Bosch - 800 Series 24" Front Control Built-In Dishwasher with CrystalDry, Stainless Steel Tub, 3rd Rack, 42 dBa - Black

After a couple of years of use now, I couldn't really be any happier with this unit. Actually purchased an open box/floor model at Best Buy, so this one was additionally more affordable. That said, this is by far the best dishwasher I've ever used. I mean...stop rinsing already, this thing actually cleans. Soooo quiet, whisper quiet. Really. Which obviously is about how well insulated it is; several HOURS after finishing a cycle, opening the door lets out just a ton of heat, still...very long after any drying was actually happening via any kind of actual heating. Oh, and lastly, man, does it hold a lot. So very much more than previous, older units I've owned, and really we're talking about the spacing on the lower rack. They're close, but again, doesn't matter...stuff comes out crazy clean. I have been a dishwasher hater my whole life, and this one is a game changer. Yes, I'm far too excited about this, and my Kohler sink and faucet, and my snowblower, and lawn mower, and yes, I perhaps need to get out more. Anyway, love it, highly recommended.

This dishwasher is quiet, cleans dishes well and the adjustable racks are great. The stainless steel interior doesn't hold smells and the removable strainer / filter makes keeping odors away easy.

Still getting to know it. Quiet and seems to work well. Loading the racks is different and we are struggling to adjust .

It’s a Bosch - there’s no better dishwasher on the market. It’s so quiet that you can’t hear it running unless you are right next to it. It is efficient and gets the dishes sparkling clean. This is the first time I’ve had the 3rd shelf and I really like it for small items. The installer from Best Buy was very skilled and had it installed quickly.

Our old dishwasher died, and settled on this which was a higher level model than my previous dishwasher. This is WAY Quieter than my old Whirlpool, and it does a great job of cleaning. Also, the third tray is AWESOME for Asian families like mine - the chopsticks fit nicely there without any fear of falling into the heating element - dishwashing chopsticks wasn't an option with my old unit. The one down side is that being Asian, we use a lot of bowls, and I haven't figured out a great way to place a larger number of bowls.

It is extremely quiet. It cleans very well. The cleaning cycles are pretty long as with most of the current crop of dishwashers. We replaced a Bosch dishwasher which failed after 14 years. That is a pretty good track record so we went with another one. It is expensive, of course, but the low noise level made it worth it to us.

This is a great dishwasher, with lots of room to fit anything you need for it to clean. At a 42 db, my expectation was that I wouldn't be able to tell that it's on from several feet away, but that isn't the case. However, it is very quiet and doesn't impact your ability to talk or concentrate. Most of the sound appears to be coming from the top edge, which doesn't have as wide of a seal as the sides do, so if I add to that seal, I may be able to eliminate most of what little sound this dishwasher creates. The key reason that I moved up to the low end of the Bosch 800 series dishwasher was to get the Crystal Dry feature, since we wash a lot of plastic food storage containers which generally come out wet...especially the covers. After several wash cycles with this dishwasher, I have found that the plastic food storage containers don't come out any drier than they did with my 14 year Kenmore Elite dishwasher. We aren't using the Finish dishwashing pods or rinse agent, which we will try once our current supplies of those items have been used up. Lastly, the top 3rd rack doesn't hold very much when not being used for flatware, so I would have preferred the My Way 3rd rack, but I wasn't willing to go up another few hundred dollars or more to get it. We have never had a 3rd rack, so it does at least provide an option for fitting more into a load.

Our 5-year old Maytag stopped working because of an electronic issue that could not be repaired even after replacing two electronic components. The Maytag bit the bullet. We shopped around for a Bosch, but no one had the 300 or 500 series models in stock due to the pandemic; the 800 series model was our only choice. Best Buy delivered it in 3 days, installed it, and took away the old one. If it took 45 min from start to finish, it took a long time. We are happy with the buying and installation experiences and performance.
