Good Points

Our Bosch dishwasher did a great job of cleaning the dishes.


Bad Points

Very unreliable.


General Comments

We have had our SHU series Bosch dishwasher for less than 3 years. In that short time the control board has shorted out 3 times. Each time it has taken from 2 to 6 weeks to get a replacement board installed. The unit went out again last night with the same problem. For US$700 it should be a crime to sell such a lousy piece of gear. I plan on taking the unit to the metal yard to sell it for scrap and then may pay the operator a tip to get to watch them toss it into the car shredder!

    do you have the specific model?

    Without citing a model number it's difficult to consider your comments. You're making it harder to choose, unless you're saying that all Bosch dishwashers are problematic.

    My Bosch dishwasher is a SGS5312.

    It is around 2 years old. The control board is just burnt out. The cycle completed but wouldn't heat up during the cycle, effectively using cold water. Not much use!

    We bought Bosch thinking it would be reliable, but the cost of the new board plus labour equated to over a third of the cost of the dishwasher in the first place.

    I cannot therefore recommend this Bosch. There are many other Bosch models with the same board, so please consider your choice of dishwasher very carefully.
