I purchase all new Bosch Kitchen Appliances. You would think Bosch would appreciate customers like this and treat them well. That is NOT the case. Like so many reviewers here, I found Bosch unwilling to help or to stand behind their own product. Their whole strategy seem to be Deny, deny, deny. My new dishwasher has been one of my worst all-time purchases. First, Bosch shipped the wrong model, and had to send out a new one. The new one squealed throughout the wash cycle from the 1st load. I called my retailer who has in-house servicemen. Nice guy. He came out 3 time trying to fix it, and was unable to do so.
Communicating with Bosch, they told him he had to replace the motor (in a BRAND NEW machine). It is a deeply invasive repair. The repairman said if he had to do this, it would take 2 men and over 2 hours to fix. Since the machine arrived defective from the 1st day, I did not want to completely disassemble a brand new machine and thought it should be replaced with a properly functioning unit. It didn't break from use. It was defective as new. They let me create a formal request asking them to replace the machine. They said they'd get back to me. They never did try to contact me.
3 weeks later I called to see what was going on with my case# and they told me it had been denied. No call, no email - nothing. They told me I could appeal the decision. I filed another report as an appeal - and never heard back from them again. SO sorry I chose Bosch. They have turned into what used to be a high end company into a company churning out low end products with no real support. They do not stand behind their junk. So, buyer beware. I wish I had bought ANY other brand.

We recently bought a luxury built-in freezer that cost over $9,000.00 from Bosch. The freezer came with a dent in the interior, the door seal loosely applied and the gaskets for the door not working. I did not want a freezer with a dent in the interior. Bosch refuses to fix or replace the freezer because the “dent doesn’t affect the performance of the freezer”. They offered us $100 which I refused. I do not want a dented freezer for our newly renovated kitchen. Bosch has refused to replace or fix the freezer. I am still waiting for the gaskets to fix the door and Bosch has told me the seal isn’t important for the freezer to function properly. My freezer was within the Bosch’s one month warranty to “report any damage” and the company still won’t fix the dent. DO NOT BUY. The quality of the product, poor customer service and lack of adhering to their own company warranty is the worse I have experienced with any company, ever.

I purchased a refrigerator 4 months ago and it stopped working. I called and after sitting on hold for 1.5 hrs was given a case number. Bosch tried to arrange a repairman to come out and we ended up getting passed around to 4 different repair companies. Finally Bosch got someone to come out. They said there were several faulty parts that needed to be replaced. They said they could have them here in a few days and get this all fixed. After a few days I called to find out what was going on and they said the parts are backordered until August. It's already been a month and now they are telling me it will be another 3 months!!
I demanded that they replace refrigerator and they said they cannot because it still works and just needs to be repaired. They escalated it and said they can have the parts available in a couple weeks and the repairman can come soon after that. This would put me at 2 months without a refrigerator. All from buying a brand new Bosch appliance. I cannot believe this is actually happening. A faulty machine, never ending customer service loops with no answers or help. Bosch hides behind policies that do not serve or help customers. Don't buy their stuff!

Bosch sucks! The product sucks, their "customer service" sucks and especially their service tech - James - who works in the new Bedford, MA area! He came to my home - damaged the cabinet frame around the appliance - did not reinstall the appliance correctly so around 6 months later the same issue happened. The end result is that Bosch did not reimburse me for my additional $550 I had to spend to correct the issue that James caused. Bosch sucks! Buyer beware - GE or Whirlpool - or if money is no object - sub-zero. Bosch = zero!

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Bosch customer service. I purchased a Bosch refrigerator just two years ago, in January 2024, expecting reliability and quality, but unfortunately, I’ve been dealing with an ongoing issue that has yet to be resolved since it stopped working on April 29, 2026, due to no power.
The biggest frustration has been the extremely poor customer support. It took them four days just to respond to my initial complaint, which is unacceptable for a major appliance that requires urgent attention. Even after finally hearing back, the earliest service appointment they could offer was more than a week away, May 11, 2026. Too late. We need an earliest day.
This situation is even more serious for my household. We have a kidney transplant patient at home who depends on properly stored, fresh food for their health and safety. Due to the refrigerator issue, we have been unable to store food safely, and a significant amount of our food has already spoiled. This has caused not only financial loss but also serious stress and concern for our well-being.
For a company that promotes premium products, the lack of urgency and care for customer satisfaction is very disappointing. A refrigerator is an essential appliance, and delays like this create significant inconvenience—especially in situations like ours. Overall, the slow response time, delayed scheduling, and lack of concern for customers make this a very frustrating experience. I expected much better support and accountability.

I have a Bosch heat pump that was purchased and installed in 2023. I have nothing but problems. The first thing that went was the control board. It was replaced and covered because it was under one year. Now I have a reverse valve that started leaking Freon. Unfortunately for me the unit is over a year old and not covered by a warranty. The unit never cooled right. It’s my problem because I let a A/C installer convince me that Bosch is a good product. Not only does Bosch units breakdown but distributors don’t stock Bosch parts. That means no A/C for days maybe weeks. It’s been almost a week that my contractor ordered the part and now possibly tomorrow it will be delivered. Really bad for me living in S.E. Florida. If one more mechanical thing fails I’m going to write it off and buy any other brand but never Bosch ever again. That goes for all their products.

