“Drying? Lots of reviews about this dw not drying properly. Is this a design flaw? Are the dishes not getting dry immediately after the cycle or are they still wet some time later? Very concerned about this issue.”

There is some moisture in unit immediately following cycle. I had this with my recently retired expensive Maytag as well. I usually let unit sit for a few hours if possible to complete drying, as well as make sure dishes and cups are loaded in a way that prevents any pooling of water.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That has not been my experience. What setting are you using for drying. Sahara works fine for me.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've had this dishwasher for about 3 weeks, and I haven't noticed anything unusual about the drying. I use the air dry function and my dishes are dry when I take them out ( which is usually the next morning). No different than any other dishwasher I've owned.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We've experienced no problem with drying. Make sure the drying option is selected. They also have a "Sahara" option which is even higher heat but we haven't needed it. We use normal wash setting with "surge" water pressure and "heat" drying cycle and results have been very good. dishes and glasses are dry with no spotting. If you're doing this and dishes are still wet after the complete cycle something might be wrong.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Dishes come out dry for the most part. Plastic dishes will be somewhat wet under the edges, but that's it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This dishwasher seems to dry just fine for me, even on normal cycle. No issues whatsoever if loaded properly.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We do not use the dry cycle. Heat from the water still will dry our dishes in our experience. Sometimes we open the door of a clean load if we are leaving to speed up drying on plastic items. Only issue we have had is with cups that are not flat on bottom that water sits in and small plastic kid bowls that sometime move to capture water.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you wait and let it air dry they are pretty much dry by the time we put them away. I don't notice any mildew smell or anything like I've read on other Bosch reviews. I would say it's pretty normal. You can always use the heating element and it will dry the dishes much faster. We don't both with it and I'd say there's no more or less water than we had with our previous GE dishwasher which was 10 years old. I wouldn't worry about it unless you can't stand having a tiny amount of water on the tops of some of your cups once in a while.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I found that the "normal" wash cycle dries very well but if you put it on the "quick" cycle, the dishes remain wet.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Dries fine. Plastic items don't dry well in any dishwasher. PS, it won't put the dishes away when it's done either!!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
