500 Series Pocket Handle Dishwasher
Delivery between Tue - Thu $39
Free 2-day returns
Bosch 500 Series dishwasher combines PrecisionWash and Zone Wash to deliver a smarter, more efficient clean. PrecisionWash uses intelligent sensors and targeted spray to continuously map and clean every item load, adjusting spray power as needed. Zone Wash creates a dedicated intensive cleaning area for stubborn, stuck‐on food. At 44 dBA, it’s the quietest dishwasher brand in the U.S., allowing cycles with minimal disruption. Loading flexibility is enhanced by a standard 3rd Rack for utensils and small items, plus RackMatic lets you raise or lower the upper rack in three heights across nine positions to fit tall items. Wi‐Fi Home Connect enables remote monitoring and control through the Connect platform and supports hands‐free voice control with Amazon Alexa or Google Home. An AutoAir door opens at the end of cycles to improve drying. Built for 24" spaces, it accommodates up to 16 place settings in fingerprint‐resistant stainless steel, ADA compliant, with energy use around 240 kWh/year, and it reflects Bosch quality in every detail.

Dishwasher with no smart features
I have a Bosch 500 series. It has the Wi-Fi stuff, but I have never used it. It’s the best dishwasher I’ve ever owned. My wife uses the Wi-Fi sometimes, but when I do the dishes they come out cleaner. (I still pre rinse.)

24" stackable washer dryer recommendations
Hi there, thanks for writing! So we had a bumpy road but it worked out ok in the end. We initially went with a 24" Bosch 500 washer/ventless dryer combo. Worked great for a little bit, but the dryer started to fail after about 5 months -- I suspect the lint built up and where it a "self-cleaning" (though nonremovable) heatpump, we couldn't access it and service it ourselves. Other parts failed as a result from the buildup and despite some repairs, they didn't take. The outcome? We got Bosch to replace our 500. We went with a 300 -- technically a downgrade, but it has a removable condenser filter, plus accessible sump pump. THAT ensures we can clean out any lint buildup much easier than before. The 300 dryer and 500 washer are working nicely together and have been doing so for just about a year now. We put it through the paces, but use a low amount of detergent and NO disposable dryer sheets (using them is a big no no for Bosch units). I do a full clean on the dryer every 2-3 weeks (clean lint trap by running it under the tap/air drying, clean lint out of condenser filter, remove sump pump hatch and clean out any lint there, then put them all back together when air dried for awhile). Seems to keep things running nicely. I can confirm that the ventless dryer can work well, but if you do go that route, look up some Youtube videos on whether they can be cleaned/self serviced. If you see "self clean" or "non-removal heat pump", suggest to stay away. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions! Good luck in making our decision!

Bosch 800 from Costco: Incredible
We got the 500 series a few months ago and love it. In hindsight I probably should've just ponied up another couple hundred for the 800, but oh well. The only thing that makes me rage is washing lightweight plastic containers. I cook a lot and use lots of deli containers and because the jets are so powerful this thing likes to flip those little shits over and fill them with water unless I strategically weigh them down with heavier items. I can live with it. Just have to be careful when I pull the racks out so I don't slosh water everywhere.
