Customer Ratings & Reviews

We just replaced the original Maytag dishwasher that was installed when the house was built in 2003. It never cleaned properly and recently had been leaking. It just had so many issues. I've had my eyes on Bosch 800 for a while, but I've been waiting. If you can wait, every a few months, Bosch offers free installation at Best Buy. So, we finally took the plunge and became $900 poorer. We just completed our first run, I loaded a pot that my mom made soup in 2 days ago and it had a ring of stain around it. I also loaded some pans and our regular plates and bowls and cups. 2 hour later, oh boy, that pot came out sparkling clean!!! I'm very very impressed. So here is the breakdown. Pros: - Cleans really really well, no need to pre-rinse. - Uses less than 3 gallons of water, other dishwasher uses 6+ gallons - Has 3rd rack, and all of them are adjustable easily - Super quiet at 42db Cons: - Built in panel means you don't know how long until it's done - Bosch has no heating element, so we have to keep door propped open after load is done. Otherwise, you will notice a pool of water on the inside of the dishwaser. - Option to do half load so you don't have to wait to pile up your dishes Best Buy used in-house Geek Squad agent for installation instead of 3rd party contractor. Manny was helpful and he shared some good tips. if you're unsure because this model is new for 2017, get it and you won't be disappointed. Absolutely the best out there!

Our new Bosch Series 800 Dishwasher surpasses all of our expectations. Though we were hesitant to spend $899 for a dishwasher, we have no regrets. The volume of dishes this machine holds was a big surprise. The top 3rd rack makes a big difference as well as how well the racks store the dishes with tines that flip up or down as needed. At 42 dba, the machine is so quiet you only know its running when the machine drains into the sink plumbing. This is our 2nd Bosch dishwasher. This machine is even better than the first in terms of drying the dishes and storage. And like all Bosch dishwashers, it has no exposed heating element that can melt or damage plasticware. Best Buy folks were great as always as well. I installed this machine myself, and was planning on reusing the original hose connections, but discovered the new dishwashers have a Garden Hose Style Connector for the water line, instead of a 3/8" brass fitting. In returning to Best Buy to buy the adapter, the sales personnel gave me a hose kit with the adapter at no extra charge. So great customer service on top of a great product makes for a great purchase and experience.

We've wanted to replace our very noisy dishwasher with something a lot quieter for some time now. Our house is open-plan; you can't run the dishwasher and watch a movie at the same time. Our old dishwasher finally died and we started looking. Another family member has a Bosch 800 series and we've read lots of good things about Bosch so we started our search there and decided that it really was the best choice. How quiet is it? The 800 has an info light that shines a solid red circle on the floor when it's running so that you'll know it's running. It's THAT quiet. There are some points in the cycle that you are more likely to hear some minor sound (like when it's draining) but the sound is never intrusive; turn it on and it fades away into the background. This is a great option for open plan homes. Convenience - The 800 comes with the a flatware rack (top), rack-o-matic and cup shelves for the middle rack and no exposed heating element. Both middle and bottom racks (I think) have adjustable tines that in addition to the fixed tines (the bottom rack for sure) The top rack is a shallow rack for flatware - an alternative to the traditional flatware basket (which is also included), I find the top rack far more convenient to use than the basket (which sits in a cupboard somewhere). There are small tines to support laying each piece of silverware on edge and separate from it's neighbors which helps ensure that they all get clean. Using the top rack for flatware instead of the basket also frees up space for more dishes in the bottom rack. The cup racks in the middle rack let you stack short items like tea cups, ramekins or similar; put some on the rack, fold down the shelf and place another row above the first. The shelves fold up if you need room for tall items instead. The rack-o-matic feature for the middle rack allows you to raise and lower the middle rack. The bottom and middle racks have different features and you'll likely find a particular height setting that works best for your dishes (I did) although it's really easy to adjust the rack as needed. The 800's heating element is tucked away in the guts of the machine somewhere not sitting exposed at the bottom of the tub waiting to melt anything that falls into it's maw. I put dishes where it's most convenient and don't worry about top rack vs bottom rack. We've been very pleased with the 800's cleaning results - it consistently does a great job of getting the dishes clean. Per the instructions, we don't rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher; we just scrape off any big pieces of food and put them right in the dishwasher. NOTE: The quietest dishwashers (across all brands) don't include a food grinder because these are noisy. They have a filter to catch big pieces of food instead. We were a little concerned about having a filter- another thing to maintain. But our family member who owns an 800 said they rarely if ever need to empty/rinse out the filter. After a month or so, that's been our experience as well; scrape the big pieces off before you put the dishes in the dishwasher and there won't be anything for the filter to do (FYI: the filter is permanent - not a consumable item). One observation - There has been a small (but very acceptable) learning curve for loading this dishwasher. The racks aren't like racks in other dishwashers I've used; there are lots of different ways to load dishes - especially with the adjustable tines, cup rack and rack-o-matic. After you've run a few loads, you'll learn to take advantage of the 800's flexibility. We are really pleased with the Bosch 800.

