This is my second Bosch dishwasher. My first one was purchased and ran for 5 years. A kitchen remodel happened and I gave the dishwasher to my son and it has been running for 7 years now. The 800 series dishwasher allows you to use dishwasher water softener (we have hard water where I live). In addition to dishwasher tablets, you need a rinse aid, dishwaser water softener and dishwasher cleaner cartridges. The machine can be added to the Internet and it will remind you about supplies. Only problem is there is no reminder when the rinse aid tank runs low. The machine is quiet and easy to keep clean.
