Best dishwasher ever
Diego

I have owned about five dishwashers in my lifetime and this one is the easiest to use and the one that has left my dishes, the cleanest consistently after every wash. Honestly, the best thing I like about it is how quietly it runs as well. I've never spent this much on a dishwasher and it was worth every penny.

Trying to narrow down the field of dishwashers to consider by reading online reviews was nothing short of frustrating. I've never had a great experience at the big box stores with knowledgeable associates so chose to visit Barron's appliances and see what they had to say. We were impressed with Austin's product knowledge and he helped us select the 500.
It's a quiet, efficiently layed out interior and Bosch has a good reputation for reliability. That is just what we hoped for.

Product cleans well. However drying is incomplete and leaves dishes still damp. Also plastics are even more moist than other dishes. Also loading trays are awkward to load

Best Dishwasher ever

We purchased our new **Bosch 500 Series Dishwasher** from Best Buy in March of this year, and it has honestly exceeded every expectation we had. After using it for several months, I can confidently say it has been one of the best appliance purchases we've made for our home.
The first thing we noticed was how incredibly **quiet** it is. The first few times we ran it, we actually had to check that it was on because it operates so silently. Even with an open floor plan, you can barely hear it running.
The cleaning performance is outstanding. Everything comes out spotless, from heavily soiled pots and pans to delicate glassware. We no longer have to pre-rinse dishes before loading them, which saves both time and water. The drying performance has been just as impressive-our dishes, cups, bowls, and even most plastics come out dry and ready to put away.
We also love how much it holds. The rack design makes excellent use of space, allowing us to fit significantly more dishes than our previous dishwasher. The adjustable racks make it easy to accommodate larger pots, pans, and serving dishes when needed.
Setup was simple, the controls are intuitive, and the different wash cycles are easy to understand. The stainless steel interior gives it a premium feel, and everything about the dishwasher reflects Bosch's attention to quality and engineering.
Beyond the performance, we've appreciated how efficient it is. It uses less water and energy while delivering consistently excellent results, making it both environmentally friendly and economical to operate.
If you're looking for a dishwasher that is quiet, reliable, easy to use, and delivers exceptional cleaning and drying performance every single time, I highly recommend the Bosch 500 Series. It has made our daily routine easier, and my wife absolutely loves it. We would definitely purchase another Bosch in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to family and friends. It's a five-star appliance that truly lives up to its reputation.

I have owned a Bosch product before so I was excited to get my new dishwasher. However my NEW dishwasher came with a torn seal around the soap dispenser which caused leaking all over my wood floor. I expected to receive a new one but NO, only would Trey repair it. So much for NEW!! Very disappointing. Not sure I will buy another Bosch product.

I can't recommend this dishwasher enough! After our last dishwasher had a slow and drawn out decline, I was excited to finally have one that properly cleaned our dishes. Previously I've had to rinse every dish and even then they might not be clean, with the Bosch - we just scrape and put them right in. The dishes come out sparkley clean every time. It's so quiet we don't even notice it's running. 10/10 would recommend!

I have mixed feelings about this dishwasher. I love the quietness, some of the features and how well it cleans. The downside is connecting it to WiFi is way more complicated than it needs to be. Also I can fit less dishes than I could in my previous dishwasher, which is a bit disappointing. Overall I like it, but for the premium price I would like there to be more space or a better dish configuration.

I recently moved homes, leaving my still-going-strong Bosch dishwasher behind. I hated the one in the house I bought - it didn't accomodate my heavier pottery-type dishware and didn't clean nearly as well. I saw this on sale and decided to make the switch. I am SO glad I did. Bottom rack dish spacing is perfect. I didn't like that the cutlery holder sort of bounced around wherever so I started using the upper rack for those and found that I prefer it. And it is a good thing that there is a light that shines on the floor when it's on, otherwise it's so quiet you wouldn't know. Just a great product. Now, if they'd just put their slide-in induction ranges on sale, I can replace the electric range...

The machine cleans well but not always perfectly. Sometimes the soap gets caught and doesn't completely dissolve in a cycle leaving the dishes less than clean. I did expect superior clean everytime I used the machine especially in comparison to the cheap machine it replaced, but that isn't consistently the case. Usually my dishes come out clean as long as there wasn't hardened food on them to begin with and I use a higher quality soap. The eco soaps also don't work as well which is a bit disappointing.

I'm sorry to say that I'm rather - surprisingly - disappointed in this new dishwasher. It's very quiet and that I'm very grateful for but it smells when it's open - even with a clean filter, my white bowls have marks that have to be scrubbed off, the lid doesn't pop open any more, I would rather have a larger silverware holder than the little shelf on top, my bowls don't fit in it easily. I thought Bosch would be better than this.

