We had a Bosch dishwasher for 10 years and it finally had to be replaced. We did our research and checked reviews, but everyone said they were out and they had no idea when they would have new models. I sat like snoopy playing a vulture as I watched online ready to pounce whenever I saw one. Finally one came up and we grabbed it! It was the 800 model instead of the 300 but we are completely satisfied! It is so quiet we had to put our ear right next to it to make sure it was filling up. The third rack makes it great for my utensils and everything gets so clean! I have black stainless on my other appliances so wish I could have found a model to match, but I am so happy with the clean and quiet it is really a non issue for me. My husband is also in awe. Fabulous machine!

I have owned a number of high end dishwashers over the years. Without a doubt, this Bosch is my all time favorite. It is like an electric car - It is so quiet you literally have to look a the red signal light at the bottom to tell if it is on. The dishes come out immaculate with no spots due to the “Crystal Dry” feature. This is really amazing as I live in an area with unbelievably hard water. My outside house windows are always water-marked. I am so happy I ordered this and was definately worth the 6 week wait.

We recently built a custom home and my previous home had had a Bosh dishwasher. My wife was complaint about the noise and how much she missed her Bosh. I bought this for Mothers Day and she said it’s the best gift ever, ha. Anyway she is very happy with it and the only way we know it’s running is the light bouncing off the floor.

I previously had Kitchen Aid dishwashers which I enjoyed greatly but thought the cleaning power could be a little better so I decided to give this Bosch a try since I hear rave reviews about how much better the European cleaning cycle is. Well, its not any better from what I've used so far but drying performance is definitely better. Overall though the competitors seem to have caught up and well surpassed the Bosch while they seem to have not changed their design at all. Definitely not a bad dishwasher but I feel there are better models out there. Pros: - Exterior door fields really sturdy and nice to open/close. This is probably the best part about this dishwasher. - Zeolite "CrystalDry" means I don't have to worry about bottom plastic items melting. I can put plastics on any rack! - 40 dBA this thing IS silent and more quiet than my previous 44 dBa KitchenAid KDTM384E (another home) Neutral: - Roller rack design is VERY sticky/rough and hard to slide in and out compared to competitor glide in/outs. I noticed it in the store demo models too but was hoping it was a demo issue. Nope its exact same in my brand new one. After 3 months of usage this has loosened up a bit. - Stemware loading pattern is not obvious with 3rd rack installed. Cons: - "drying" I still get puddles of water on top of cups so it doesn't get it all out. - No interior lighting for a $1500 dishwasher. - This the highest end model with the new "3rd rack design" but racking layout / tines is okay but feel it can be better optimized when you have a variety of tall/medium bottles. - Lacks any type of bottle wash - Washer spray pattern is lacking. Top spray is just a little spigot with an impeller type spray, middle spray only sprays up with few holes in the bottom. Bottom spray pattern is the same as middle. All spray arms feel cheap. - You have to manually turn on and off the dishwasher at the start of a cycle or at the end, vs. just pressing a cycling letting it finish and closing. Otherwise it beeps at you constantly. What is this the 90s? - My parents has a early 2000s Bosch 300 series model and its literally the same thing, I'd expect this out of a $300-500 dishwasher not a 2020 $1500 model. - No "Finish light" only has a red light when it is working. Wish it was a dual light design (Red for working, White or Blue for finished cycle). There's no way to tell that its done. - 21st century and no WiFi, no IoT connectivity. Every other appliance in my home has WiFi, but not this. Come-on Bosch.

Tp preface this review, we had to replace a dishwasher that was less than 5 years old that we purposely put a warranty on as we bought it as an open box price item and received less than stellar performance from it. The warranty allowed to replace into this much better dishwasher from which we expect superior performance that we wanted in the first place. Moral of the story: start with a Bosch.
