Does anyone have a Bosch 500 series dishwasher?

[Allisonfaye]

If so, how quiet is it?

Can you hear it at all?

Mine is so quiet that when I first got it, I thought it was not working properly becuase you had to get up close to it to hear it at all. I have a very open floorplan and my kitchen flows right into my family room and unless you are standing right next to it, you can''t hear a thing from the family room.

I am very happy with it. Its my third bosch. Each home I''ve owned, I have replaced the existing dishwasher with a bosch.

I am on my 2nd Bosch dishwasher.
My current model is the SHX 68MO6UC

I think my previous model was 1 step below what I have now.

Anyway, IMO, most Bosch model are very quiet. I don''t even know mine is on
unless I look for the red light that shines on the floor indicating it is still on.
But my biggest gripe with my current model is that the dishes are still damp when the cycle turns off.
To get them bone dry, you have to open the door and leave it open a bit.
My salesman explained this is just the way they work. But I don''t remember my
old one being that way. They have "condensation drying time" at the end of the
cycle. The manual reccomends opens the door, pulling the top rack out, to
complete drying. Kinda a pain. Especially considering how much they cost.

You might ask around, but I have heard some of the top of the line Kitchen Aid
DW''s are very quiet.

My husband said KA are made by GE and the reason we are getting a new DW is because our GE just about caught on fire. Smoking, burning, etc.

We have one in Nantucket and it''s super quiet. I don''t love the racks though, they seem kinda flmsy.. Once the cyclle is done the dishes are wet. So like Bebe, we have to open the door and let them dry... To me that''s a pita!!

And you all specifically have a 500 series? There is an 800 series which is supposedly quieter but much more expensive.

Holy Smokes! Sorry to hear that. I don''t blame you for wanting something else then!
I have the manual for mine next to me. It has a features and options chart for all models if you have any questions, I''d be happy to check for you.
And yeah, the racks are not the best.