As promised, it's quiet and efficient. Our dishes have been clean--we do a quick rinse before putting them in also though. The door pops open and if we wait overnight it's all dry with the exception of containers where water pooled. It fits a good number of dishes and the top third rack is spacious enough for more than silverware.

We have been using dishwasher for a few days and love the job it does on the dishes and the quietness. Figuring out how to run it was confusing and not very straight forward, even after downloading the owners manual, which of course, did not come with the dishwasher. I will have to use it as a reference manual for the next few weeks I'm sure as all the starting, stopping and changing the cycle options are multi-step, sequential, button pushing series. Oh and no physical buttons either. I'm sure I will learn this, but currently am yearning for the days when appliances were straight forward and did not require a technology degree simply to start them running. Also I'm not planning on ever downloading the app and running the machine from my phone. As for getting the dishes clean, it does great and I especially like the flatware rack on the top. I'm looking forward to the reliability of my former Bosch dishwasher and hope this one lasts as long if not longer.

Love hate relationship
NoBoZo
7/6/2026
We purchased this Bosch 500 Series to replace a well loved Bosch 800 Series that had given us about 14 years of worry free service in a very hard water environment.
Our love/hate relationship started upon installation when I found I had to go to the hardware store to purchase an elbow to connect the water line. Why it wasn't includes boggles my mind. After it was installed I went to start it and nothing we tried on the control panel would get the bugger going. As a last ditch effort I loaded the Bosch app on my phone, turned on remote start and from that point on everything worked. Very odd.
The dishwasher does an excellent job cleaning our dishes.
However a few things really bother me. First the silverware basket was half the size of the one from my old 800 Series, so we kept the old basket from that. Silverware on the top drawer? Ridiculous.
The absolute worst thing about the 500 Series is the middle drawer. There's very few tines to seperate items, sorta free form city. We use a lot of long stemmed wine glasses and if we use the fold down stem holders it pretty much takes up two rows, the rightmost under the wine glasses is rendered almost useless (see photo).
We love how quiet it is, how well it cleans our dishware, but absolutely hate the middle drawer!

Have now had the SHP65DM5N dishwasher for several months. Does a great job washing the dishes, but the racks are a mixed bag. Really like the top rack ability to hold utensils, a clever design and a real space saver. However, the top rack is difficult to slide out and back in, and the rollers come off the tracks very easily unless you pull it out and push it in exactly centered. The middle rack ability to be adjusted up or down on either or both sides makes it much easier to handle larger items on the middle or bottom racks. The middle rack layout is OK, but just takes some getting used to, as is always the case with a new dishwasher. And the center rack can also be difficult to move, and needs to be pushed in centered and firmly for the wash arm plumbing to seat properly. The bottom rack layout, though, is a disaster, one of those "what were they thinking" moments. While not having a heating element means you can put plastic items anywhere, including the bottom rack, the great distance between some of the ribs in certain areas and the haphazard layout and lack of splines to hold items in some areas makes placing anything but larger pots and pans extremely difficult. The "fold-down" extra splines are very closely spaced (millimeters) with existing ones (and they are only in one area), making them virtually usless. The zone wash in the left rear portion of the bottom of the dishwasher makes it convenient to get larger pots or pans clean, but only if you can fit them over the ackward spline arrangement (this is where large gaps between ribs would be OK, but they are not in that area). The pop-open door at the end of the cycles that is unique on this model almost makes up for the absence of heated drying that is a fact of life in so many modern dishwashers. No matter what you do, though, the dishes will NOT be dry, even with the door open (and we live in an area where the humidity can be single digits in the winter). We do NOT use a rinse agent, as putting more chemicals all over clean dishes is not some thing we want to do just to make the dishes "look better" and dry with a chemical coating. If you do the dishes overnight, at least with the door open they will be dryer than other models. Liquid detergent works fine, but powdered detergent can be complicated and you must not put any more than indicated in the cup or you will end up with soap crystals all over your dishes and the inside of the dish washer. The fact that you really cannot control much of the dishwasher without an app is just the future of all appliances, and we all better get used to it (it will get worse). We are a Mac/Apple-based family, and initially setting up the dishwasher was hit or miss, but eventually after a few tries the app and dishwasher came to an understanding. Now when using the app, initially it will connect and disconnect a few times, but then will work normally. The key during setup is to figure out what combination of modes make up your most-used setting, and then save it as your favorite. Once programmed as such, you can use the Favorite button on the door without the app if your WiFi goes down. It really is a great dishwasher so far, once you get used to the quirky racks and the "convenience" of being virtually forced to use the app.

