This is the nicest dishwasher we have ever installed. It feels solid and substantial. It looks gorgeous in my new kitchen. I feel good about this purchase.. Jewels. Blanding, UT. Fri Sep 18 2026

I have had this dishwasher a few months now and it seems to work really good. The main top rack for large spoons and things sometimes does not get completely clean. My only other complaint is that they send a mat for noise that goes underneath after installation and it is hard to put on the bottom of the dishwasher and then kept falling down and knocking the bottom foot plate off so we had to just take it out. It really helped with noise and now the dishwasher is really loud when its working. Otherwise it does a good job.. Adtemp. Fri Oct 16 2026

Equator 2440: The Dinner Party’s Quietest Guest After the last course is served and the wine glasses begin to empty, the Equator 2440 Dishwasher takes its place—not center stage, but just behind the curtain where the real performance happens.

With eight wash programs and a sanitize function that reaches 150°F, it doesn’t just wash—it finishes the job. It turns the aftermath of hosting into a soft fade to black.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the Bosch dishwasher to replace our previous Bosch dishwasher (lasted 25 years!!!). Because of our experience with the first Bosch, we stayed with the same brand. It obviously is a very well made appliance. (Made in the USA!!) It's very quiet, to the point I have to double check the panel to see if it's on. Would recommend the Bosch dishwasher.. Anonymous. Fri Aug 28 2026

Does an excellent job of cleaning. Has plenty of room as well. It’s also very quiet and dries well too!. Lespauldude. Kings Park Ny. Wed Jul 29 2026

I love everything about this dishwasher. It has more features than I thought I needed, but I've used all of them. Initially I was frustrated the racks weren't configured the same as my old LG, but I figured them out, they do fold down, so all is right with the world. I can fill it up the way I'm used to. I hope they hold up, they seem thinner gauge than my previous quad wash. Dishes and glasses come out shiny and dry. Crazy how much cleaner, steam for the win. As for noise, the only time you hear it, is when it's filling up, otherwise it's quiet. It has a light. Yes, a light! I love the light! Really nice feature none of us ever knew we needed. The light is inside the tub, and there is soft white light that shines on the floor to let you know it's running and when it's completed its cycle. I also love the fact the door opens when it's done and lets the steam out. I really love this dishwasher.. Momma0. Wentzville, MO. Mon Jul 27 2026
