Good Points: Very quiet. Washes great. Screens easy to remove. Screens not plastic. Is 12 years old. Easy to keep clean. Water fill level is perfect, not like the Inglis, Kenmores. Uses minimul soap. Only had one part fail so far.
Bad Points: Water fill solenoid last 5 years so it's on it's 3 solenoid. Adding a water damper in the plumbing supply line added two years to the last solenoid. The Rinse liquid adj is questionable. If you don't use Electric heat dry, plastic objects stay wet.
General comments: Rack is not friendly to pots and pans.
This machine has a good water solenoid system but it fails every 4-6 years. It erupts in a screech or a pipe pounding oscillation that'll scare the cat to death! We put the control pad on ECONOMY and left it there for 11 years. Kept it's use simple and it's lasting fine. So I believe the water solenoid to be a lemon contraption here. The rubber diaphragm is too thin, has no strain fibres and dries up from hot water. Unless that unit was upgraded I would not buy it again. I'm a service manager 38 years now and I consider this part to be very weak indeed.

My story would sound just like everyone else's here, but with a Texas accent. I'll spare you that. ;-)
The purpose for coming on this site is to find out whether to spend the bucks to repair it, or just scuttle it. I plan to scuttle it.

I thought that Bosch had a great reputation for superior products, and the fact that it had both a stainless steel interior and was quiet was the decision maker for me. Much to my dismay, the honeymoon with my dishwasher lasted less than a year. Repairmen could not fix it, even though they replaced the touch pad which had broken after a short time. The machine will not stop running except if it is turned off manually, drained and restarted to rinse the ultra-clean dishes. Also, the dishes ne ...

I loved our new Bosch SHU6805UC quite dishwasher. It cost more than I wanted to spend, but it looked like it would last longer than our house. One day it started running longer than normal - 4 hours to complete a load. Sears has tried to fix it 6 times without success. Some times they send one person to work on it and it takes two people to move it around. Parts have been replaced in the hopes it would solve the problem, but nothing helps, and Sears is content to keep sending people to look ...

My Bosch is driving me crazy. At first I loved it because it was so quiet (unlike my old dishwasher that I could never run at night because it woke the kids up.) But for the third time now water has backed up in the bottom of the dishwasher refusing to drain. No problem...supposedly...I cleared the filters and scoped out a chunk of chicken that was caught. I tried running it again and...now the water won't come on although the dishwasher engine is running through the wash cycle. The first r ...

Bosch, Model SHU6805UC, YR 2000. After about 2.5 years of use, Rinse/Hold touch pad key (actually they're tactile type buttons) broke. Required replacement of the whole touch pad. Water solenoid valve failure. While this is disappointing, I must admit that I still like the Bosch Dishwasher. I have asked it to stop stripping the paint off my collection of beer glasses from around the world. I would buy another Bosch.

I bought Bosch SHU in April 98; within a year the control panel buttons failed and the electronic board with it's casing was replaced under warranty with an "improved" unit.
Now after 4 1/2 years from purchase date, they have failed again ! The mechanical link design between the control panel and the electronic board is indeed very poor, as well as the quality of the plastic selected for the electronic board overall casing in comparaison with the balance of the unit and its very good performan ...

This Bosch dishwasher (Model SHU6805 UC) looked like a good buy. I had read a few reviews and read up on the product itself. I'm here to say that the dishwasher sucks. For the price it should never have cost this much. You can get the same thing for less than half the price. A cheap dishwasher does just as good a job at washing the dishes as this one does and at least it dries dishes! Puddles of water, wet plastic ware, wet utensils, wet dish racks.... wet everywhere. You might as well jus ...

I purchased the Bosch SHU6805UC dishwasher three and a half years ago and the push button control panel failed on the Regular Wash Cycle. This is the cycle I use most. Upon closer inspection I realized that Bosch does not use metal springs behind the push buttons, but use instead plastic molded tabs that provide the spring tension. These tabs obviously get brittle with time and heat since they simply break and fall off. From reading the other posts on this board, it seems that about three - thre ...
