[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I am happy with this purchase. The unit very quiet and looks really good. Also, it cleans and dries well.\r\n\r\nI knew going in that there would be a learning curve on how to load this dishwasher. \r\n\r\nI am getting used to the upper utensil rack—and I like it. \r\n\r\nI love the configuration of the bottom rack. It was actually why we selected the Bosch over other brands and I am really happy with it.\r\n\r\nBut I do have a few issues:\r\nThe center rack does not hold as much as my previous DW and the configuration is weird. On the left side, the space for loading glasses is smaller than the on the right side, so many of our cups, mugs and glasses do not fit. \r\n\r\nAlso, there is no logical way to load bowls in the middle rack—you just have to lay them down in the center area. There are no tongs to hold them up and separate them. \r\n\r\nThe biggest issue though is that, because the dishwasher is so well sealed, it STINKS. I asked a friend who also has a Bosch (in case it was just ours) and hers stinks too.\r\nSo I devised a contraption to keep the unit upen slightly when not in use and that has solved the problem. But now the unit does not look as sleek because you can see the control panel. I guess it is the lesser of 2 evils.\r\n\r\nOverall—because I like the quiet and I love the bottom rack, I am glad we made the purchase. \r\n\r\nI do think the smell issue should be addressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let's be honest: I didn't buy a dishwasher. I bought a mechanical miracle worker that saved my life and cured my post-dinner depression. The Bosch SHX78CM5N is an absolute beast masquerading as a sleek kitchen appliance.Here is why this machine is the MVP of my entire house:It is dangerously quiet: Seriously. The first week we had it, I kept walking into the kitchen and pressing my ear against the door like a safecracker just to see if it was actually running. It's so quiet (42 dBA!) that Bosch had to build a literal laser beam—the InfoLight—that shines a red dot on the floor just so you don't accidentally open it mid-cycle and give yourself an unprompted facial steam.The "CrystalDry" black magic: I don't know what kind of sci-fi witchcraft Bosch engineered into this thing, but it turns moisture into pure heat. Plastics? Bone dry. Tupperware containers that usually hold a swimming pool of water on top? Dry. It is the first time in my life I haven't had to keep a dishtowel in hand while unloading a dishwasher.The third rack is a game-changer: The "MyWay" rack actually fits deep items like cereal bowls and ladles, not just flat spatulas. It feels like playing a highly rewarding game of kitchen Tetris where you always win.It actually washes the dishes: Crazy concept, right? I deliberately left a casserole dish coated in baked-on, crusty cheese on the counter for 24 hours as a test. I didn't pre-rinse it. I just shoved it in and prayed. It came out looking cleaner than the day I bought it.If you are on the fence about spending the money on a Bosch 800 Series, just do it. Your sanity, your plastics, and your ears will thank you.

