Bosch - 800 Series 18" Hidden Control Tall Tub Built-In Dishwasher with Stainless-Steel Tub - Stainless steel

I did hours of research before finally deciding on Bosch. Cost was the main factor holding me back, but I'm glad I did it. I waited for a sale and luckily there was a rebate being offered by my local utility for energy star appliances. Also, It came with a power cord and I reused my old water supply line so I didn't need to purchase the install kit. I have a small open floor plan condo so I wanted something quiet--this thing is so quiet, I've literally had to put my ear up to the door to tell it's running. Yes, it has a red laser that shines on the floor, but I wanted reassurance. Features I didn't know I needed but now can't live without: The height-adjustable rack is brilliant! My 9" big-gulp, wine glasses actually stand straight up on the top rack! Constantly adding rinse-aid? The built-in water softener solves that problem as it cuts down on the amount of rinse-aid that's needed per wash. I couldn't be happier with it and highly recommend it.

Had this Bosch a couple of months. Bought it to replace a very old, existing dishwasher in a home I purchased. Was hoping to get a larger model but had to get the smaller one to accommodate other appliances. I’ve been pretty happy with it so far. Being a smaller size, it is difficult to get a lot of dishes into it. Some of my dishes don’t fit very well into the existing tines. I like the built in water softener as the water here in San Antonio is very hard so it helps to clean the dishes well. The operating instructions could be a little better. There are some things that are a little confusing and I don’t feel like the instructions that came with it did a very good job explaining everything. I do like the look of it particularly the hidden buttons. It is very quiet, though the cycles are pretty long at about 2 1/2 hours, but that seems relatively typical these days.

I had a Miele 18” dishwasher for almost 20 years. Worked great until it didn’t and the repair cost didn’t seem worth it. The cost for a new Miele was prohibitive. My sister has a standard size Bosch and loves it. I ordered through Best Buy and was told it would be delivered in 3 weeks. The next day I got a call from Jen/appliance dept @ Best Buy in San Rafael who told me they had an ‘out of box’ Bosch 18” that was ready for pickup at 1/2 the cost. Done and done. My contractor installed it two days later. I very much appreciated Jen going out of her way - great customer service! Have told all my friends about the very ++++ experience with Best Buy. By the way the dishwasher is just as quiet as my old Miele.

Fits a pretty good amount of stuff. Cleans well. Very very quiet during almost the entire cycle. I literally have to put my ear right up to it when I start it to be sure it's even running. Make sure you buy Bosch's dishwasher salt if you want to use it when it arrives. Also be careful not to lose your water testing strips when you open the package. My plumber lost mine and I had to wait a week for new ones to arrive so I could test my water and use the machine.

This is the best dishwasher I have ever had. It is quiet and small, but has the cleaning capability and capacity of a full-size dishwasher. The dishwasher is also simple to use. Quality is unmatched. The stainless steel and handles also easily matches other brands and blends in. Installation through Best Buy was outstanding. If you aren't sure if the quality and capabilities are worth the higher price, it is. You will not be disappointed.

As I'd expect from Bosch, great finish and performance ... plus super quiet. The wash cycle is barely audible. Only when it empties wash water do you really hear it. I would note; however, Best Buy recommended the "Smart Choice - Dishwasher Water Line and Power Cord Kit," which I returned because the appliance comes with power and water connections.

I literally JUST had this delivered and was so excited about my little Bosch but it arrived with water (more than a few drops) and a really bad smell. ARE YOU KIDDING ME, Bosch? I understand it needs to be tested, but who wants to spend $900 for a dishwasher that stinks before you've even used it. Are they not able to dry the thing out before it goes on a ship or truck for a week? When I called Bosch, the response was essentially "That's just how it is. Run it through a wash cycle." Ugh.

This Bosch dishwasher is tall, thin and compact for smaller spaces. Fitted as expected. I think they need more ways to configured the inside esp the bottom rack. I don't feel like it drys the dishes very well though. Obviously the jet dry helps but they never get fully dry.
