Bosch SPX68B55UC

When we moved into a home with a small kitchen and no dishwasher, we removed an 18″ cabinet to install this model—and we absolutely LOVE it! The only drawback is that it doesn’t dry the dishes effectively. Once the cycle finishes, we’ve found that propping the door open with a towel helps the dishes dry much better. I’ve heard some models automatically pop the door open at the end of the cycle, which would be a fantastic feature, but unfortunately, this one doesn’t include it.

This is not our first Bosch dishwasher, and it certainly won’t be our last. The 800 series matches the high standards of our previous model in both features and cleaning performance, and it’s astonishingly even quieter. Without the red light projected onto the floor, we wouldn’t even realize it’s running!

We’ve found that the lower rack lacks sufficient height for taller items, such as stock pots and baking sheets, and the tines are spaced too closely for wider items like cutting boards. That said, we’ve been quite satisfied with the washing and drying performance—once we realized that using a rinse aid is recommended. The appliance operates nearly silently and is surprisingly efficient as well.

Our Bosch 18″ dishwasher is fantastic! It’s the perfect size for our small kitchen and two-person household. It’s easy to load and does an excellent job cleaning. Highly recommend!

It fits perfectly in the space left by the 18-inch cabinet I removed to make room! Despite its compact size, it cleans my dishes efficiently and offers surprisingly good capacity. While it was advertised as very quiet, I don’t find it to be particularly silent—I can hear it running in my living room (which is a separate room). However, I didn’t choose it for its noise level; I picked it for its energy star rating and the convenient third rack. I wasn’t expecting complete silence, so the noise doesn’t bother me at all.

We’re pleasantly surprised with our new Bosch 18” dishwasher. Everyone warned us that an 18” model would be too small, but it holds plenty for two people. It’s incredibly quiet—without the red light that indicates it’s running, we wouldn’t even know it’s on!

I’m very impressed by the well-designed trays, which accommodate a variety of dish types. I’m also highly satisfied with how clean and dry the dishes come out. It’s great that it has an indicator light to show it’s on, and it operates incredibly quietly.

You can’t even tell it’s operating—it’s that quiet! The size is perfect for two people; we run it every two days, and the dishes come out sparkling clean, especially when using the 30-minute Express setting!

It’s the quietest dishwasher we’ve ever owned! It also does a fantastic job getting the dishes clean.

This dishwasher has so many fantastic features! I love how easily you can adjust the racks and positions to fit different-sized items. It’s very intuitive, with various modes and options, and best of all, it’s incredibly quiet. I have no complaints after using it for about a month. One more standout feature is the special coating Bosch uses on the stainless steel—it’s amazing! Fingerprints wipe right off with just water, so there’s no need for any harsh, toxic stainless steel cleaners.

This dishwasher is so much quieter and cleans better than our old one. As others have mentioned, it doesn’t heat dry, so the plastic items do stay wet, but honestly, it doesn’t bother me at all.
