Features:

  • PrecisionWash®: uses Intelligent sensors to monitor the wash water and automatically adjust the cycle for a smarter clean. Close A smarter clean with PrecisionWash® > With Bosch PrecisionWash®, simply start your dishwasher and walk away. Intelligent sensors continually scan and check the progress of dishes throughout the cycle, and powerful, precision spray arms go to work targeting every item of every load. So when your dishes are done, so are you.
  • PureDry®: Our energy efficient drying system allows you to safely place plastics anywhere, even on the bottom rack, without fear of melting. Close Not just dry, but PureDry® > PureDry® is an energy efficient, closed drying system that does not pull in outside air and gently whisks moisture away from dishes as they cool. And with no exposed heating element, you can safely place plastics anywhere.
  • Remarkably Quiet Operation at 46 dBA: creating a dishwasher so quiet, you can't always tell it is running -- this is what makes Bosch the quietest dishwasher brand in the U.S.* Close 46 dBA - the quietest dishwasher brand in the U.S.* > A range of technologies makes Bosch the quietest dishwasher brand in the U.S.* with impressively low decibel levels. For you, that means never having to wait until going to bed to run the dishwasher. *Based on an average of sound ratings of 24"" Full Size Stainless Steel Tub dishwashers contained in major brands websites. Major brands defined as TraQline Top 5 Market Share December 2021.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy, and expensive and you probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you. Please consult a sales associate about delivery options.

Our new compact dishwasher is just right for 2 people and a small kitchen. It's extremely quiet and does an excellent job of getting our dishes clean. My only suggestion would be to add an indicator light to show that the cycle is done so my husband doesn't have to ask if the dishes are clean or dirty😉

this cute 18inch dishwasher is my new greatest friend in the kitchen. I live alone and like to cook and entertain small parties. This dishwasher is my quiet helper to clean up as I produce dirty dishes. Quiet! Versatile with movable racks, easy to clean and wipe out. I love my Bosch!

Submitted by Jim of DC - 11/20/2022

This is my second Bosch 300 series dishwasher to fit into our small kitchen. The last one lasted ten years with few issues, until we had a pump problem and decided to just get a new machine. Easy to load, cleans well, VERY quiet. Believe what Consumer Reports says.

Great Dishwasher

Submitted by Nutmeg - 10/15/2022

We have pruchased two other dishwashers. Both only lasted for three years and didn't clean very well. We chose to go with one of the best names in appliances regardless of the small increase in cost. The dishwasher cleans everything included dried egg yolk and ketchup. In fact we wanted to test the "no pre-wash" claim. It is amazing how well this dishwasher cleans everything without a problem. We only wipe off any small pieces of food that are left on the plates as recommended by the manufactuer. I was also skeptical about the non-heated drying. All the dishes included the plastic containers are dried about an hour after the dishwashing cycle ended. Again, I was surprised and I am not sure exactly how they do it without a heating element. Last but not least, this dishwasher is so quite, I find myself taking a moment after the cycle starts to listen and make sure it is running. It is nothing like the previous dishwashers. I didn't think I was going to use the WiFi feature but it does make turning the dishwasher on easier. I appreciate the notifcations the app provides like the drying agent being low, machine cleaning cycle due, and when the regular cleaning cycle is done. Honestly the additional $300 is absolutely worth the money. The fit and finish as well as the build quality is worth the money. We have the 18" model and have no trouble fitting a family of four daily dishes and utensils. We do use the recomended jet-dry products in our dishwasher. I look forward to using it everyday.

Well Built Product

Submitted by Dwain - 10/10/2022

The machine cleans dishes effectively, runs quietly, and is a solid overall product. I wish there was a indicator light telling me when the cycle was finished washing. I have to remember the next day whether I started it or not. I sent a message to the manufacturer to find out whether such an indicator exists and I merely didn't know how to use it, but I never received a reply.

