Bosch dishwasher high performance pumps

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

Help Support :

My dad bought a newer Bosch model that was placed at his moms condo where my sister now lives, and it does this and it’s the most bizarre sounding dishwasher I’ve ever heard. It honestly sounded like an airplane taking off, but very quiet, too quiet for my liking. The quality of the machine seems to of gone downhill compared to previous Bosch models family of mine has had, and I would honestly really hate to be stuck with a dishwasher like that. In my opinion it has nothing on Whirlpools build quality. I used to like Bosch up until they started making them like they do now. Like why is there a plastic floor in the tub now? Seriously? It was always stainless steel like the rest of the tub as it’s been in their machines for decades and decades.

I also would have questions if at low speed that the jet streams are even traveling high enough to reach in all the nooks and cranny’s & up into glasses & whatever. It’s 2024 and we still don’t have any dishwashers with a transparent door 🙄 yet we can have crap like Wi-Fi in dishwashers and washers and dryers, AI and the highest technology ever seen in the world.

When I was between 4-8 years old my mom was running our 80s hotpoint by GE dishwasher, and for the first time she had it set to the light wash. I could of swore that the motor was running slower than on any other setting, and I figured it was because it was on light wash. But as I got older and started using it myself I realized I must of been hallucinating or something cause it does not do that, lol. Or maybe the dishwasher wasn’t running right that particular cycle who knows, it was only used twice or three times a year for holidays only or big dinnas.
 
I have no complaints about my bosch dishwasher. It far outcleans any of the KitchenAid produced Kenmore Elites I had (2) and even the GSD1200 Potscrubber. It's the only dishwasher I've ever used in my 60+ years of actually using dishwahers whereby soil and film has been removed off my crock pot slow cooker liner and scrabled eggs in a stainless steel skillet. I don't get all bent out of shape about it useig different speeds. In fact I see some logic/rationale with initial prewash not using full force spray. It's like manually prerinsing dishes (which I DO NOT DO) before putting them in the dishwasher. The big pieces are knocked off and flushed down the drain through the filter. Makes sense to me. Then the rinse deals with soils that weren't easily remooved. Then the main wash deals with the worst of the soil for the next 50-70 minutes. And the final rinse of the cycle before dry is mostly gentler spray. Why not. Every thing is clean. Just largely heating up the load in preparation for drying or you've selected the sanitize rinse. No intense spraying to degrade dishware. In fact, the Bosch has removed cloudiness the Potscrubber and the Kitchenpools created.

My Bosch is variable speed, not just 2 speeds.

Now I see the logic in this. So the soft spray is for getting the big stuff and for the final rinse, and the main wash and second rinse after the first is at full force. Maybe the jets still travel but it's like the pressure is at a flow instead of a blast thereby soaking the dishes.
 
older dishwashers

I've had older dishwashers that kept the pressure at full force and they've always gotten the insides of glasses clean as long as the jets are designed right. Yes, my dishwasher cleans great. I just prefer the jets traveling throughout the machine at all times. I want the water to get through all the nooks and crannies.

I've put the shrimp Alfredo casserole dish straight into the machine and the pump was able to blast it completely clean. No rinsing, no scrubbing, nothing. Everything comes out completely clean, even on smart wash HE.

On top of that, I've put dirty pancake battered bowls into the machine, in addition to my dirty plates and I've never had to rewash anything. I think mine is comparable to appnut's dishwasher due to the fact mine is a Bosch built Kenmore. I think it cleans better than any other dishwasher I've used before, ever. Finish does work better than Cascade folks.

Why not get a cheap waterproof camera to get the view inside your dishwasher from your shrimp Alfredo casserole dish's perspective. If you get one with wifi you'll be able to stream it :-) Just make sure it can stand the heat.

Of course it's been done before



The plastic base will be to simplify assembly, cut the component count and save costs. If you have a moulded plastic, then you could also mould components like half the shell of the drain pump straight into the base so the half with the motor and impeller attached just snaps straight in, cutting cost further.

I was looking into buying a new dishwasher around the time Bosch started doing one with plastic bases, it put me off buying a new one. They'd previously had issues with the elements in their wash pumps failing, and there were leaking issues with some of the early models. I believe both issues are long since resolved.

rambling

Well, what more can I say every single time this Kenmore dishwasher amazes me with its high performance pumps? I wish I had pictures to back up my ramblings just to demonstrate. The pumps handle just about anything I put in there. They are truly high-tech and high performing. This dishwasher is so quiet you'd barely notice its pumps running.
Mine does have the plastic floor, but it holds up well with no vibration. I think my pumps are on hammocks for quiet operation.
