(More customer reviews)We've had a couple of Bosch dishwashers with no issues, so we purchased this machine during a recent kitchen remodel. It was installed in Nov 2010. Last week it stopped working - no power. Rather than wait for a repair person, I did some basic diagnostics and discovered that the power connector located at the hottom right behind the kickplate had completely melted, leaving a live wire loose in the metal junction box. The connector from Tyco was easy to source and I was able to quickly replace it - saving losing a days work waiting for someone from Bosch.
As I was surprised about the issue, I did some research on the Internet and discovered that a large number of people had reported the same problem - Bosch have apparently told them "it's an installation issue". I find this hard to believe as it's pretty simple to connect 3 wires! Bosch have an ongoing recall for earlier dishwashers (an unrelated issue). If you search for Bosch recall and look for comments you'll find people talking about this problem on their later generation machines.
While the dishwasher works well, IT CANNOT BE RECOMMENDED until Bosch replace the connector with a more durable item.

History of Bosch 1886 - A modern industrial giant began humbly enough when German engineer, Robert Bosch, opened his Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Engineering. 1906 - Bosch had established its first U.S. subsidiary. That was followed by 60 years of growth into what became the Robert Bosch LLC. 1990 - Through acquisitions and innovation engineering, Bosch Appliances had grown to 41 subsidiaries worldwide. 1997 - Bosch made a bold commitment to the U.S. market with the construction of the New Bern, North Carolina Dishwasher plant. 2001 - Bosch Appliances are now available in 100 countries across the globe. The brand is proud to be ranked as the #1 and #2 dishwashers in a leading consumer magazine. 2002 - The on-going quality dedication and quest for innovation continue to make Bosch the leader in upscale appliances. Unmatched silence. Unrivalled energy and water efficiency. That's the story behind every Bosch dishwasher. Their dishwashers are manufactured to the strictest specifications using the highest quality materials. What's more, they are intelligently designed with a host of conveniences to make everyday use a pleasure, and engineered to deliver sparkling clean dishes wash after wash. Available at AJ Madison. Bosch Outperforms Miele By Out-Engineering Them. For the 800 Plus, quieter and more efficient translates into operating as quietly as 40 dBA and using 156% less water than the average dishwasher - numbers that Miele just can't match. And with the unique AquaStop Plus safety feature and a third-rack design that fits small cutlery as well as larger, oddly shapped items, you'll see for yourself how the 800 Plus stacks up to the Miele line.