Super Quiet. Cleaning appears to be better than the LG we had and I loved how it cleaned. Sure, plastic might be damp when cycle is finished, but everything else is dry and I don’t have to worry about warped plastic as much. WiFi connection fought me for a while, then suddenly was fine. The app and instructions via the app are super helpful. We got used to the controls on the front so we could see what the old dishwasher was doing, but we are adjusting to the cleaner look and the lack of random turning the unit on because we were leaning for a something above it. I would have given this a 5, but the door feels flimsy, and the front of the silverware tray pops off often when trying to move that rack in or out (it’s the center part of the rack and even looks like it was designed to be a pull). I think we can get more dishes in this than before (great capacity), but we had to learn how to place the dishes to get the maximum fit. Overall, we don’t even know it’s running it’s so quiet, and the dishes are shinier than before, (there are no spots and we don’t even use a rinse agent, just pods) and although it was pricier than we would like we are anticipating a long life out of this since the mother in laws Bosch has been around for a long time.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·JohnS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had the previous model (8 years old) of this dishwasher. They knocked it out of the park with this newer model. I love the Wifi connectivity. Since this model doesn't have a displays on the front of this unit, there is no way to really know when the dishwasher will be done. The app tells you how much longer the dishwasher will be until it's finished. The new CrystalDry feature works well. With the old dishwasher, we had to hand dry the plastic. CrystalDry makes the plastic almost completely dry. There are only certain pieces that still need a little bit of drying (mostly ones that have deep grooves and are not stacked sideways). The one thing to be cautious about is that you can not put any thin plastics near the CrystalDry mechanism. We had a plastic water bottle near it and it melted the top of it. The dishes come out clean every time and the new targeted washing is a nice feature. I also like the fact that you can now change how much JetDry is being used. The only thing that I didn't like about this new dishwasher is that they only give you a small silverware caddy. I guess you're supposed to put the silverware on the very top tray. They didn't work for us, so we reused the older larger silverware caddy. Overall, we've been super happy with this dishwasher and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new dishwasher.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I could not be happier with my Bosch 800 Series dishwasher. It is, without question, the quietest, most efficient, and most incredible appliance I have ever owned. The cleaning performance is outstanding—every load comes out sparkling clean, even items that previously required pre-rinsing.\r\n\r\nWhat truly amazes me is how incredibly quiet it is. Many times I have had to check the indicator light just to confirm it was running because it operates so silently. In addition, it is exceptionally energy- and water-efficient, giving me confidence that I am saving resources while still getting top-tier cleaning results.\r\n\r\nThe quality, design, and reliability of the Bosch 800 Series exceed all of my expectations. Every detail feels thoughtfully engineered, and it has made a noticeable difference in my daily routine. Purchasing this dishwasher was one of the best decisions I have made for my home.\r\n\r\nI am absolutely delighted with my purchase and would highly recommend Bosch to anyone looking for a premium dishwasher. Based on this experience, I will always be a Bosch customer.

I needed to buy a pocket door dishwasher for my remodeled kitchen so I chose a Bosch since I was happy with my last one. The new one has some features which I'm not really happy about. One of the worst features is the door slams closed if you don't open it at least half way. Which is inconvenient since I usually only open it 1/3 of the way to put silverware or small items in the top two trays. My old Bosch stayed open no matter where I left the door. This door has nearly slammed on my hand a couple of times. Also, the dishwasher was not coming close to drying my dishes even with the crystal drying feature. I'd open up the door and there would be moisture everywhere. I finally had to to turn on the sanitation cycle and go on their app and extend the drying time. That finally worked, but it defeats the purpose of energy consumption when it takes 2 hours to finish.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·SC-Sunset
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was very apparent when comparing our old dishwasher to the new Bosch dishwasher that there is a HUGE difference in quality. Our old dishwasher was mid-level, and the Bosch far surpasses it in both workmanship and materials.\r\nThe installation instructions are clear with plenty of diagrams. \r\nThe new Bosch is so quiet you almost cannot tell it is running (but it is!). You can barely hear the water filling the dishwasher, during the wash cycle, or as the water is pumped from the unit. The touch feature of setting the features takes a little getting used to; that is, you have to press a little longer than the old-style buttons on our old dishwasher.\r\nOne item I wish we could adjust is the "child protect" feature that keeps the children from playing with the buttons. After you press START, you have to close the door within 4 seconds, or the dishwasher won't start. I wish there were an option to disable this feature or set the door-closing time to more than 4 seconds.\r\nThe lastly, it does a GREAT job of cleaning the dishes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fact that this dishwasher cleans all my glasses (both wine and drinking glasses) so well has made it worthwhile to me. However, I do find it difficult to load. On the top shelf on the left, it seems as if all my mugs and glasses are too big to fit next to bowls on the rack (these are neither big mugs or glasses). And same thing on the left, glasses don't fit securely. And the wine stem holder is too narrow for almost all of my wine glasses. It just seems odd, as if measurements were off in the design phase and no one actually tried to load dishes. Obviously, I have figured out how to load my dishes but it seems as if it should be easier. But, again, I am thrilled that I no longer have to wash wine glasses by hand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yep, it's that QUIET. Thank goodness for the little red light on the floor that tells me it's still running or it's done. \r\nMy Bosch from 12 years ago was going strong when we sold that house so I made sure we put a Bosch in the new home. I appreciate the adjustability of the top cutlery tray that now lets me put ramekins and little dishes up top. However...I REALLY MISS the full length utensil holder on the bottom rack. As well as the tall rack thingie that was great for washing a vase or a tall mug on the bottom rack. I know it's available as an accessory but at the Bosch price point....c'mon.\r\nDrying, especially plastic, is always dicey in a dishwasher and this one is GOOD at it. Sure, there are a few drops here and there on the plastic, but it's very minimal. I also appreciate the adjustability (in the app) for the level of JetDri you want to use in each wash.\r\n5 Stars for this dishwasher---and with any luck it is as reliable over the long haul as my last one was.

