Bosch - Evolution 800 Series 24" Tall Tub Built-In Dishwasher - Stainless-Steel

I just installed this unit and so my review for it is excellent. It does what it is supposed to do, well, and very quietly. I replaced another Bosch with this unit, and that lasted only 13 years, so I hope this one makes it a bit longer. There are good selections for cleaning and load size, a time delayed start, and a 'sanitation' mode. Install was straightforward and it is an attractive unit. My only criticisms are about the silverware tray (along the size) - would be better closer to front, and the dish holder slots are a bit small for my dishes.

This is by far the best dishwasher we have ever had. It is easy to load and configure. Our dishes, pots, pans and silverware come out clean and the noise level is minimum. The noise level on the old dishwasher was so great we could not carry on a conversation and had to turn up the TV or music to hear them. It holds a lot of dishes, too.

Easy to install and easy to use. I love it!!! I would definitely buy it all over again!!!! I love not having to wash dishes. I should have bought this a long time ago!!!

Bought this unit for its anti-leak feature as well as its quality. I guess I won't know how well it performs for quite awhile, but after four weeks no issues have surfaced.

Ripped out a 5 year old Miele to put this in. I miss the Miele's ease of loading, but I'm sure that once I get used to it the Bosch will be just great.

We bought this model because it was quieter than almost anything we'd seen and we have hardwood floors everywhere. Quiet matters a lot to us. But after living with it for a few months, we find the racks are difficult to load well, maximizing space. Our old dishwasher had the silverware basket on the door which was easy to access and seemed to leave more room in the machine for dishes. Finally, no matter what setting we choose, we can't seem to get the dishes to dry all the way. There are only a few choices, so I'm sure we've tried all of them.

I bought an LG dishwasher almost 5 years ago and spent a pretty penny on it. The dishwasher worked well until phosphates were taken out of detergents, and was quiet. Unfortunately, towards the end, it broke down several times and under the no-lemon warranty I was able to return the washer for full credit. The top of the line Bosch that I purchased was still less than what I spent on the LG, it cleans better, and does not take as much time. Both products were very quiet. Over time the LG had marred our glasses which was blamed by our repairman on the lack of phosphates in the detergent. The Bosch was able to clean our glasses that had become marred by the LG and they look almost new, using the same detergent that we were using with the LG. If you have the money, I would recommend this dishwasher. I have no opinion regarding the lower priced models, but it appears that Bosch does make a good dishwasher. Only time will tell if my opinion will change.

I had read the reviews about the Bosch Evolution Series dishwashers and the concerns about the dishes not drying. I read the manual and made sure I added rinse aid and used the Extra Dry Heat setting (which is now our default). The dishes came out spotless and dry! We were going to purchase the 500 series but paid a little extra for a higher reduction in sound; it is so quiet! I believe the racks are sturdier and offer more flexibility with this series. Best to do a comparison between the different models to see what works best for you. We couldn't be happier with this purchase; the high ratings for Bosch are justified.
