bosch machines of current style are smaller than most others. I even went to Lowes to check and their racks seem smaller. I wonder why the person mentioned is replcaing her KitchenAid.. she wont find anything around to compare with it, and hopefully is not trying to be energy wise and pound foolish. She can load it up and everything would be cleaned and sanitized in well less than two hours! Maybe we can convince her to fix or keep it!
 
I'm kind of a DW fanatic, basically I like what I like. We've had the range of DWs over the years, my favorites are never mentioned here, GE. I returned 3 DWs last year till I got one I liked, a MOL GE.

Anyway, to get to my point, I find the Boschs to be OK, but a lot on the small side. I'm flipping a house and put a Bosch in, and it has 1/4 less space inside than my latest GE TT DW, plus they are a tad narrower too. It's an OK machine but I would never buy one for myself. It's quite an upscale house I'm doing and Bosch has a lot of cache, plus it was a scratch and dent deal at Lowes for $249. Couldn't pass it up.
 
I am also a bit of a dishwasher fanatic

and I am surprised to hear some of you think the Bosch holds that much less than other dishwashers. I have been a Kitchen Aid guy for many years but once they sold I think all of the good things about KA dishwashers went with the sale.

I am in my third house with a Bosch and really love them. I really don't think the smaller size affects how much I can get in one of those loads. I have tons of pictures to share if anyone is interested.

I really am sold on Bosch. The quality of the dishwasher was the reason I picked Bosch when it was time for a new Washer and Dryer. That was 5 years ago and I couldn't be happier with them.
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all Americans! I'm sure there will be A LOT of dishes and cookwear to wash after dinner and that could make for a lot of BobLoads. Please be sure to post them.
 
My four year old Bosch is about 1 inch less deep than the Elux Frigidaire POS it replaced. I understand this is because standard European kitchen counters are a bit less deep than standard American counters. The bottom rack is more square than rectangular, as a result. But it doesn't seem to limit the capacity in any significant way. Plus, it cleans so much better than the Frigidaire. And, since the top rack can be removed completely and replaced with a spray head, the Bosch can fit very tall items that simply wouldn't fit in the Frigidaire. Also, I think the incorporation of the water heater into the sump area leads to a bit more vertical room in the Bosch, and its hidden location means that plastic items can be placed on the bottom rack without fear of getting melted by an exposed heating element.

I would buy another Bosch DW.
