- Features
- Hard Food Disposer: false (This feature has blades to chop and disintegrate hard food particles, making them small enough to easily drain away. This prevents them from being recirculated back onto dishware and allows for easy maintenance.)
- Drying Method: Heated drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)
- Operating Sound Level: 42 decibels adjusted (Today's appliances are pretty quiet. To get a sense for how quiet you'll need, think about having a conversation in the same room.

A: I looked up the difference to find out and decided on the 800, it does dry really well. I would suggest looking it up. I can't believe how clean my dishes are. I used to rinse them and never put pans in it, I don't rinse now and wash pans and I am super impressed.

Does well. Enough.
The dishwasher does wash dishes really well (unlike the Samsung it replaced). That's about where the positives end. Several cycles, including rinse only, are locked behind a cloud connection and an app. In addition, the dishwasher has no real status indicators on it other than an LED. The Samsung would show the time remaining in the cycle on the LCD, however the Bosch does not. As with other 3 rack dishwashers, you can't wash tall dishes in the bottom rack and cups in the top rack without removing the third rack. Not a major deal (plus there isn't a lot that can be done without making the dishwasher taller than standard 33"), though it would be nice if the rack was easier to remove. As other reviews have noted, the dishwasher seems to have trouble fully drying dishes, and has a faint fishy odor. The dishwasher was also scuffed up on arrival, however I didn't notice until after the installer left. Finally, the dishwasher is perhaps a bit too quiet. It's hard to tell that a cycle has started when you close the door, there should be some kind of chime to indicate that it has started.

Awesome dishwasher - Need tweaks for ideal results
We bought this 800 series dishwasher in February 2024 to replace a Kitchenaid model that was awful in cleaning dishes. We love this Bosch. I would have given 5*, but took a star out because it requires some tweaks to get the most ideal performance. We love the quiet performance, the dishes come out clean and dry every time. We also got rid of the dreaded "Bosch fish smell" on dishes! To get this performance consistently, I recommend the following: 1. Use a rinse agent. Period. It does not matter what detergent you use, but don't skimp on the rinse agent. You need that for optimal drying and spotless dishes just like in any Bosch dishwasher that does not have a dryer element. 2. Download the Home Connect APP. There are many features including remote start, decoding symbols on the door etc. that are available only through the app 3, Use the top rack. Like many, I also complained about the cutlery basket taking up too much space. I finally discovered that I can place all the spoons & forks along with flat utensil on the top tray for spotless cleaning and allowing the bottom tray for more plates. See attached photo. We had 60+ spoons, forks and knives after our thanksgiving dinner! 4. One month after our new dishwasher was installed, we hit the fishy odor phenomenon. We had this issue with our previous Bosch 15 years ago as well, which we could not overcome despite constant filter cleaning and using dishwasher cleaner. I read that placing a piece of copper tubing helps get rid of this issue. I placed one in the middle rack (see attached picture) skeptically and in the 11 months after placing that, we have not had a single fish odor episode! My go to wash cycle is Auto with the power control spray arm turned on front and back and sanitize + crystal dry. It takes 3 hrs and 5 minutes for sparkly clean, fresh smelling and warm & dry dishes.. every single time. I wish this dishwasher had an express 30 minute short cycle for a quick wash & rinse before a dinner party. Overall, a great machine, especially after these tweaks.

Best Buy Christmas
My husband and I decided to give each other a new Bosch dishwasher this past Christmas. The team at Best Buy made it happen! We are very happy with the Bosch 800 Series dishwasher. It continues to exceed our expectations on cleaning and drying performance. The best part...It's so quiet when running!!! The flexible racks are awesome and allow us to load our 11" plates. We owned a Bosch 20 years ago and are still impressed with their quality and reliability. Best Christmas ever!
