Exactly What I Needed
The contractors who installed my granite countertop and dishwasher did an awful job. They drilled a long screw directly from the dishwasher side to the side of the counter (see photo 1). Two problems with that: 1) they didn’t drill a pilot hole so the wood cracked, and 2) there was an inch of space between the inside of the washer and the wood, so it would have been unstable regardless. Of course, the screw tore off the wood.This undercounter bracket solved that issue. Easy to install (see photos 2 and 3). I couldn’t give 5 stars because the screws that come with the kit do not screw in flush to the undercounter mount — I think the holes of the mount and the threads of the screws aren’t a perfect match, and as a result the washer isn’t held firm. I didn’t force the screw in either — tried to hand-tighten it before mounting just to see if the screw threads lined up and they didn’t.For good measure, I also got side-mounting brackets (photo 4) and installed those as well because the undercounter mount didn’t hold the washer tight enough (bc of the loose screws) to prevent the washer from moving a little when I open/close the door. Going belt and suspenders did the trick. I highly recommend doing both.

Solid Dishwasher Counter Mounting Bracket
First and foremost, I got this great countertop bracket installed and it is solid, even though my Bosch dishwasher was not designed for it and it took me longer than expected to install. 5 stars for exceptional functionality and style!!We had new countertops installed and noticed the dishwasher wasn't attached afterward, then found this product and reviews on Amazon. It wasn't "E-Z" for me. When it arrived from USPS, it was tightly wrapped in clear bubble wrap, but 1/3 of it was bent at 60 degrees. I was upset and was going to return it, but thought - if it gets bent at the ends to install anyway, it might be easier for me to just straighten it out and try to install. When I held it up to my Bosch dishwasher, my dishwasher brackets were too far over toward the outside edges. So thought to just move them: 1) Pull out the dishwasher slightly - more difficult because we had wood floors installed at some point in time and the dishwasher was at its own level without the wood floors, so after adjusting the sticky legs up a LOT was able to slide the dishwasher out to move its top brackets. 2) There was only one other space to screw my existing dishwasher top brackets to, but it wasn't designed for them. By turning my brackets outward instead of 90 degrees, 3 of the 5 bends would fit in, so took a Dremel Tool and a cutting attachment to make small cuts in the vertical plastic to make the dishwasher's original top brackets attach solidly at ~75 degree angle and in a position to work with this mounting bracket. Since my dishwasher was already pulled out slightly, I also marked the exact holes to use and tested the screws included before moving the dishwasher back. I noticed that the 2 dishwasher mounting bracket screws included were too small for my dishwasher's original top brackets. I happened to have a couple of the exact sized washers to make it work.So after my modifications, the rest was EASY. Took careful measurements then bent the mounting bracket 90 degrees on each end, and after 1 adjustment the mounting bracket held in place perfectly even before screws and adhesive caulk. At that point, very easy to mark screw holes, remove bracket, drill 4 holes, put adhesive caulk on the top of the bracket(maybe optional since the bracket is so strong), then screwed in the 4 included side screws. Put my washers on the 2 included screws and screwed my dishwasher's top brackets in. There was an ever slight downward bend in the middle of the mounting bracket that would not have been noticed, but I put a couple of clamps on the center glued section for an hour and when I removed them it looked so good under the counter I didn't even need to put finishing caulk on it. This mounting bracket looks great and holds my Bosch dishwasher in solidly. Bosch Dishwasher Model SHE4AP06UC06

Added after countertop and after original dishwasher installation - great fix
I had granite countertops installed a few years ago, then later bought a new dishwasher that was installed by the big box vendor. Between the two installations, a piece of wood that the dishwasher supports were screwed into cracked and broke. So the dishwasher was never quite stable and visibly didn't stay square in the space, one side protruded noticeably forward and one side was noticeably recessed. I looked at the problem and didn't want to try to replace the broken wood and discovered this metal support system.The metal bracket itself was simple to install, but first I had to remove the wood strip and then, in my case, trim a little piece of the countertop support that was in the way using a Dremel tool.Once that was done, it was just insert the metal bracket, drill pilot holes for the screws and screw the metal bracket to the counter. Line up the dishwasher's metal tabs with the new metal bracket, screw them to the metal bracket and I was done. Now the dishwasher sits properly (I would say "squarely") in its opening and finally looks like it had a proper installation.Very simple fix for what I had thought would be a headache to repair.

Decent Solution
Well it worked somewhat, but not exactly as the directions went. I had to file the edges with my Dremel so the length would fit. Not the products fault, my cabinet was just short of 24”. I didn’t use silicone adhesive. And I couldn’t use the one screw, because it interferes with my dishwasher door and was going to cause a gouge to develop. There was already a scratch from just closing the dishwasher door a couple times. The door is now harder to close because of the bracket , but at least my dishwasher won’t tip forward. I could use a couple extra of the flat screw since I couldn’t use the shorter screw. My counter has a wood shim glued to the granite so maybe that’s why my install had to change but I was able to screw into the shim.

Very easy to install, did the job
This was perfect to anchor my dishwasher to my new stone countertop! While I wished I had realized that I needed it before the stone was installed, the thorough instructions described installation for both before a countertop was installed and afterwards. I just had to bend the corners, silicone caulk the top where indicated, and then screw the corners to the cabinets on either side of the dishwasher. Then I screwed the dishwasher brackets into the EZ bracket, using the hole that matched where I needed the bracket to be screwed in. It has both the screws for the cabinets and the screws for the dishwasher, which was really nice since I wasn't sure I had such small screws on hand. It came it weird packaging - just the bracket wrapped in bubble warp (not in a box or envelope), but it was relatively undamaged, just needed bent back into shape in a couple of places.
