Product review (2 stars): Impossible to stack
The Bosch 800 series dishwasher does clean well but it is very difficult to stack. It is designed for plates, glasses, cups, saucers and cutlery, that's it. Try stacking bowls, pots, lids, cutting boards, serving platters, spatulas, flippers, serving spoons, plastic food containers, or pet bowls and you will be faced with a frustrating puzzle challenge. The only option is to stack less then a dozen pieces at a time which cancels out the energy and water saving advantages. And because the cycles are about 2 hours long, your counters will be littered with dirty dishes- unless you wash them your self. I dream of my old Kitchen-Aid which could hold 3 times as many items no matter what shape or size. Also, I could use almost any detergent with my Kitchen Aid, the Bosch only cleans well with Finish which is an expensive brand. I can't vouch for present model Kitchen Aids as my old one lasted 20 years (unheard of nowadays) and I hear Kitchen Aid is now owned by a different company.
