Product review (1 stars): No More Bosch For Me
I purchased this unit (SHE3AR56UC) three weeks ago and echo the experiences of all those who say that this dishwasher simply doesn't clean dishes. I followed all the manufacturer's instructions- first mistake, don't use the "auto wash" setting. Even on "heavy wash" and "sanitize", the unit couldn't even remove a dried film of tea from a teacup- something I was able to do just by wetting the cup and using my fingers! All dishes were scraped clean of food particles. Flat dishes seemed to get reasonably clean, but there was a dirty film left on some bowls. I used the same dishwashing powder I had been using in my 12-year-old Maytag without any issue. Water temp at the tap was measured at 140 degrees, 20 hotter than required by the mfr. No issue with water pressure either. The spray arms turned freely. Rack stacking was per mfr's recommendations, and other ways as well. The unit was leveled as required during installation. Luckily my vendor will take it back in under 30 days and I have already ordered a competing brand as a replacement. Note that this unit does not have a disposer and you must clean the filter manually. Ugh! At least it was quiet, but apparently it wasn't doing anything, so maybe that's why!