18" nice but weird capacity configuration

Submitted by Kpriese - 9/24/2022

I am still figuring out this dishwasher. I love the idea of it and it's very quiet - like you can barely hear it's running. The capacity is great for a couple of people, or if you run it after just a days' worth of dishes. The issue I have is the configuration of the internal rungs and baskets. My dinner plates are 11" wide snd my glasses are 6" high. Both fairly standard measurements. But I can't get it configured to use the third top flatware tray because there's not enough height between the top basket and the dinner plates in the bottom main basket for the middle sprayer to rotate. I spent 40 frustrating minutes reading the manual and trying different configs and couldn't figure it out. So I pulled the top tray and stored it away. I don't have time/patience to neatly place each utensil in the provide slots anyway. I've yet to dig deep into the different cycles as I pre-rinse items. I did nite that plastic storage containers with oily items don't come clean on the normal cycle. Since I usual wash my good cookware and frequently used items by hand I just give the oily plastic a swipe with my soapy dishrag before I load them. And yes - the extra cabinet space I gained for the drawers to the right is totally worth it. Note that there is always water inside after I run it on a normal cycle. I know I could run it longer by for the sake of conserving power I'm fine opening it and letting items air dry the rest of the way.

Submitted by KBright - 8/15/2022

Great design all around, but the fact that it's so quiet - almost silent - is the biggest benefit to this dishwasher. We live in a small space so any noise can seem simply too much. Not something to worry about with this, though!

Bosch 18in Dishwasher

Submitted by Sarge - 7/28/2022

This dishwasher was easy to install and it cleans very well versus the GE it replaced. Controls are easy to use and the appearance is very stylish. My only con is the bottom rack has very slanted tines so it doesn't load as easy as my old dishwasher. However, we are learning to manage this. Well made, stylish, easy to run. I'm glad I made the purchase!

Submitted by Deee - 6/26/2022

Since it's quiet it's really good for small spaces. I would like to see the length of the cycle be shorter. 2 hours and 36 minutes seems lengthy. But overall I'm very happy with my purchase

Submitted by nordic norm - 5/13/2022

We are very pleased with our dishwasher. It's 18" width works well in our space challenged kitchen and is big enough for us to fit a day's worth of dishes and pans. We really like the top 3rd rack for silverware and spatulas. Although we do not use a spot rinse preventer and we have hard water, the glasses still come out sparking.

Out of this world amazing!!

Submitted by Bronte - 4/5/2022

To be fair, I will say that my husband and I did not have ANY dishwasher for the first 3.5 years of our marriage, 1.5 of those years being during COVID. So just HAVING a dishwasher is amazing to us, saving us so much dishwashing time! I don't have many dishwashers to compare it to, but it's way better than those dishwashers that I grew up with in the early 2000's. We've actually been testing our dishwasher, putting in dishes dirtier and dirtier each time to see how it does. And it reigns supreme! This morning I put my big stainless steel pan in, leaving the brow and black residue at the bottom from stuck on food. It took it almost all off!!!! Loving it! The small size is great also! Only downside is that if you leave the pull-out silverware tray in (which I think is super convenient), then you have to put your tall glasses on the bottom rack instead of the top. This hasn't been an issue for us though. They get cleaned great on the bottom too, just fit a little funny. If you use the basket for silverware and take out the silverware pull-out tray, then you'll have no problem with tall glasses up top.

I LOVE my Bosch dishwasher!

Submitted by Joan - 2/2/2022

For many years I suffered with other brands of dishwashers that were horribly noisy, and required that I pre-wash by hand to get dishes clean. NOT ANY MORE, thanks to my Bosch 300. Having a small kitchen that requires a smaller dishwasher I was afraid that I would again have to suffer with noise and cleaning issues, until I read up on the attributes of Bosch. They were absolutely true and saved me suffering through issues with another washer. Thank you.

Submitted by Decosetter - 1/30/2022

It's so quiet and honestly pretty cute because it's only 18 inches. I haven't quite figured out the optimal loading but my complaint is it smells SO terrible after I wash a load is done. Even thE dishes themselves have a residual order. I read a lot of complaints online about this I don't understand why it hasn't been fixed. You shouldn't be selling it if it's offgassing like this. Very disappointing!

Barely adequate!

Submitted by Here’s Johnie - 1/9/2022

Portions of load come out wet even on extra dry setting. Racks are poorly designed and too tight forcing double spacing for plates and useless for bowls. Took hours to connect to the app including over one hour on the phone with support PS, don't ever buy with installation from Home Depot. Their current delivery/installation company has catch-alls built into their contract allowing the to refuse any installation that they think they're being underpaid for, so unless you're prepared, you'd better have several extra hundred on hand to pay for a private plumber. Worst purchase experience in my life, from a company anyway.
