  • The Flexible 3rd Rack provides a versatile space for utensils

    The Flexible 3rd Rack has expandable wings that easily lower to accommodate more of your deeper items. Meanwhile adjustable tines let you customize the rack’s loading space to fit awkward or bulky utensils.

    Precisely engineered detergent tray holds detergent tabs in place for a dedicated spray jet to directly dissolve them, preventing buildup for a deeper clean.

    RackMatic easily adjusts to three different heights and up to nine separate rack positions, allowing taller items like stemware to fit in the middle rack while leaving room for pots and pans below.

  • Create room for bulky items with FlexSpace Tines

    The FlexSpace Tines let you fold down every other tine in one simple step, so it’s easier to fit your largest, bulkiest items. It helps to hold pots and pans upright, leaving more room for your other dishes.

    Bosch 800 Series TRULY Whisper Quiet

    We bought a Bosch 300 in our other house. We liked the dishwasher, but as things and technology goes, bigger is better, right? YES!!! We just bought the Bosch 800 series and it is soooo quiet, I’m glad there is a little red light that shines onto the floor that signals it’s on and running. It takes time getting used to how to pack your dishwasher: silverware up top with spatula or whatever in the flat tray. If stuff does not fit there, use the extra basket. We are a house of 6 and when we have company, this thing is always running. I have 2 midnight bakers and the fact that the upper or middle tray is adjustable via the side brackets is pure bonus! Tilt it, level it out, raise it, lower it. I can fit cookie sheets, pans, mixing bowls, etc. I’m particular with placement. I place a plate, skip a row, insert next plate, and repeat. I do try to not overload it because it really gets things clean. The previous dishwasher in this house (not a Bosch) left a gritty residue on the plates, cups, etc. This dishwasher, I was amazed by how clean everything feels. We stick to FINISH Powerball Ultimate. We use FINISH Jet-Dry. It’s always been the go-to for Bosch. I have no regrets with this purchase. BOSCH 800 series is truly whisper quiet, I mean none of us hear it. I had Best Buy install and that went perfectly too! It’s been 1 month and all is well. In my other house, the 300 is at least 7+ years old. Still works but not as quiet as the 800. I spoke to family & friends who own an 800 series and theirs are 7+ years old and they still like it and are happy with their selection. That was what firmed my decision. I am so glad we bought this model. If it’s remotely in your price range, buy it!!

    this Dishwasher running very quiet

    I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Best Buy for their exceptional customer service. Their flexibility in allowing me to reschedule the delivery date twice (my contractor completed my kitchen floor three months later) has been greatly appreciated. I am particularly impressed with this dishwasher; it is so quiet that I won't notice it is running without the red light projected onto the floor. The pots and pans are exceptionally clean and shiny, and there are no water spots on the glass or silverware. Additionally, all three racks are capable of accommodating various arrangements and height adjustments. The Home Connect BOSCH App is easy to navigate and allow me to remotely control some functions and monitor my dishwasher. The technician arrived on schedule, install the Dishwasher and go thru all the functions, answer all my questions of this Dishwasher.

    “Forget the rest” “Buy from Best”

    After scouring through what seemed like endless dishwasher reviews and consulting with a friend with years in the plumbing and hvac business, our sites were set on the Bosch 800 series. The cycle options, adjustable racks, third flatware rack, and low noise level rating also helped in the decision to make the purchase. Since the installation of our new Bosch dishwasher and having used it quite often especially after a load of holiday dinner dishes and pans, we couldn’t be happier with the cleaning and drying results. The red LED light that shines on the floor when the dishwasher is on is a plus! Otherwise it would be hard to tell if it was running. It’s that quiet.

    My First Bosch Product

    Very pleased with the performance of the Bosch 800 Series. I love the Crystal Dry feature. Our dishes come out completely clean and DRY. In addition, it is super quiet and perfect for our open kitchen/great room experience. I'd feel comfortable recommending this to my friends and family.

    Quiet and Efficient, But with Some Minor Quirks

    Bosch 800 Series 24" Top Control Smart Built-In Stainless Steel Tub Dishwasher with Flexible 3rd Rack, 42dBA - Stainless Steel I've been using the Bosch 800 Series dishwasher for a little while now, and overall, it's a solid performer. The cleaning power is excellent – it does a great job of making dishes spotless, even with tough grime. The noise level is impressive at 42dBA, making it one of the quieter models out there. However, I do have a couple of small gripes. The storage capacity is good, but not quite great. The third rack is a nice feature for utensils and smaller items, but I still find myself wishing for a bit more flexibility in terms of how things fit in the lower rack. One design quirk that stands out is the door – it’s either fully open or fully closed with no in-between state. This can be a little annoying when you’re trying to load dishes and don’t want the door wide open. Also, I wish the finished cycle light stayed on, rather than going off after a few minutes. Overall, it's a high-quality, reliable dishwasher with a few minor drawbacks. If quiet operation and great cleaning performance are your top priorities, this model should be a great choice.