The dishes get acceptably clean. I honestly don't much care for the layout of the racks. The bottom rack has slots running two different ways, which I personally find to be restricting. The silverware basket could be a little bigger. The third rack is a smidge too shallow. I would like to be able to put small Tupperware and such up there, but they don't fit. Lastly, the app is too "busy." I have the machine set for a basic wash and can't really figure out how to get it to do anything else. I do like that the machine pops open at the end of the cycle.

I've very happy with this dishwasher. It actually dries the dishes, and I've never had a problem with any of the dishes being dirty. I didn't think I'd like the top rack, but actually love it for big spoons, spatulas, tongs, knives. The only negative I can think of is the bottom rack tines could be a little more user friendly, but that's just nit picking. Overall, I'm very happy with this dishwasher.

Katy

I don't know why we're encouraged to review an appliance we've only had for one day, but here goes. The water hookup in the back means you can't test it for leaking until you fully installed it, which is not ideal. The loading is confusing unless you've had a Bosch before, the rack times all seem too close together to me, I'm just used to my old dishwasher. There is no interior light which is surprising and such an expensive appliance. That's on me, I didn't think to look for that feature until I realized it didn't have one. We've only run it once so far, and it was quiet, so that's a positive. I do not like that there are features. You can only run from an app, this appliance is right in front of me, why do I have to go get my phone? The real test is will it last 10 years without breaking, I would be happy to come back and give it 5 stars at that time.

Had a Bosch dishwasher which ended up with an error code no one could figure out after 12 years of use. They attempted multiple repairs which led us to purchase the 500 series. Very happy so far and would always recommend a Bosch dishwashers. Extremely reliable and well built. Ours lasted all those years with no one single issue or required repair. We chose the 500 since all the extra bells and whistles meant nothing and not worth the extra price. Also we did not connect to the Bosch App and use it as we did the prior Bosch we had. Quiet and cleans exceptionally well.

A Frustrating Dishwasher
RyGuy
6/27/2026
On the whole, this gets the job done and dishes are clean. Drying is average and much worse than my old dishwasher was on a one hour wash.
Beyond that, there are a few things that are very frustrating that I feel compelled to call out. And it's worth noting that this review is being written after having owned the dishwasher for about three months, plenty of time to adjust to the differences from my old dishwasher.
The first major point of frustration is the overall positioning of the tines in each of the racks and even the spacing of bars in certain positions in the bottom rack in particular. It seems like a small thing but the incredibly large gaps in the bottom rack mean that many of the most natural positions for bowls make them sit too low below the rack when tilted on their side to the point where it seems the spray arm might actually hit it. But even if it didn't, the position of bowls on their side is slightly tipped back which can result in water collecting in the bowl. So I am forced to use more space and put the bowl completly upside down. As for the tines, after three months of using this, I find myself constantly moving things around post-load because I don't have a clear sense of my "go to" spots for many of my most commonly used dishes. Obviously everyone's dishes are different but I've never had this experience with other dishwashers I've used for this long.
The second major frustration is the interface buttons. They are not responsive (there's a second delay after touching them and every time I have a brief moment of thinking, "Did I tap it right?", often hitting the button again only to realize I've undone my first touch). Not only that, but many of the labels are unclear. The reason for this seems largely because the dishwasher is "smart" - and is nudging you to use the phone app for many common functions. For example, "Want to run the dishwasher on a delay? Use the app!" The trouble is, this is so much more annoying (dare I say "dumber") than simply tapping a delay button on the panel. When my hands are wet from washing dishes, I don't want to have to look for my phone, open an app, select an appliance, and set a time. Does doing so give me the ability to be more precise with my delayed start time? Sure. Does that make it better than a quick button tap allowing me to set a 2/4/6 hour delay? Absolutely not. It's super annoying. This is just one example of what I don't like about the buttons (or lack thereof) and the app but it's representative of the overall experience.
The only thing I like about this dishwasher is that the middle rack (there is a thin top rack for silverware) has three height adjustments. This makes it flexible for putting taller items - e.g. a tall stemmed wine glass - in the top shelf if you want. I do like that.
I'm sad to say it but I would never purchase this dishwasher again and would want an in-person inspection first before purchasing any other Bosch diswasher.

I had a Bosh dishwasher that lasted 14 years. I was so sorry when one day, it just wouldn't turn on.
I knew I would get another Bosch dishwasher. I now have a 500 Series, which I had before and it's just as wonderful as it's predecessor. It's quiet, I don't hear a thing when it's running. The dishes are always sparkling clean, and I will always own a Bosch dishwasher.
I've had 3 other brands of dishwashers that could not hold a candle to Bosch. I hope they continue to make these excellant machines because I am not fond of hand washing dishes!
