Customers are pleased with the 800 Series 24" Top Control Built-In Dishwasher's quiet operation, excellent cleaning performance, and the added convenience of a third rack. Many appreciate its large capacity and ease of use, along with the overall quality of the appliance. However, some users found the control panel challenging to learn and had mixed experiences with the CrystalDry feature. A few also noted that the wash cycles are longer than expected.
Eighteen months in, we have totally enjoyed this dishwasher and have had no issues with it. We especially love how quiet it is and the very top rack for silverware. My only critique is that with the countertop, we can't see how much time it has left because the panel is hidden by the edge of the countertop. It has a few quiet beeps when it is done. We sometimes run the 60 minute cycle because it is already getting full and we'll have a bunch more dishes after the meal is done. We do periodically fill up the rinse agent when the indicator gives the notification. Generally everything gets clean even without rinsing beforehand through we dump food waste in organic recycling container before putting the dish in the dishwasher. Occasionally, we'll see a bowl that had caked on stuff (like chili) and was in a position that it still has specks of food on it and we'll put it through the dishwasher again. With three teenagers, after I prepare dinner, I will often run the dishwasher (with breakfast and lunch dishes and the dishes I got dirty making dinner). Then we will unload it after supper and then run it again overnight with the supper and evening snack dishes. I don't put nonstick pans through it but I often put glass cooking pans, cooling racks, and baking pans in there if I have room because I like to do the least hand washing that I have to. I also put all our kitchen knives through it because I don't want to wash them by hand even though the knife manufacturer recommends it (but yes then I need to periodically sharpen them because they get dull but they would get dull anyway). My point is that with three teenagers and not going out to eat often but making our own meals at home, this dishwasher is a great help.

We replaced our old Bosch dishwasher that served us for 15 years and was still working but because of the age decided it was time. The choice was easy another Bosch, this time the 800 series with the towel handle. All we can say is Bosch hit a home run with the 800 series. It is very quiet and it cleans the dishes and silverware leaving them like new. It also cleans plastic just as good. We are really impressed with the drying of the Bosch 800 series as it really does dry plastic as good as they say it does. After you are using the dishwasher I recommend the door be left cracked open so it does not get musty. When you leave the door cracked open it allows the dishwasher to breathe. You will need to press the off indicator so it does not flash the display on the top of the door. We were happy with our 15 year old Bosch dishwasher but this new 800 series is even better. The install was easy and straight forward. One word of caution is Bosch uses a 3/4 inch water intake fitting, think of your garden hose. You will need to purchase a 90 degree dishwasher elbow at a hardware store. You need the 3/8 inch X 3/4 inch dishwasher elbow. Once you have the dishwasher elbow the install is easy and you can do it in about 30 minutes. We highly recommend the Bosch 800 series dishwasher.
