Bosch Evolution 500
Dishwasher Review

The Bosch dishwasher is like no other. It washes dishes so quiet you cannot even tell that the unit is running. Many people complain about their dishwashers because they cannot hear the television over them.

Some people start their dishwasher as they are walking out the door to work so they are not bothered by the loud sound of it. Some people have such a loud dishwasher that they cannot sleep at night.

The Bosch dishwasher is so silent it is hard to tell it is running until you are standing next to it.

Pros

Solid

There is a stainless steel tub on the inside of the dishwasher that people enjoy looking at. It is nice to the eyes but it also provides the benefit of not being susceptible to streaks and damages.

Damages occur on plastic insides of dishwashers which decreases the longevity of a dishwasher.

The stainless steel tub ensures a longer life of your dishwasher because it is not prone to excessive scratches and damages from pots and pans and careless use.

Heating element

People also love this dishwasher because it doesn’t have a heating element. This means that you don’t have to worry about things getting melted in your dishwasher now.

Many people lose stirring spoon, plastic bowls, cups, and other various items because the pressure of the water pushes items to the bottom of the dishwasher and the temperatures on the heating element cause them to melt.

No heating element also means you can wash more fragile dishes in your dishwasher because they will not be damaged due to the higher temperatures.

You can now enjoy washing china and other expensive dishes you would normally hand wash.

Cons

One of the cons of this dishwasher is that it doesn’t hold as many dishes as you would expect from a deep dishwasher.

If you have a large party of people over for dinner then you might find yourself having to run two loads to wash all of the dishes or leftover dishes in the sink.

The size is something customers would prefer to change if they could.

Another con of this dishwasher is that the child lock doesn’t really work. The dishwasher doesn’t lock during a load and remain locked.

This makes it easy for kids to open a dishwasher while it is in the middle of a cycle. This will cause the load to start over again when the door is closed which can result in large amounts of water being used.

The lock needs to be fixed and stay locked until the cycle has completed. Because of the quietness of the dishwasher it is easy to forget the dishwasher is running and open the dishwasher for a glass triggering it to start the load over again also.

One of the cons of this dishwasher is that the water is so powerful that it lifts plastics outside of the trays and causes them to fly around in the middle of the loads.

This can be noisy during a cycle and will cause these particular dishes not to dry properly also. The racks in the dishwasher do not hold the dishes properly.

People love the powerful water spray because it thoroughly washes the dishes as it should. However, the downside is that it throws plastic dishes like Tupperware around the dishwasher.

There is a dirt sensor on this dishwasher that allows the unit to adjust the cleaning time associated with how dirty the dishes are.

That way if you are running a load that needs barely a rinse then it won’t use the same amount of water cleaning the dishes. This is an ideal dishwasher for saving energy and water.

If you are looking for a conservative dishwasher then this might be the right unit for you. This dishwasher also qualifies for an energy saving tax credit in certain states.

You might want to check with your state to see if your dishwasher offers energy saving credits for you.

Final Thought

There are many pros and cons of the Bosch dishwasher that you might want to think about before making a purchase. If you are looking for a new dishwasher then this might be the one for you.

You can enjoy extra quiet loads running when you do the dishes and you don’t have to schedule running cycles around your life. You can also enjoy very clean dishes which ensures you don’t have to run dishes in an additional load a second time.
