Bosch Evolution 500 - A Quick Assessment
For whatever reason, Kenmore has decided not to renew their contract with Bosch. So I began researching their other dishwashers. I was looking for one that gave exactly the same functions and was in the same cost range because the original Kenmore Elite version.
As described in my other article, Bosch uses a tripod-leveling system, which makes it a lot less aggravating to location the dishwasher in position. The front kick plate is removed and the dishwasher is slid into place. Next, 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 is important to create certain that the opening this dishwasher is being placed into is 34 inches from the finished floor towards the under-edge of the cabinet. In contrast to other dishwashers, you aren't able to cut off the wheels in the event you need that small bit extra. So, measurements are critical.
All bosch evolution 500 dishwashers have stainless steel racks that are coated with nylon. Nylon is more durable than a rubber coating, which eliminates rust forming at places where the coating has worn thin. The stainless steel rack eliminates the chance of rust developing on a broken tine. Racks can cost $100 -$400, so this is a major money saver.
This model also has four sets of flip-down tines on the upper and lower rack. The upper rack may be raised or lowered, utilizing the levers located on the outside of the rack. This allows for greater flexibility when faced with various sized items. I suggest buying a model using the levers, since the other models either do not move or have to be manually raised and lowered, which tends to make it a bit more tough if needing to adjust the rack while loaded with dishes.
The interior of the tub is made of stainless steel. This helps with the sound manage also as the drying of your dishes. It is more durable than the plastic tubs. Also, if you're planning installing below granite countertops, dishwashers with stainless steel interiors are the ones which are recommended. The reason for this is simply because plastic dishwashers can only be installed in the leading, and stainless may be installed in the leading or sides. Unfortunately, some contractors will shim or glue your plastic dishwasher into location and this makes it tough to repair.
Quietness is really a main requirement when purchasing most appliances. This particular Bosch dishwasher is rated at 48 dBa. Raindrops possess a dBa of 40. Envision a dishwasher that is almost as quiet as a raindrop!
