Some models marketed as Hybrid will use both materials in the tub, often using stainless steel on the interior door to increase durability on the part of the appliance with the most common wear and tear.)

  • 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: Condenser 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.)

Q: should my new Bosch 800 show red light flashing on the floor or be on steady when on ?

A: If you're Bosch dishwasher displays a red light on the floor and it is currently blinking and the dishwasher is not running it is because you are out of rinse aid fill the reservoir and it should work. It is very hard to find this information.

Q: Does this have a hard food disposer? If not, is it a self cleaning filter or a manual one? Thank you.

A: There is a manual filter that you can easily access and empty. I especially wanted this, because I had to spend so much time and effort and would end up in pain with my old dishwasher. You would think that an "automatic" food grinding system would be ideal, but on our old highly-rated when bought KitchenAid dishwasher, I had to get down on the floor and contort and strain myself to dismantle the thing to clean it out. It was very difficult and required a great deal of hand/arm strength to take apart to get to the food grinding mechanism. Every so often a piece of plastic or crab shell or pistachio nut shell would get lodged in the food grinding system and clog it so that no food bits would get disposed, resulting in crud all over the dishes. I don't know how common this is, but I much prefer a system that is manual and easy to use. This machine has a 2-stage filter that just lifts out. I just cleaned it after 2 months of daily use and found a twister seal in the first compartment and food and debris in the second. Easily (and painlessly!) removed, rinsed with hot water, and replaced in two minutes.

Q: Does this have heated dry? A review here and another site mentions no heat dry, and that just surprises me for a dishwasher at this price point. We've never used Bosch before so I'm not sure if this is a Bosch thing?

A: It seems to be a European dishwasher option - no heating element for drying. It does have “extra dry” option which I’ve used - the water is very hot and I found everything dry when done. I have not tried a cycle without the extra dry option.

Q: I am so torn between this Bosch model and a highly rated Kitchenaid model—I would like to hear from other Bosch owners how satisfied or dissatisfied they are with this unit. Thanks to all!

A: Don’t know the Kitchenaid except that we had an old 25 year old model that ran forever with no maintenance. But we decided on the Bosch because of the high ratings and we love it! So quiet, lots of loading options, love the 3rd rack on top for,odd utensils, etc. Also lots of cycle options for our family of 2 that doesn’t make a lot of dishes.

Q: Is the top (3rd) try designed for silverware (slats specifically for silverware) like I've seen in other Bosch dishwashers?

A: Yes, the third tray has slots where silverware can be lined up for washing. You can put shallow things or odd pieces like lids,spatulas.

Q: Do any of the Bosch dishwashers have smudge resistant stainless steel? The Bosch refrigerator I would like to purchase is smudge resistant stainless steel.

A: Hi there. Thank you for your question. This dishwasher is not finger print resistant. There may be minimal finger prints that would require cleaning.

Q: Does this Dishwasher come with a power cord? If no, does it take a special plug, or will the cord that comes with your installation kit work?

A: It comes with a power cord that plugs into the dishwasher itself, but instead of a wall plug, it has a junction box they expect you to provide either direct electrical connection or wire your own plug into it.

Q: how is the 300 series different from the 800 series

A: The 800 series can feature hidden controls with touch sensitive buttons, water softeners, smartphone connectivity, and the MyWay 3rd rack. Both models feature the same wash system and height adjustment for the top rack.
