QuestionThe answer given did not answer the question I asked! All dishwashers have at least one dry cycle - my current one has both a heated drying cycle and an air dry cycle and I want to know if the Bosch has both as I don't want just a heated dry cycle.
Asked 8 years ago by kat71.
- Answer Hi there, thank you for your question. Bosch dishwashers only offer a heated dry cycle, however it’s not the standard heated dry cycle. All Bosch dishwashers use condensation drying, which is a safer, cleaner and more energy efficient process.

QuestionDoes this dishwasher have an air dry cycle?
Asked 8 years ago by Kat71.
- Answer This model does have a drying cycle as well as an Extra Dry setting (which should be used with the Sanitize setting) to extend the drying cycle. It does dry the dishes very well except for a few glasses and other items that have a lip on the bottom. Water sometimes doesn't evaporate for these items. The key to best drying for this dishwasher is to let the dishwasher stay closed until the door is cold. Then you know that the dishes are as dry as they are going to get.

Asked 8 years ago by leah.

QuestionWe are very happy with the cleaning however even with the sanitize and extra dry our dishes are still very wet. Could you further detail what trouble shooting I could do to solve the problem? Maybe a covered vent or additional attachment?
Asked 7 years ago by Jkidd5555.
- Answer I previously had a Bosch dishwasher that dried everything in its path. The Bosch dishwasher we purchased recently does not have a heating element for drying, subsequently the first time it was used was alarming. We were not made aware of this “change” in performance and in all honesty, we are deeply disappointed in the performance. Even using the rinsing agent, the door when opened is wet. This may very well be the way Bosch is making things today, but when your buying a product you’ve had great success with, it is the sales persons responsibility to make you aware of operational changes. My expectation was that it would perform like the other, and it is not even close.

QuestionWhat type of material is this handle....color? Looks white....?....will it stain with normal use?
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
This question was asked about the related product: Bosch - 800 Series 24" Bar Handle Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub - White
- Answer A magnet does not stick to it, so it is not metal. It is a very smooth, slick surface possibly made of plastic. The handle is the same color as the washer itself..white. I doubt that it will stain as it does not appear to be porous at all. We have only had this dishwasher for a couple of weeks but love it. It is extremely quiet, holds a lot of dishes, and does an excellent job of cleaning. Note that you must use a drying agent with every wash. Without the drying agent your dishes will be wet even if they sit overnight.
