    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!!

    So Quiet! Only wish it had a "disposer".

    Love it! As per our norm we did the install ourselves. Our setup not the easiest but it worked out great. It cleans nicely, I favorited the 60" with customized settings which runs 1'19". It does a great job cleaning everything. Drying, particularly any plastics not so great but I don't have much of that so not a big concern for me. I wish I did not have to clean out the trap regularly to avoid poor performance or smells. At the regular price point that should not be the case. I go an excellent deal on mine so I can look past it. Installation notes- had to connect to WiFi to get it working, it's a must. Should be notated that if you only have 5ghz you'll need to separate out your WiFi so you have a 2.4ghz band for it. Seems to be the norm for many appliances so once you search the web how to do that keep it just for appliances, like robovacs etc... It slowed our Wi-Fi in the beginning as I did not set all our other devices specifically to the other band but once I figured it all out everything was great. Not an easy install in that respect if you aren't at all savvy in the electronic age. My husband relies solely on the control panel, and I operate solely from the phone app. It usually defaults to the last used program and sometimes that resets or something and you need the app to get back to what you had programmed as a favorite, at least that has happened to me a couple of times over this past year. The WiFi feature enabling may be the biggest drawback for some but if you just want to use the 2 hour plus auto mode it will not be a big deal at all and of course it really is so quiet you will hardly ever recognize its running, even when standing next to 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.
