Bosch Dishwasher - Evolution 500 Stainless Steel Review Summary

It sounds trite, but more than one reviewer is saying that the Bosch Dishwasher – Evolution 500 Stainless Steel is "so quiet, that I forget if I actually turned it on." Everyone knows Bosch to have a reputation for quality and reliability, and reviewers feel that's exactly what they're getting with the Evolution 500 Stainless Steel. Nothing will rust on these Bosch Dishwashers, as they are made of stainless steel on the inside, an the racks are hard nylon. Dishes don't require any pre-rinsing, yet come out shiny and clean. The adjustable rack dividers and removable cutlery train make it easy to load an assortment of different-sized items. Even when forced to use cold water running to the dishwasher, the dishes sill come out sparkling. The Bosch Evolution 500 "makes life easier." In the end, that's all you can ask for.

I bought my Bosch dishwasher at Sears about a year ago. I suspect it is a slightly different model than what is shown here as they change models regularly.

 But what I wanted was the Bosch reputation for quality and reliability and that's what I got. This dishwasher is so quiet, I have to put my hand...

WE bought a bosch dishwasher because of the name and it was stainless steel and that was what we where looking for.  WE had a warranty on it because usually appliance like that we usually do.  We had it for 2 months and it did not clean the dishes.  We thought it might have been the dish detrogent...

A couple of years ago our contractor supplied GE Dishwasher was going through its death throes.  We had been nursing it along for awhile, but it was now on life support.  We certainly had little to complain about.  This machine of modest cost had just passed its 20th anniversary.  Not bad for a "contractor special".

But What to Buy?

During the course of any month, I read and rate hundreds of reviews on Kitchen Aplliances for another site.  Aside from a modest stipend, what I gain though is a general impression of which manufacturers are producing the best appliances.  So, when it came time...

This dishwasher has made life easier for my family and I.  It does what it claims without any problems.  Dishes do not require any pre-rinsing and they come out shiny and clean.  I bake every other day and the pans always needed to pre-soak before, not anymore!  The washer is quiet and best of all, it has a half load feature and a sensor to make sure it will not leak.  The dishwasher also has a sanitizing option, so we no longer need to worry if the dishes are really clean.  Our old dishwasher use to have an odd odor (old food smell) sometimes when it was done with a cycle, this one just...

This dishwasher is my favorite large kitchen appliance. I use it 1-3 times per day so I am very accustomed to it's operation. It is very quiet compared to the past 4 dishwashers I've had. Dishwasher tabs seem to be the best option for detergent because loose powder detergents leave residue that doesn't wash away on the top rack. I have never had problems with food residue in the top or bottom rack.

The adjustable dividers in the top rack and removeble cutlery tray in the bottom make loading assorted shape and sized items very easy. The top rack is even removable when necessary.

I do feel that the...

The Bosch stainless dishwasher is so quiet you won't even know that it is running.  The dishes come out sparkling clean. The two negatives... it takes about an hour to run a load of dishes and I don't think that I can get quite as many dishes in as my old dishwasher.

I purchased a Bosch SHE45M dishwasher 6 weeks ago. It is without a doubt, the quietest running dishwasher I have ever seen or heard. The positive stops there unfortunately. This unit is way below average in its cleaning ability. Every other cycle or so, sometimes continuously, this dishwasher will leave food scraps on my dishes ( and I thoroughly rinse my dishes before I load them ) You can not put a baking sheet or other serviceware items in the machine with any food on them. Even in the "power wash" cycle, it only cleans 90% ( and leaves traces of food on the other dishes) Cycle time is one third...

This particular dishwasher is one of the best diswashers ever invented. We dont even realise when its swtiched on, makes very little noise. Does a very good jo of cleaning, even if there are a lot of greasy vessels and utensils. Would definitely recommend this to all my friends. Has not given me any problem for the past so may years now. Earlier had another model which started giving me problems after 2 years itself. But this one has lasted me over 4 years now,. Also safe with the kids around, since it has a good locking mechanism. I liekthe cool look of it too, as compared to the other older ones....

I would never buy any other brand than a Bosch dish washer.  My hot water heater went out and I had to run my dishwasher with cold water and my dishes still sparkled. There are never any dried egg or cheese  or hard to clean food left on my dishes. It has a double sprayer and several wash cycles to choose from.  My wife likes the fact that you don't have to clean the dishes off before you put them inside the dishwasher.  

I also really love the looks of this dishwasher.  The Bosch design makes it easy to match with the rest of your house.  It is very easy to install, and the warranty can't...

We were lucky enough to get our Bosch dishwasher on sale and for an additional $60 less because the model we had originally gone in to buy was discontinued.  We love this dishwasher because it is quiet and cleans our dishes without leaving water spots and truly is an energy saver.  The stainless steel front is not too shiny and matches our other brand appliances perfectly.  The multiple options for wash cycles, timer and drying are all added features that meet every need you could have in a dishwahser.

Would definitely buy the Bosch stainless dishwasher again.  It's quiet and cleans great. The only down side is a beep that notifies you when the cycle is over.  I understand it can be disconnected, so if it ever needs service I'll have this done.
