I have a new Bosch dishwasher and it cleans very well but the racks must be designed by people who never do any dishes. There's no place to put cereal or pasta bowls and if you have even a few, you can't fit anything dinner plates or anything else much on the bottom rack. and on the top rack, glasses and cups don't fit into the designated rows--it's a mess. Get some designers who try washing a variety of everyday dishes for a family of 3-4. My old Kitchenaid didn't wash as well as this but its racks were logical and useful.

We purchased our Bosch 300 series in 2020. It cleans so much better than our previous non-Bosch dishwasher. But...I really struggle, even two years later, with loading the darned thing. Perhaps it is because our dishes are stoneware and don't fit in the tines as well? The tines seem to be angled awkwardly and some are spaced too far apart and others too close together. We took the silverware third drawer out which helps, and we switched out our silverware caddy from the previous dishwasher which we like better. It is quiet. I love that plasticware can be put on any level without melting. And excellent cleaning!

Agree with the loading problems.I have no idea why it was designed that way

[traceydickey]

Bought our Bosch in March of this year; one of the tines has rusted and broken off. Called Customer support and sent her a picture; she suggested it was my fault for loading the dishes "incorrectly", but did agree "this one time" to send out a new lower dish rack. To be clear, the customer service representative was very respectful and kind, so not complaining about her at all. It seems that what everyone is saying below is accurate... the tines on the right side are angled and very close together and not much fits there at all! It does clean well though.

There were very few instructions in the manual that came with the dishwasher. The first week of owning this 700 series I was ready to take it back. So I think this video has been helpful. It is very frustrating how it loads I don’t like that design at all.

We bought our 500 series a few months ago and it's done a pretty good job at cleaning. My peeve is the rack design, it's terrible. The middle rack left side is perfect for cups and mugs, but the second area over is so narrow nothing fits in there... it would be better to have two wide cup/mug racks. Also I find the lower rack area for plates is great but the angle of the holders near the door are a bit useless unless you have thin bowels. Anyway I'm sure there was a lot of research done for the design but I find the design in past dishwashers much much better.

I agree with everyone else, hopefully this gets redesigned and can be bought as an option. I’ve never used a dishwasher that has so much yet so little space
Why are the rows of tines on the bottom rack offset, so something long like a half sheet pan doesn’t fit? Insane!

[giedriusstankevicius]

I bought 500 series a month ago. The middle rack is really problematic. Especially right hand side. Whoever designed the new cup shelf needs to be forced to use that shelf everyday until they will recognize how bad the design is. You can put the stem glasses only in every other slot, limiting it to 4 glasses. Unless they are narrow flute glasses, then you can put 6. The tines are not lined up with the notches for stem glasses which makes it actually impossible to use the shelves. I did not have this issue with previous dishwasher. Is there anyway I can order cup shelves like ones in the video?

[signedelacroix]

Ya I am very unhappy with my Bosch on that loading part. It's very odd, everything is set as angle, so glass can cups won't hold right. My old Whirlpool was great for that, the spiles were long and would allow glass to hold right and not fall.
Do they have different sort of dish in Germany than US?

[AH-cymd]

The angled tines of the bottom rack suck! Straight tines are better/easier to load. I’ve had my new Bosch for a few months now, and it’s still a struggle to figure out how best to load the bottom rack. I wish I could just replace the bottom rack with one with straight tines, not angled.

I just purchased a Bosch 800 and saw this vid originally linked on the Bosch home page. The vid actually is quite useful, even though I must have loaded at least 20 various dishwasher brands over time (my own or airbnbs). I mostly used logical thinking. It’s amazing though I am still picking up some things after decades. The dark blue times are movable… seems obvious once you know it. Put deep bowls sideways isn’t really a logical way of doing things. I’ll try it though.
At the end of the cycle my dishwasher is still full of water drops on the racks and in the door… so not exactly perfectly dry dishes. Some water adheres to plastic dishes and some coffee cups, no matter what angle I put them in. The door doesn’t want to stay open, I have to jam a rubber spoon between the door and the dishwasher so residual steam can escape when the cycle is done. (I’m mostly using the auto cycle). Dishes are super clean, no argument there.
About it being quiet… I’m mystified. It’s rated 42 dB, my previous Whirlpool, which came with our new house, was rated 50. I can hear the Bosh across the room. The Whirlpool was quieter.
I traded in my perfectly well functioning Whirlpool because it wasn’t quiet enough, and because it wasn’t drying my dishes very well. So did I just spend $1300 for a pretty looking dishwasher that matches my kitchen better, but has the same foibles my old one did?

Just got my first dishwasher and Bosch had such good review I decided on Bosch. I got the 500 series because of the door opening and it hopefully drying better. Turns out it is turned off when you get it and the dished dried perfect but I turned it on anyway lol. ONE THING in the book it says to put big things on right side like the cookie pan you have on left because of a vent there. Not sure if that is important but I had to read manual because never had dishwasher. Your manual is not as good as your dishwasher good thing you don't make manual because this one stinks. (that is why I am watching these videos. )

I wish I had read the reviews before I replaced my old Bosch. I would not have purchased this new one as the rack design is absmyal. I can't imagine it was tested by everyday users.

[ellesnyder]

:44 "always load dishes at an inward angle". The center ones are all angled with dirty side up.

All #Bosch Dishwashers are Top Rated with many features not available in other Dishwashers within the same price range.

How do the bowls get clean when they are overlapped like that?

[brianklaas]

I find the lower rack is ok, but the middle one is terrible for our glassware. Our old Bosch (circa 2000) was much better. We did bring plates and bowls to the store, but didn’t think to bring glasses. This is a benchmark, probably going to return it. (Actually we just bought two).

[thomasskadow]

This video demonstrates why the 500 racks are horrid. It requires dishes lean up against each other. This chips and scratches dishes.

[tiffanykoehn]

My boshe is not cleaning well. It’s brand new. Dishes have almost a rust residue stain on my white Correl dishes. I have to magic eraser it off. There is a greasy residue on the back wall and the inner tub doesn’t look clean when cycle is done. We’ve pulled it out to make sure a line is t kinked. When I take the filter basket out to clean it between loads there is some times water still in that hole. Anyone have any ideas??

[cameronblume]

But where do you put bowls? This dishwasher seems like it was designed without any place to put soup/cereal bowls
