Professional delivery is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery for you.

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. 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.

If my dishwasher was a man, I'd marry it!

Bosch 18" Dishwasher a real winner

Scotty 8/6/2022

The Bosch 18" SS dishwasher is a real winner in my recent Kitchen remodel. The 18" model allowed me to gain a lot of storage space in my small kitchen . The fit and finish of the unit is excellent . Very impressed by how quiet it is !! I know that is what Bosch is known for , but have never experienced that for myself . Previous kitchens had other top brands , but Bosch is head and shoulders above. I call it my "baby Bosch " due to the size but I can get full place settings for 4 - 6 with no trouble. I first had to check to make sure it was running when I left the kitchen. Great job ! Thanks Bosch a quality tool in my new kitchen .

New dishwasher

Replacement dishwasher 12/13/2021

Frankly I'm somewhat disappointed. No kickplate, smaller interior than my Miele. Too small for my baking pans, less room in trays, poor placement of dividers in racks, cutlery basket takes up a lot of room without being convenient. Disappointing

My Bosch. Dishwasher

None 10/16/2021

I could get all flowery and say it's a 5star rated product , but that would not be helpful to your engineers . So what I can share is that it is beautifully quiet and has a very nice outside look not cold and industrial ,but not to outdated looking either ,as far as it's performance and most important what it is supposed to do it is very early to see how long it will rate down the road ,but currently it washes the dishes very well , and we like the fact that it is not overly bogged down with unusable technology , so that is why I give it a 4 out 5 rate , Hope this is helpful

Hard to get used to

Blm356 8/16/2021

I like the way the dishwasher looks, but I worry about how it stays wet inside since it will not be used often. I also wish there was a short cycle available. It seems they are all at least 2 hours. I contacted them about the wetness a new they said it's normal and to use the sanitize option since I mostly put glasses in it. The glasses do get dry.

Love my little dishwasher!

Luvmy BOSCH 7/27/2021

My house was built in the 1950s and the cabinets are very narrow. I wanted to preserve the vintage cabinets. The 19" BOSCH fit perfectly under the counter next to the sink in place of one cabinet and a drawer. It is so quiet and efficient! I'm crazy about my new dishwasher. Highly recommend everything about it.

Angela 2/22/2021

This machine cleans extremely well- even with closely stacked overlapping items that weren't rinsed prior to going in that sat for a few days. Super quiet too!

So Quiet

Sam46 1/22/2021

I really like this product, it's small but it's the right size for a family of 4. I run it every night and it's so quiet you don't even know it is running.

Life changing

JayMac 1/22/2021

We replaced our very old dishwasher with a BOSCH! I've never been happier. I can put a spoon with peanut butter in it and it'll be crystal clean when it comes out. On top of that it's whisper quiet. Actually, softer than a whisper. You can barely tell it's functioning, but boy it is. Did I mention how good looking it is? I would recommend this dishwasher to someone who doesn't even have dishes.

Love our Bosch Dishwasher

AZ A&J 1/22/2021

We purchased a Bosch 18" Dishwasher 2 months ago because we did not have a lot of space for a full size dishwasher. We are extremely happy with it. The size is perfect for us and the space we have. It is easy to use, does an excellent job of washing and you can't hear it run at all. We didn't expect it to be as quiet as it actually is. We would highly recommend this Bosch Dishwasher to anyone considering a dishwasher purchase.

Tiny but mighty

dlb’s Bosch 10/25/2020

I am in love with my dishwasher. My kitchen is small and so I opted for the 18 inch model. It does a fantastic job. I can barely hear it because it runs so quietly. Even the glassware that had been hand washed for years and had become dull are now sparkling. I couldn't be happier with my choice.

Enjoying and Surprised.

Beachie 10/24/2020

We replaced our standard sizes dishwasher with an 18" one for a number of reasons. It seems to clean well, runs quietly and looks beautiful! We were surprised the dishwasher doesn't have a heated drying option. Didn't even consider a dishwasher wouldn't have this.
