Is it even running?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's so quiet, that sometimes I have to double check to make sure it's even running. I absolutely love this dishwasher, the best upgrade.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our second Bosch 800 series dishwasher. This one replaced a unit that we bought in 2013. This new dishwasher is a champ at cleaning the dishes and is extremely quiet. I love the adjustability of the top rack. The Crystal Dry function is remarkably better than standard drying of plastic items. Some changes were made between 2013 and 2026 and I don't love them all. The stainless finish on the handle and the front are quite resistant to fingerprints. I don't love that the door is more tightly sprung to close on its own. The light for "clean" on my panel does not light up after the cycle has been run. I do run the dishwasher at night and it may be that this feature times out by the time I open the dishwasher in the morning. The silverware rack is much smaller. Thankfully, our retailer gave us an additional basket to offset that issue. I miss the plastic handle on the lower rack. The wire pull feels cheap. I've looked for a part to purchase and haven't been successful. The middle rack is used for glasses and bowls at our house. The tines on the right side of the rack used to have the option of laying flat. Now they are fixed and don't allow our bowls to seat well. The middle and upper racks glide less smoothly than our previous model. Again, the dishwasher does a great job cleaning and drying the dishes. I should have looked more closely at the rack designs and may have attempted to put our old middle rack in the new machine at installation.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazed at how quiet this dishwasher is. Cleans well and the design is very user-friendly. Wish they had an option to access the info they include in the app through another means (booklet or website) as I didn't want to install their app on my phone. It would also be nice if they included one or two tall bottle holders (all of the prongs in the lower rack are short and positioned at an angle) because I wash large glass milk bottles regularly. Bought and attached the large bottle holder separately and it works well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very quiet. It was very expensive and the plastic parts are not sturdy. My first Bosch and I'm disappointed. I thought the quality would be better. The spray arm drips water and if you don't place the mugs exactly right they collect water.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far we love this dishwasher. We've only had it a month though. We didn't buy the extended warranty so I sure hope it's still last. They're supposed to.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Incredible dishwasher that works like a dream! Handles anything I put in there and leaves dishes and glasses gleaming. My third dishwasher and I'm happiest with my Bosch!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shes a beauty! This is my very first Bosch and I am very pleased with this product. Very simple read, instructions are clear its a classic, timeless, sleek and quiet design, and the dishes come out squeaky clean. Very happy with this purchase!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very quiet--the red light projected on the floor is what tells me it's actually working! Easy to load with the flexibility of 3 drawers including adjustable features; programming is a breeze and the app reminds me when it's ready to be unloaded; plus careful design that makes it an elegant addition to the modern kitchen. This model has a wide solid handle that is easy on the hands. Overall very satisfied with this purchase!
