It's cool, It's quiet, It's a riot ! Holds a bunch , In a crunch ! All done just a beep , Then it's sound asleep ! Pop her open in the morning, Sparkle Plenty all week !

About ten years ago, we bought our house from the builder, which was a good thing. But, as an indicator of the times, they put the cheapest worst performing dishwasher in the house. At first we thought it was because of the hard water that nothing would get clean. Once remedying that issue, we realized the dishwasher was basically awful. The biggest issues were that it was extremely loud, didn't clean things at all, and the water sprayer routinely fell out. FF to 2020...We got a Bosch 800 series. My wife initially wanted to, 'get a cheaper model'. I held my ground after reading tons of reviews. What I wanted was a dishwasher that we could run and reasonably expect the dishes to get clean, and be able to have a conversation in the garage at normal levels without being drowned out by the dishwasher... The first load we ran through was stuff that was in the sink for a day or two because we were waiting for the Bosch to be installed. I thought there's no way this stuff is going to get clean. Well, it got clean, we couldn't even tell it was running, except for the red light on the floor indicating it was on. OMG, this is unreal I thought. So, then I started running everything through the new one. I basically took everything out of the cabinets and ran it all through the Bosch. Specific things that I thought were exceptional: 1. No film of residue on the dishes, clear glass was, well, clear glass. 2. The dishes were C L E A N !! For reals... So far in the month and a half it has N E V E R run a cycle without getting everything completely clean, no residue, no baked on food, no nothing. 3. It's quiet... The last one sounded like a WWII era B-17 Bomber doing low level flight maneuvers at 50 feet. No kidding... We can now have conversations at normal volume in the kitchen right next to it. Drying: I know people have complained about drying issues with the Bosch dishwashers. But...This one with Crystal Dry is good, no issues...if you leave a bowl or a cup with the opening up, it won't dry that out, but that's an issue of the person loading the machine. Make sure there aren't any lips or containers facing up and no issues. Seriously... Maybe all these things are what you'd expect with this level of machine, but in our case it's an insanely good upgrade. We've had Z E R O problems. We couldn't expect much better than that.

We bought our first Bosch 25 years ago. It finally succumbed to our aggressive water. The new one we bought to replace it is so quiet I hardly hear it standing three feet from it. Cleans and dries very well!
