Reviews of the Best Bosch Appliances:

Robert Bosch founded Bosch Corporation in 1886 and today the company is a leader in home appliances and power tools with innovative designs and engineering. The most popular home appliance from Bosch are their dishwashers. Bosch dishwashers are rated very high by consumer reports and owners for their ability to clean even the toughest stains on dishes. They are also water and energy efficient to help save you money while still protecting delicate items you want to wash. Although Bosch dishwashers tend to be more expensive than other competitors models, most owners would say it's worth it. They are so quiet that Bosch has recently added and Infolight that "beams on the floor" so you know it's running. Another feature is the multiple sensors that automatically adjust the final temperature and wash cycle for the ultimate in spotless dishes. The Bosch Integra dishwashers offer the 800 Series, 800 Series 18", 500 Series, and 300 Series. The Evolution series dishwashers from Bosch are #1 Rated from consumers. The stainless steel interiors keep water staining away and a beautiful shine for years to come. Bosch Dishwashers range from about $350 all the way up to $1600. One complaint from consumers has been that Bosch dishwashers need servicing twice as often as competitors which can add up. Some models are rated higher than others, so check them out online at Boschappliances.com.

The Bosch Universal Mixer ($320) is great for mixing light and heavy batters, kneading the heaviest doughts, and blends perfectly. The Bosch Concept 7 Mixer has dozens of accessories and the 700 watt motor surpasses all competition in the non-commercial mixing products. How about the top Bosch water heater? We read several reviews online for the Bosch AquaStar 125FX-LP Whole House Liquid Propane Tankless Water Heater ($699) (the Natural Gas option got similar ratings as well) and consumers like this model the best. This energy efficient water heater can produce up to 4.3 gallons of hot water per minute and some owners reported a 35% reducting in water heating costs.

Bosch Power Tools:

Moving on to the power tools from Bosch we can finally appreciate all the gadgets that go into making these products a success, especially amongst the DIY (do it yourself) homeowners. Having quality, reliable power tools at home makes projects and repair jobs much easier. Bosch has one of the best names in power tools supplying homeonwners with the necessary tools to complete any task. They specialize in cordless drills, hammers and hammer drills, grinders sanders, planers, routers, saws & benchtops, and dust extraction systems. We prefer to do most of our shopping for power tools online at Amazon.com and they carry Bosch plus all the other top makers of tools. The best selling Bosch router is the Bosch 1619EVS 3-1/4 HP Electric Plunge Router ($284) - owners love the added HP and soft start function that minimizes startup torque. The router can accept large bits and the under-table setup system is exclusive to Bosch. Bosch also makes a complete line of fixed base routers, palm routers, and router tables. We own several of the Bosch drills and fasteners and can't imagine life without them. The top rated Bosch drills are the Bosch PS20-2 Litheon Pocket Driver 10.8-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Pocket Screwdriver, Bosch 32614-2G 14.4-Volt Ni-Cad 3/8-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit, and the Bosch 23612 Impactor 12-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Impact Driver. They supply power, torque, comfort, control, and durability. The most popular Bosch table saws are the Bosch 4000-09 10" Worksite Table Saw with Gravity-Rise Wheeled Stand, Bosch 4000-07 10" Worksite Table Saw with Folding Stand, and the Bosch 4000 10" Worksite Table Saw. All are about $500 and get high marks in consumer reviews. They provide for accurate cuts combined with the power to take on tough jobs. For the best hammer drill, go with the Bosch 1194AVSRK 8 Amp 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill ($122) or the Bosch 11255VSR BULLDOG Xtreme 1" SDS-plus D-Handle Rotary Hammer ($229). People in the remodeling and construction business say the Rotary Hammer is "an indispensible tool". Bosch jig saws come in both the barrel grip and top handle models. The top models in each style are the Bosch 1590EVSK 6.4 Amp Top Handle Jigsaw ($159) and the Bosch 1591EVSK 6.4 Amp Barrel Grip Jig Saw ($179). They offer no blade wandering and a 50% more accurate cut over the competition. The one touch blade change and precise cutting are why Bosch remains the #1 maker of Jig saws. Lastly, the compound and slide miter saws from Bosch outperform and are rated higher than any other brand. the Bosch 5412L 15 Amp 12-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser ($585) and the Bosch 4410L 15 Amp 10-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw ($539) are top sellers on Amazon with their laser tracking for precise cutting and "great for crown molding cutting". Bosch also produces fine quality circular saws, power handsaws, rotary saws, reciprocating saws, grinders, nibblers, shears, tuckpointers, belt sanders, planers, and the Airsweep Dust Extraction System.

Bosch Parts:

Eventhough Bosch appliances and power tools are built to last, they can need repairs along the way and finding Bosch parts is quite easy. You can go to a couple different sites depending on what type of product you have theirs. For home appliances, we suggest going to http://www.boschappliances.com/site_tools/orderparts.cfm?menu_id=34. For power tools owners manuals and parts diagrams go to http://www.boschtools.com/product-services/owners-manual-and-parts-diagram/ - just enter the model # to pull up the right diagram or manual. Another independent site is at http://www.toolpartsdirect.com/bosch-tool-parts.html - here you can search by your actual Bosch product (planer, hammer drill, saw, etc) and find the right model and order your replacement part.
