Bosch - 800 Series 24" Bar Handle Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub - Stainless Steel

We recently installed the new Bosch 800 series for 2017 (the new one with the myway rack). Replaced a brand new kitchenaide because it leaked after 8 cycles and the door wouldn't close all the way. The Bosch is so far a home run! Dishes are clean and after adjusting the rinse aide setting to medium, they are dry at the end of the cycle as are the tub walls. The first time we ran it the walls were still wet but admittedly we may have opened it before the drying time was over, we aren't sure. The next 3 cycles were fine and everything was dry and able to be put away that evening. We did not use the extra/intensive dry option either. Accessing the settings is a bit of a learning curve but once you have everything set there's really no need to change anything. We like the myway 3rd rack way better than the competitors bu also the previous Bosch 800 series. The new 3rd rack is deeper and can accept small bowls, Tupperware, lids for my protein skaters, etc. it's not just a place to throw silverware and odd utensils like the others out there. With the top rack lowered, we can fit larger glasses, bottles, and turvis cups,,etc and there is still clearance on the bottom for large plates. On the kitchenaide the jets would hit the plates if we lowered the top rack. The other nice thing is the silverware rack. The holes are are large and able to fit untensils with larger handles, like the ones out toddler uses. The kitchenaide was annoying because they were all different size holes so the butter knifes would never fit and it was like a puzzle trying to get it all in. Loading is so much quicker. Overall there are many configurations of tines, racks, etc that we can get a large dinner party mess in there or only have to run it 2 times a week for our small family of 4. Plenty of room! Be aware that the Bosch requires the use of a supplied junction box installed in an adjacent cabinet as they use a power cord from the unit to the junction box. It's a European thing - there is no direct hardware to the dishwasher. My only gripe is that there is still a tiny bit of water in the sump after cycles, but it's been like that with the last 3 dishwashers I've owned so I'm beginning to think it's supposed to be that way. I've read that the new units pump a little water back in to keep the seals from drying out. It's clean water so I know the unit drains everything out. Overall we are extremely pleased so far. Time will tell but even the installers said it was one of the best on the market without spending $2500. Excuse the dirty dishes in the pictures lol

When my old and frequently used (at least once a day) Bosch diswasher finally met its demise, I first purchased the kitchenaid rated the best dishwasher by consumer reports. That was a huge mistake and luckily I was able to return it and go back to a Bosch. The Bosch is much quieter, and my dishes fit better, but most importantly it does a better job washing and drying. The quality of this Bosch is hands down superior to the other dishwashers I researched. For example when installing on an unlevel floor there is a side-to-side and front-to-back adjustment mechanism (I haven't seen front-to-back before). The inside is well configured and easy to use. I was interested in some of the features available on other brands (i.e. bottle washer on GE model, waterwall, stormwash by Samsung) but the functionality of the great 3rd rack of this model won out in my purchasing decision. And I haven't been disappointed. Although I am able to alleviate the middle rack bottleneck by utilizing the 3rd rack to run the dishwasher less frequently, will note highly dirty items don't always come out clean if placed on the 3rd rack (which in my opinion is reasonable). Overall the diswasher has done a fantastic job with its primary functions of washing and drying (including plastics). Also, my plates and bowls fit on the bottom much better than any of the other dishwashers I tried (brought my dishes to the store to test the configuration of the different brands).

Super quiet, we love our 3rd rack. Even though there is not drying mode, dishes come out of the dishwasher pretty much dry. If there are cups or something that can keep the water, yes - you will get a little bit of water in there. Overall solid build.

Easy to use, so quiet you barely know it's on! Worth every penny!

I recently purchased and waited two weeks for the "top of the line Bosch" dishwater. immediately upon installation and after the first wash cycle the E15 water tap error came on. Unfortunately this error will not allow you to shut power off. I had to go to the breaker and turn off power from there. After reaching best Buy there response was (after coming immediately to look at it) was that it needs to be returned and I have to wait two weeks. Now, I am down for two weeks without a dishwasher and there is no escalation path a customer can take to get a priority response but to wait 2 weeks! I have to wait, hopefully the next Bosch dishwasher is not a lemon like this one and then I will never buy another product from Best Buy again. They lost an Elite Plus customer because they couldn't make good on a product installation.

We had problems with the door closing properly. We also did not like the bar sticking out. This is a real quiet machine if it works properly.

VERY GOOD AND QUIET MACHINE (39 DB) IF DOOR CLOSES PROPERLY. WE HAVE HAD TWO (2) BROKEN DOORS ON TWO (2) BRAND NEW MACHINES. wHY??

After owning the KitchenAid KDTM404ESS for just shy of a month, it was clear I needed to switch to another brand. The KitchenAid did not clean my silverware well at all. Best Buy was great with the return, totally pain free! Now I have the Bosch 800 Series with the MyWay racks. The third rack up top is the best! I cannot believe how much I can put up there, especially compared to the KitchenAid, where I could put nothing but flat Tupperware lids! All the dishes come out clean, but not necessarily dry, even with selecting the extra dry cycle. I also like the quick 10-minute rinse option...very helpful.
