Whirlpool Gold Dishwasher - Anyone have one?
Comments (2)I have that model, and have been very pleased with it. Cleans well, quiet, very flexible loading options, and looks great with the hidden controls. Even though it does not have a stainless interior, it drys well without having to use the heated option. I looked at several models from Bosch and KA, but kept coming back to the Whirlpool due to the number of features for the price. Hoping it will continue to be problem-free for years to come!...See MoreHow Many Have Tried The New Bosch Dishwashers
Comments (5)I just purchased a Bosch Ascenta about 6 weeks ago. It's not a 3 shelf model, but thought you might like to hear my experience with what I did buy. I had a Bosch previously in another home and appreciated how well it worked and how quiet it was, so when I needed a DW in my current home, I didn't hesitate to purchase another Bosch. (I also am very conscious about where items are made and take that into consideration.) I must say, this new Bosch is VERY quiet (as they all are), but I am still not sure I am as impressed with its cleaning results. It is pretty bare bones, no fancy settings, only choice between: AutoWash, NormalWash and Heavy Wash I believe and Sanitize (whatever that does). I only used it maybe 8-10 times, but find there is usually a few pieces I have to either wash by hand or put in for another round. I am still experimenting with what wash cycle to use. (I was a bit surprised because I remember being 100% pleased with the cleaning results of my previous Bosch, purchased about 14 years ago). My other comment would be about the racks: not sure what it is, but it seems to be difficult to get the dishes to stand properly...it feels a bit small or the tines feel too close together--again I am still getting used to it, so maybe I will figure it out. You might want to make sure the configuration is going to work for you in that model you are considering. The bottom rack also feels a bit wobbly and comes completely out of the dishwasher--don't remember that happening with my last Bosch. When you guide it back in, it likes to slam against the back of the washer. I wanted a white dishwasher and found it extremely weird that i had to "SPECIAL" order it to get white. Times have changed. My last Bosch was Stainless and had to be "special" ordered at that time. Hope this helps....See MoreAnyone have one of the new Bosch DWs with the 3rd rack?
Comments (6)The shx68t55uc is a third rack model Bosch. Just make sure you get one with a good stainless panel if you do stainless. As to function I think it works well as long as you use rinse agent and set it on the automatic and santitize settings. It's very quiet and does a good job with very little h2o left in any of the dishes afterwards. It comes with both the third rack and an extra silverware bin in the first rack. I took the silverware bin out after a few days as I don't use it - I just use the third rack....See MoreAnyone else hate their Bosch dishwasher?
Comments (67)Weve had issues with our new bosch dishwasher as well. First if all, the installation process is a pain-we had bought it to replace our old dishwasher which was fairly new but in order to install the bosch dishwasher, we had to have an electrician and plummer come to rewire and reroute/set up the water lines correctly for the thing to even run. Then we had issues with the power cord and had to have a technician come out and repair/fix that. I also hate how you cant control it/buttons arent accessible unless the door is open. There is inadequare space for dishes, doesnt effectively clean dishes even with high quality dish detergent, rinse aid, and meticulous placement of dishes. Lastly, its annoying how it gets stuck on auto and you have to reset the thing and rerun it just so you can switch to a different mode. I have used many different brands throughout my life-rented in my 20’s and early 30’s including whirpool and LG and never had issues....See MoreEric
