Our 40 year old dishwasher died so we travelled to Best Buy to get another. We are Total members, so it's worth it to us for the added warranty we get through the Total program to purchase through Best Buy.
Dishwasher does a good job cleaning. You have the option to control the power of the wash by zones, which is cool if you have pots and pans to wash.
The racks that hold the items are all slanted, which sometimes makes it difficult to load the dishwasher with items that do not fit into those rack spaces like mixing bowls or larger storage containers.
This dishwasher is very quiet. They have an LED light that shines on the floor to let you know the dishwasher is working. Unless water is draining out into the sink drain, I would have no idea it was even running.
The one big negative is the drying capabilities. If you run the normal program, the dishwasher doesn't use heat to dry. The inside of the dishwasher is stainless, and it cools off quicker than the dishes so the condensate forms on the side walls and runs down to drain out. This is okay for anything not plastic, but in our experience anything on the 3rd row is completely wet when the cycle ends (about 2.5 hrs), and anything plastic is still wet. We've tried everything we can, including selecting "Sanitize" function, but I would still say it's not great. It's tough to wait 2.5 hours and still have to dry some of the items you're taking out.
If the lack of drying doesn't bother you I would recommend getting the Bosch. Otherwise, I would lean towards Kitchenaid.

This is a great dishwasher. It is solidly built and almost silent when it is running. Holds a lot of dishes and silverware. Get everything quite clean. Replacing a 15-year-old Bosch that just died.

So far, we really like our new dishwasher. It's very quiet and it does an excellent job of cleaning our dishes. I have mixed feelings about the lowest rack. I don't mind having the silverware and utensils on the very top, but by not using the basket that comes with the dishwasher for the silverware, we're left with a big, awkward space in the bottom rack. If we use the basket, we're left with a very top rack that doesn't hold much because it's very shallow. I don't want to take off a full star for that, but it's definitely a design flaw that Bosch should consider in future models.

Burning odor and rusty knives
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
We purchased this dishwasher in August 2023. Since the first day, the dishwasher has emitted a burning odor that occurs at approximately the same point in each use/cycle. The odor persists even a t the end of the cycle, when the door is opened and dishes are unloaded. We had a Bosch certified repair tech come and check out the machine; they could not find any problems with the machine, and he “reassured” us that the dishwasher would not catch on fire. Also, the dishwasher consistently leaves food particles and rusty marks on knives. Supposedly you can load the dishwasher without pre-rinsing; but we have to examine every knife as we unload and either hand wash or clean with steel wool to remove the rust stains. The machine otherwise cleans and dries well and is quiet during operation. However, never again will I buy a Bosch dishwasher

I have previously looked at dishwashers and shied away from Bosch due to the price. The old saying "you get what you pay for" is very true in this case. The dishwasher gets my dishes so much cleaner than my old dishwasher, and it's whisper quiet. It's so quiet the include a red indicator light to show when it is running, otherwise you would never know. The dishwasher was easy to pair with the Bosch app. Now I can change cycle settings and start my dishwasher through the app if I like. It can even be paired with Amazon Alexa or Google! Best Buy was offering a deal that included free delivery and free installation. Once you factor in the different payment and financing options offered, I couldn't turn down the offer.

Almost silent. Great interior layout that holds at least 1/3 more dishes than it's predecessor (not a Bosch). The standard wash setting cleans the dirtiest dishes, no more pre-rinsing. We are very pleased.

We're very pleased with the dishwaser! Incredibly quiet; does a very good job cleaning the dishes; easy to load; dishes come out dry.
The only thing I'm displeased about is when we were researching dishwasher and we asked the BestBuy sales rep about extended warranties, they did NOT tell us about the extended warranty Bosch offered, only about the BestBuy extended warranty.

Not a Gimmick, PowerControl Spray Arm is Awesome

Bought this to replace a 5 year old GE that died. My old washer was ok, but it is very noticeable how much better the Bosch 800 is. First it is very quiet, can barely hear it running standing next to it. The dishes come out are very clean, the racking options are nice as I am able to fit a wide variety of dishware all at one. The power control spray arm is not a gimmick and is very useful. It is nice being able to put heavily soiled pots and pans in one or more of the 4 zone, dishes in any other zone, and customize each of the 4 zones to more aggressively wash the bakeware but be gentle on regular dishes all in the same load. Also since there is no exposed heating element on the bottom, dishwasher safe plastics can go on any rack without getting melted. The crystal dry I would say works very well but is not perfect. My only concern is the door latch, I am not sure how long that will hold up over time, but since it is a latch hopefully it is simple replacement if needed in the future. Overall had this dishwasher for about 2 months and very pleased with its performance. It seems like I can load more dishes, including a wider variety of pans and bakeware, into a single cycle than my old dishwasher and everything comes out very clean.