Bosch dishwasher is in the 2nd week of constant use. It is so quiet, that installer thought that is was not working. The 2.45 hr cleaning cycle really cleans dishes, but CrystalDry does NOT dry the dishes. Bosch is 2-3 times more expensive than other washers and we are hoping to get 20-22 years of use like we did with our old Maytag washer.\r\nIf your old washer was hard-wired or hard-piped, you will need to change this out before installing Bosch. The sales desk where we bought our Bosch was told that our current installation used both hard-wired and hard-piped and we were assured that there would be NO problem with installation - WRONG - which delayed installation until electrical and plumbing was changed to accommodate Bosch installation.

Ran first load without using the Home Connect App and just read quick start instructions, so, very disappointed when I opened the door and everything was still wet, I did select the CrystalDry option. I purchased the 800 series with CrystalDry, because I like my dishes dry! So I downloaded the app and this time I selected CrystalDry and Sanitize options, it was a good 4 hours after wash completed before I opened the door, and everything was dry, maybe 1 or 2 cups had a tiny bit of water, I was so happy! I am still fine tuning the drying time, but, decided to set the washer before I go to bed and everything will be dry in the morning. I have read so many reviews complaining about the wet dishes, but happy to have figured it out. Not sure if it was the app, still trying the different settings.

Reviewed on www.wayfair.com·T. Powers
We had a Bosch 500 series for years and were very pleased with how quiet it ran, the awesome 3rd rack and how well it cleaned the dishes. We recently purchased an 800 series. It washes well, runs a little quieter than our old one an has that 3rd rack I now cannot do without. If I had to buy it all over again I really don't think I would. The little aggravation is the 1 janky silverware basket that now comes with it. The tops of the basket don't provide enough spaces for all of your silverware if you have a big family or wait until your dishwasher is full to run it. (They also seem to let your silverware fall around willy nilly.) If you open and don't use the 'tops' of the basket the silverware basket is so short not all of the silverware will stay in place. You may not have room in the very top rack to put the additional silverware. My plan is to buy 2 new silverware baskets that are not made by Bosch. (I wish I would have kept my old ones.). The 2nd thing that really makes me regret purchasing this dishwasher is that even though we leveled up and bought a nicer dishwasher with more options, we don't have access to all of those options unless we connect our dishwasher to wifi. The very basic options are available on the dishwasher itself but the extra options we were looking forward to are only available through the app - you cannot use the app without connecting your dishwasher to the internet and cloud. Ridiculous. There is now a blinking red light for 'machine care' and you're supposed to use their special detergent and use the machine care cycle to disinfect the dishwasher. Not a bad idea, but the there is no machine care button on my 800 dishwasher. It's on the app. I guess it will be blinking for the next 7-10 years - if I can handle it that long. SO VERY FRUSTRATING.

The dishwasher itself works well, but the installation design was disappointing. The water supply connection on the dishwasher side is made of plastic, which makes it very easy to over-tighten and potentially damage during installation. A metal fitting would have been a much better and more durable choice.\r\n\r\nThis design made the installation unnecessarily stressful, especially in a tight space where you cannot clearly see the connection while tightening it. If the plastic fitting breaks, replacement looks like it would be difficult and costly. For a premium dishwasher, Bosch should really reconsider this part of the design.
