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

This is my first a Bosch dishwasher, however I have seen this model before that other people have purchased and they all love it

Owned a Thermador dishwasher prior to this purchase. I was very happy with the Thermador owned it for 13 years till it malfuntioned. I was very anxious about purchasing the Bosch over another Theramdor however I read that the ownership now is by the same company for both Bosch and Thermador. The Bosch takes a little longer to clean and does not dry as well however the savings on the Bosch over the Thermador makes those issues seem small. like the storage better on this new unit as well.

There were enough reviews talking about the dead control panel upon arrival and I should have taken heed. Mine arrived DOA. It actually did come on and tell me that I needed to add Rinse Aid (or Salt). I added the Rinse Aid. The machine made some noise, apparently pumping rinse aid somewhere then the lighted rinse aid message went out. Nothing else ever happened. Not able to reset. Not able to turn on. Not able to do anything. The Touch Control Panel just does not work. I had another issue, too. This unit arrived with a LOT of moisture inside and it STUNK horridly. I mean it stunk of mold inside so bad that I felt like vomiting from the stench. I assume that Bosch did a test run at their factory and that the units retain some water during shipping but that mold smell was absolutely beyond acceptable. (I have attached a photo of the inside as it was unwrapped to show all the moisture - lucky for all readers I cannot capture and share the smell. Notice all the moisture even on the packaging.) I had intended to run a sanitary cleaning cycle before using the dishwasher with actual dishes to see if the smell would go away but since it cannot even be operated, back to Best Buy it will go! What an disappointment!

It is the quietest ever, the quietest one that I could find from any store here in Hawaii. Seriously, all you will hear is the water draining from your sink! It has the lowest decibels without taking out a mortgage. Yes, it is still a bit pricey, but, with 0% financing, it makes sense, especially in my house where it will get used often, even at 4am when my husband decides to run it! The red light that shines on the floor to tell everyone that it is ON is genius. HOWEVER, it takes a college degree and some luck to understand the manual to learn how to use that darn thing! The manual is not model specific, so some of those 'instructions' do not apply to this model! Why couldnt the buttons add on the letters used in the manual? Nothing is intuitive other than the On/Off and Start, which doubles for Reset. The other buttons double for A,B,C function keys. YIKES. I was so frustrated, endured cycles of nothing but soapy damp dishes for days and close to returning it. Did not know nor was told that RinseAid is REQUIRED, which is also an additional cost. It says you can program it to not use RinseAid, but then it increases the run time and DOES NOT rinse well. Translation: RinseAid is REQUIRED if you want clean and dry dishes. It also still smells weird, but the smell is either slowly disappearing or we are just getting used to it. It gets insanely hot; we already melted off the covering of a coffee travel container. Luckily, it was not one of our favorites. So, not a honeymoon, but once we took a few deep breaths, we got it going and happy with it. Perhaps Best Buy should send a bestbuy technician when it gets installed to train the new owners. Now THAT would be some amazing customer service. And throw in a sample of Rinse Aid please! No one has it unless they already have a dishwasher that requires one. So, then its an extra trip to the market to get a bottle for that first run. Sigh. Then, within a day of install, the bottom panel fell off. Sigh again. The guy who Best Buy sent to install it is so busy we are still waiting for his return. My husband said he would fix it and I said NO, we paid for installation, so we are getting the installation. Sigh again. So many bumps in the road to dishwasher nirvana. Still, it is amazingly quiet and cleans well, once we figured out how to use it!

I was wary of the Bosch because of the"bad" reviews it had regarding not being able to dry dishes. I found if I used the auto and sanitize cycles as recommended with jet dry the dishes do dry. The issue I have is its difficult to reset the buttons (not just an intuitive off/on to reset. And it has some child proof stuff so u actually have to read the manual or be very frustrated Love the third top rack

Dishwasher by far has been the best dishwasher that we have had. I previously had a Kenmore Elite, and than a Maytag, both with stainless steel tub. The Bosch has done a better job than both in getting everything clean. Also like how dishes are arranged in here better than the other two, and the third shelf is nice.

This unit replaced a 6 month old Samsung - Waterwall 24 unit. So my review covers the differences between the two. The key reason I choose both were energy efficiency, low acoustic feedback, 3 row rack. Both are extremely quiet, both are energy star compliant. Aside from my experiences with Samsung, the key reason I chose this unit was that it had strong reliability records on Consumer Reports. It cleans well. As other reports have pointed out, its drying of plastics is a little less impressive, but as said that was not a decision factor for me. Efficiency, Acoustics, 3 Rack and a better mean time before failure were. In addition, this unit does not have any IoT capabilities. I'm glad it does not. My previous Samsung had and it was a jarring user experience. I'm very technical and I just never used it. There were extra button press and apart from getting a notification that your dishes where washed, it was basically useless. The only IoT capability I'm looking for is a dishwasher that can load and unload itself!
