Do Bosch Dishwashers Have A Heating Element, Are They Able To Heat Dry Dishes?
I want to buy a Bosch dishwasher, but I am concerned that I have heard they are not built with a heating element. I like my dishes to dry heat, not air dried and I fear that this brand washer can not do that. In addition, if they do not have their own source of heat, what this means water used to wash the dishes does not get hotter than what comes out of your water heater? I had some difficulty getting this response from sellers of household appliances because of the brand. Thank you!
You are correct, Bosch does not have a heating element in the tub. It uses what they call “condensation drying”. I am buying a dishwasher too and found a store that had working demos on the floor…basically, if you have any plastics, they will come out wet…metals and ceramics will dry fine with this type of drying technique, although they still were a bit drippy in spots. I am going with a different brand for that reason since we have polycarbonate drinking cups (restaurant cups).
Do keep in mind that some stores employees (Sears, Lowes, etc) are on commission. I know that employees at Lowes make less money on commission from Bosch appliances than other brands, so they tend to steer people away from them. But bottom line, Bosch cleans very well, but the no heated dry cycle has kept me from buying one. It does have a heating element that is NOT in the tub which heats the water.
Got one they are really great they do excellent you do have to keep spot dry in that little compartment though. The one with 3 little windows
Bosch dishwashers get high marks. Well they should, considering they cost an arm and a leg. Yes they do have a heating element
Bosch’s may be great, but I sure do miss my Asko dishwasher. That was a Rolls Royce dishwasher — Quieter than a refrigerator ( I remember having to constantly put my head down close to door to see if it was on. That’s how quiet it was), and man could it clean dishes, and its capacity was friggin huge.
I have one and I hate it, had service on it 3 times in 2 years. I bought it because everyone you talked to said it was the best. I loved my Maytag.