This dishwasher is amazing and I am so happy we purchased it. It is a standard size, making installation easy. The appliance is SUPER quiet and sleek. It looks great matched with our Samsung appliances. All of my dishes come out sparkling clean and bone dry. I will never be able to live without a third top rack again; the best feature ever! The only small negative I would give, is that the programming is not super intuitive. The touch buttons can sometimes not be as responsive as hoped, but this could just be me not being used to them. And I also haven't figured out what all is necessary if the dishwasher needs to be opened mid-cycle (i.e close and it resumes, do I have to push resume, etc). So I need to do some Google-ing, but in general I am very pleased with my purchase.

Great cleaning and super quiet. Easy to load and the 3rd row fits small items nicely.

This is outstanding dishwasher. It's extremely quiet. Sometimes I can't even tell if its running. It's very solid and well built. The third rack is convenient for cooking utensils like spatulas, etc. It gets dishes clean, even when heavily loaded.

Works great! Cleans soiled dishes. Loading dishes per manual is a must!! Once you get the hang of the buttons it's very easy to use. No bad smells as on other reviews. Only a new smell at the beginning. Almost TOO QUIET! Love, love, love the 3rd rack!! We use it all the time.

I bought this to replace a different brand dishwasher that had multiple issues. This dishwasher is quiet, holds a ton of dishes, and gets them clean. The third rack is amazing! Perfect for long utensils, liquid medicine cups, etc. The only thing I don’t care for is the fold down part on the top rack - it seems to get in the way of cups going in.

Works like a charm. Love the utensil 3rd rack! I would recommend....it is very quiet too.

this dishwasher is very quiet and works very well the 3rd tray is good

Bought an open box from Best Buy - like new and significant savings. This is my 2nd Bosch (moved so had to get another), and I wouldn't recommend any other dishwasher. The dishes are always clean, and the dishwasher is so quiet you can only hear the water draining, nothing else. I opted to pay up to get the capacitive touch controls, for longevity and ease of cleaning. I really like the 3rd rack on top, and adjustment options for the other 2 racks. Our previous Bosch had a recall on the electric cord, and they made all the arrangements and someone came out and replaced it, so happy with customer service also (though I had no problems actually).

Love this dishwasher. Super sleek. Extremely quiet. Has multiple settings including and express wash that takes 1 hr. Racks have several options for arranging different size items. 3rd rack is awesome for long, flat utensils. Red light on floor reminds all that machine is in use since you cannot hear it working. Love it!

Super Quiet,cleans very well, love the third rack!

This dishwasher is great. It's really super quiet. Sometimes I forget that's it's on and have opened it not remembering to check the indicator light. The only thing we have to get used to is the drying element. Sometime a few odd items are a little wet but basic dishes are normally dry. Our previous unit had a dryer at the bottom and this one uses a different method to dry. It does have an extra drying option but we haven't had a need for it too much. The 3rd rack is great for extra silverware and utinsels if you want to remove the utensil basket. I thought I would be concerned about not having a food grinder but I do not miss it at all. We have had the unit for 1 month now and we did not have food in the filter.

Bought this dishwasher over a years ago and have not had one issue. Extremely quite when running and have repeatedly open it not knowing it was running. Recommend the finnish dish detergent and rinse aid as we don’t experience cleaning issues or water spots. The third shelf was a great addition for us. Touch panel could be a little more sensitive but you won’t have to worry about the panel falling apart. It’s like they built it to last! One of the best washer I’ve spent money on…

Quiet, quick, easy! Took me a bit to get used to since I didn't have one for almost 20 years - but I forgot how much water they save, how little energy they use & how well they clean. This model does not have the option to move the silverware tray to the door to make room, but it does have the 3rd rack up top. I also think I would have preferred one that pops open upon being done, but it's not a deal breaker. I definitely recommend this item & am so happy with our purchase.

It is awesome! so quiet and sleek. the third shelf is great for all those bigger utensils and everything comes out so clean!!

This thing is so quiet you almost can’t tell it’s running. I love the adjustable top rack and the third rack for small items and long utensils. In my opinion, Bosh is the only acceptable choice when I comes to dishwashers.

Really happy with this choice after a lot of research. Cleans very well in Auto cycle and is best to use the extra dry and sanitization cycle. Third rack for utensils and silverware allowed a lot more room for dishes, large bowls and pots/pans. Everything's sparkling clean and it's truly very quiet. Love that there's no premium since stainless steel is the norm for such appliances these days. Goes perfectly with my stainless steel kitchen design

After reading many reviews, we decided on the Bosch 800 series dishwasher. It is incredibly quiet, and the red light reflected on the floor is a good reminder that it's on. The 3rd rack is nice for spatulas and other flat-ish tools, but not much else. We had read some users didn't like the height of the center rack, but that was super-easy to adjust. Cons: Since it doesn't use a heating element to dry, even when using the "sanitize" feature, glasses (around the rim) and food storage containers aren't completely dry, even if they sit overnight. The utensil basket cross-tines are curved, so some random slots are deeper than others, which could have been done better. Overall happy with the dishwasher.
