Bosch Evolution 500 - A Speedy Assessment

For whatever reason, Kenmore has decided not to renew their contract with Bosch. So I started researching their other dishwashers. I was looking for one that gave exactly the same functions and was in the same price range as the original Kenmore Elite version.

As described in my other post, Bosch utilizes a tripod-leveling system, which makes it a lot much less aggravating to location the dishwasher in position. The front kick plate is removed and also the dishwasher is slid into location. Subsequent, the installer will spin down the front legs, and turn the leveling screw. The average time to complete this really is less than a minute!

It's important to create sure that the opening this dishwasher is becoming placed into is 34 inches from the finished floor towards the under-edge of the cabinet. Unlike other dishwashers, you are not able to cut off the wheels if you need that little bit extra. So, measurements are critical.

All bosch evolution 500 dishwashers have stainless steel racks that are coated with nylon. Nylon is much more durable than a rubber coating, which eliminates rust forming at locations where the coating has worn thin. The stainless steel rack eliminates the chance of rust creating on a broken tine. Racks can cost $100 -$400, so this is a major money saver.

This model also has 4 sets of flip-down tines on the upper and lower rack. The upper rack can be raised or lowered, using the levers situated on the outside of the rack. This enables for higher flexibility when faced with various sized items. I suggest purchasing a model using the levers, because the other models either don't move or need to be manually raised and lowered, which makes it a little more difficult if needing to adjust the rack whilst loaded with dishes.

The interior of the tub is made of stainless steel. This helps with the sound control also as the drying of your dishes. It is more durable than the plastic tubs. Also, if you're preparing installing below granite countertops, dishwashers with stainless steel interiors are the ones that are suggested. The reason for this really is because plastic dishwashers can only be installed in the leading, and stainless can be installed at the leading or sides. Unfortunately, some contractors will shim or glue your plastic dishwasher into location and this makes it difficult to repair.

Quietness is really a major requirement when buying most appliances. This particular Bosch dishwasher is rated at 48 dBa. Raindrops have a dBa of 40. Envision a dishwasher that's almost as quiet as a raindrop!