I like my new Bosch dishwasher. This Bosch dishwasher is a work horse. My dishes come out cleaner and drier. About one-half of the tines in the lower racks are slanted. These slanted tines allow the water to roll off. With less water left on the dishes, they dry more completely. The racks can be easily customized to accommodate larger items. The third rack at the top of the dishwasher can hold knives, forks, and spoons. All of the cutlery in the third rack comes out sparkling clean. The stainless-steel tub is left shiny and clean after all the dishes have been washed. It is the quietest dishwasher I have ever owned. I am glad that I purchased this dishwasher, and I am completely satisfied with my new Bosch Dishwasher.

The Bosch 800 Series dishwasher is a masterpiece of cleaning efficiency and quiet operation. Its innovative "RackMatic" system and flexible third rack offer excellent space for dishes of all sizes, ensuring a perfect clean every time. Its exceptional drying technology, "CrystalDry," ensures dishes always come out spotless and bone-dry, saving time. Its sleek design and wifi connectivity make it a must-have for any high-end kitchen, elevating both functionality and style.

We did a lot of research on dishwashers before finally settling on the Bosch 800 Series. We are so happy with it! It has cleaned even the nastiest baked on dishes. It’s easy to use and remarkably quiet. We actually thought it was broken because you can barely hear it run. My dishes come out dry and I love the top utensil rack. As per usual, Best Buy also deserves credit for their great customer service. I ordered online for store pick up as it was the fastest option.

The dishwasher does an excellent job washing and the crystal drying is exactly what was needed - a drying that ensures everything is dry, especially plastic containers. It is extremely quiet. The only negative is with the top controls you can’t tell if the cycle is complete.

Bought this after my KitchenAid silently leaked and caused mold which resulted in thousands of dollars of damage. I like the fact that Bosch dishwasher is very silent. You hardly know i its running. But this is not what I need. Does it clean and Dry well. So far yes I a happy about both. However, the only disappointment I have is that it taks nearly 4 hrs for this cycle to complete. I have tried all other combination cycles and the Drying sucks which is why i give it 4 stars

Excellent reliable washer. Very quiet. Absolutly no problem cleaning or drying unless water puddles in a right side up cup. Nice stainless steel construction. No problem with heat. Bosch Home Connect/wifi, floor time light are some of the features that have been more useful than expected. Considering Bosch for all future appliance needs.

Extremely quiet, easy to install, easy to use. I have seen complaints about a “clean” light to notify you when it’s done. It’s not necessary. There is a red light that shines on the floor when it’s running, and turns off when it is done. Not to mention it’s a smart appliance that sends you a notification when it finishes. We love this dishwasher, and would definitely recommend.

Quiet, but wine glasses don't fit

The dishwasher is nice and quiet and works well, however the touch buttons are sensitive, not a fan, but they work. Also, a silly thing, if you press the wrong wash cycle and start the process, you CANNOT change it, even if you shut the power off, it HAS TO finish that (wrong) wash cycle, even if you didn't actually let the unit start.
I also don't like the 3rd/top shelf, we found out the hard way after several months of owning it, that its height doesn't allow you to wash wine glasses, they are too tall. Funny thing is it has special brackets to hold wine glasses... that don't fit! LOL! Seriously, how did they miss that in testing.
Cleans my dishes well, and very quiet!

Hi DevinT, thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing some difficulties with your Bosch dishwasher. If you start a cycle and then decide you want to select a different cycle, or as you said if you press the wrong wash cycle and start the process, you can change it, you simply need to reset the dishwasher. The instructions for how to reset the dishwasher can be found on page 21 of the Use and Care manual under the heading “Terminating the wash cycle”. Here is a link: https://media3.bsh-group.com/Documents/9001642005_B.pdf. Thank you and we hope this information helps.

Our goal was to buy a great dishwasher and if we had to pay more, so be it. The Bosch 800 series is touted as a top tier machine. It definitely cleans and dries dishes well and is exceptionally QUIET. We were very pleased with the purchase for about two weeks and then the soap dispenser stopped working properly. It would not open up to dispense the detergent on the short cycle mode and a few times on the normal cycle. No doubt a glitch but for the price tag - not acceptable. So, we exchanged it for a Kitchen Aid and so far it’s working well.

The BEST dishwasher I’ve ever had. We upgraded from a GE and man was it an upgrade! It’s so quiet you can barely tell it’s on. It’s faster, and cleans and dries so much better! The very top rack (lay them sideways) is where we put silverware and we took out silverware basket. This has enabled us to maximize space and it holds sooooo much more than any other dishwasher I’ve ever had. I’m thinking of upgrading other appliances to Bosch now bc of how much I like this appliance.

We replaced our dishwasher in 2018 with a Bosch 300 series. A nice investment. It was very quiet and efficient. It only lasted 5 years. So after attempting to have it repaired, we decided to invest in a new model. Bosch was not a top 3 replacement choice. After speaking extensively with the Best Buy home appliance staff, and reviewing online reviews, Bosch became our top choice again. We purchased a Bosch 800 series model. We are very satisfied with the performance. It is even quieter than our previous 300 series model. The only real disappointment is the small utensil basket. Our 300 series model had a basket twice the size of the 800 series model. For the price point this model represents, the utensil basket should have been much larger.