Overengineered, Frustrating to Use. I really wanted to love this dishwasher, but the reality has been incredibly frustrating. For a product at this price point, the usability—both on the machine itself and in the app—is far more complicated than it should be.
🎛️ Control Panel & Manual – Where the Frustration Started
I initially tried to use the dishwasher manually, thinking that would be the most straightforward approach. Unfortunately, that quickly became frustrating. The control panel is not intuitive:
There are too many icons and unclear symbols.You need the manual just to understand basic functions.
The manual doesn’t help much either:
It’s not organized in a logical, step-by-step way.Instructions for setup and specific features are scattered.
Example: Setting Water Hardness
You must hold a button to enter settings.
Then repeatedly press to toggle through options.
Settings are labeled with vague acronyms.
You have to flip to another section of the manual to decode them.
By the time you find the right page:👉 The settings screen times out.
👉 You have to start over.
If you pass the correct setting:👉 You must cycle through everything again.
This same issue applies to multiple configurations.
📱 App Experience (Tried to Make It Easier… It Didn’t)
Because the manual and control panel were so difficult, I turned to the app thinking it would simplify things.. It didn’t.
🔴 Pairing IssuesPairing is slow and frustrating.
Took multiple attempts even with:
Strong WiFi signal.
Standing right next to the machine.
Following directions exactly.
Total time: 45+ minutes to connect.
🔴 Major Issue: Reconnecting is a Nightmare
If the dishwasher loses connection:
The app tells you it’s disconnected.There is no clear way to reconnect.
You’ll see:
“Technical Info” → Confirms no connection.“My Home Appliances” → Only option is Remove Appliance.
👉 The ONLY real way to reconnect is to:
Remove the appliance.Go through the entire pairing process again.
That’s incredibly frustrating. I spent another 30+ minutes searching the app before having to Google instructions. 👉 If I have to Google how to use your app, something is wrong.
❓ Missing or Unclear Feature Instructions
I could not easily find how to:
Run an express wash.Combine it with the advertised CrystalDry system.
For a machine with so many features, it’s surprisingly difficult to actually use them.
🍽️ Interior Design & Capacity
The interior layout is also disappointing:
Tine configuration limits how dishes fit.Looks spacious in the showroom, but isn’t efficient in real use.
I cannot fit dishes for even a 6-person place setting in one load.
✅ PROSExtremely quiet operation — so quiet that you often can’t tell it’s running.
You actually need to enable a floor light indicator (through the same complex settings) just to know it’s on.
Stainless steel interior (durable, premium feel).
Built-in filter system.
Integrated water softener system (great for hard water areas).
App allows you to:Customize wash cycles to your needs.
Start cycles remotely.
Schedule washes in advance.
Receive alerts when:Salt is low.
Rinse aid is low.
Errors occur.
👉 The technology is impressive on paper
❌ CONSControl panel is not user-friendly.
Manual is poorly organized and not step-by-step.
Pairing is slow and unreliable.
Requires multiple attempts even with strong WiFi.
No clear way to reconnect once disconnected.
Must remove appliance and re-pair.
App is not intuitive.
Key features lack clear instructions.
Interior layout limits capacity.
⚖️ Bottom Line
This dishwasher feels overengineered but under-designed from a user experience standpoint. There are genuinely great features here—but they are buried under:
Poor usability.Frustrating setup.
Lack of intuitive design.
👉 If it were easier to use, this could be a fantastic product.👉 As it stands, it’s more work than it should be.

I would rate Bosch customer service a ZERO if I could. The absolute worst company to work with. We bought a Bosch refrigerator about a year ago. It has a water dispenser that has leaked since it we installed it. We have spent over 100 hours on the phone with customer service. We have had 8 separate service technicians replace every possible part. Still leaks. After 1 year of fighting with them, they agreed to buy back our leaking fridge. We signed their terms and agreed to move forward with the buyback.
Then a couple of days later, Bosch rescinded the offer saying they couldn't find a vendor to come and pick up the broken fridge. They had authorized vendors to do multiple repairs, but now they can help. They have now stopped responding to emails and have completely ignored the terms THEY agreed to and sent us. This is the worst experience ever. Paid top dollar for a refrigerator only to have it leak every day. So, if you are thinking about a Bosch appliance, I would caution you. They do not care at all if their appliances don't work or leak. They will turn their backs and walk away. I will never buy or recommend them again. BOSCH SUCKS! #don'tbuybosch

Purchased a series 800 Bosch dishwasher 10-23-25. We noticed an awful toxic smell after about 20 minutes that filled the entire home. We called Bosch and they sent out a serviceman. He stated it would go away with use. 2 months later it is still omitting the very toxic smell that we consider a possible health risk due to my asthma. We called Bosch and they again sent out a serviceman. He disassembled part of the new machine and recommended we replace a part inside. This part would have to ordered and it would be a 2 hour service call as the machine would have to taken apart. He ordered the part and said it would take 2 weeks.
We contacted Bosch and expressed our displeasure that our brand new machine was going to be taken apart and hopefully put back together again properly. We asked for a replacement and was told they do not do that under the Bosch warranty, only repair. We are living with this faulty toxic machine and would advise consumers to avoid this company as they do not care about the wellbeing of the customer.
