Product review (2 stars): Overrated Bosch
Bosch use to be good, now cheaply made. Do not expect your dishes to be dry since they do not have a dryer, this is why they get energy ratings. There is always water on the dishes, even if you use delay and let it sit overnight. So much water that it will track on your floors as you are putting the dishes away. Don't be fooled by their DBA claims, it is not accurate. If you measure the sound during the pulsating noises it is no longer quiet. Loud enough that if you are standing in the kitchen you and your guests will hear it. There are times during the cycle that you wonder if it is on, it can be that quite- that is the decibel they state. Too bad they don't state the actual sound when it is really working.
The doors are no longer the heavy stainless they use to be. They now paint parts of the plastic fascia. They no longer have a latch so it is a direct pull, another way to cut down on production costs. The new silverware baskets have ledges in them for the purpose of making sure each piece gets clean. However you will not be able to put in as many place settings of silverware in the basket as stated due to the various levels. The fold over plastic that comes with the basket is so thin, it will easily cut with scissors. The 800 has a cutlery 3rd rack. You will not be able to fit the described piece place settings and any large cookware in the same load.

The one thing that is correct about their claims is they do clean with food left on. It is also next to impossible to clog a Bosch. THAT'S IT!

Unless you buy a 800 series all the above is true. The 800 series is the only one that is still made in Germany. The 800 also has a cutlery 3rd rack.

Bottom line- this is an extremely overrated dishwasher! I am a caterer- I get to work on all brands of dishwashers in high end homes. unless it is the expensive 800 series, I will no longer recommend a Bosch to my customers.

When a product is only warranted by the manufacture for one year- that should tell you something about the quality!
