Nice look
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice dishwasher, lower rack is a little wobbly when pulling out, goes off track but not a deal breaker. I played around with panel locations to get the look I wanted. You don't even know it's a dishwasher when looking at it. It's exactly what I wanted.

    Beauty and Functionality
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am more than thrilled with my Bosch dishwasher. It's quiet, efficient, easy to load and adjust racks to desired positions, and performs better than any dishwasher I've ever owned. I especially love the Crystal Dry feature and how it leaves my dishes drier and even more spot-free. Our custom panel was also very easy for our installer and the overall result is just plain beautiful!! I couldn't be happier!

      Fantastic
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It runs quiet. The panel ready feature was easy to accommodate. I like the track options inside. The dishes clean well. It connects to the phone if you're interested in knowing when it's running and complete. Because it's so quiet I at times don't know if it's running so I'm thankful for the red light that shines on the ground. Solid red when running. Flashing when paused. So neat!

        Best Dishwasher I've owned
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used and/or owned quite a number of dishwashers over my 65 years and this one is the best one by far. It was installed as part of a kitchen remodel I did myself. This dishwasher is super quiet (even before the countertops were installed) and, so far, cleans all the dishes very well with only one detergent tablet. All the dishes and silverware consistently come out spotless. I love the third top rack for sliverware. Everything is held in place without touching each other and very easy to unload. I thought our water was pretty soft as we haven't needed a water softener but the test strip that came with the installation instructions said we had 1.9-2.1 mmol/l of hardness. Setting the dishwasher to H:03 was very easy with the phone app. I'm really glad we went for the model with the integrated water softener. I'm an engineer and long time home improvement DIY'er that gets great gratification from things built or installed plumb, level with precision. While I've installed a number of dishwashers in the past, I've never installed a Bosch dishwasher let alone one with an appliance panel. Here are two areas that I could see where the installation instructions could use improvement: 1.The instructions to install the appliance panel to the door of the dishwasher are clear on how to fasten it to the dishwaser door but they're not clear on the limits of the maximum height of the panel or how to align the panel so the bottom edge will be level with the doors on the rest of the cabinets. There are diagrams that look like they're trying to show the dimensions and limits but a little text to go along with the diagrams would help clarify what the diagrams are trying to say. I had to resort to downloading the 3D CAD model from Bosch to get dimensions for how the top of the appliance panel aligns with the top of the door. 2. The dishwasher is made to fit under a wide range of counter heights. Our base cabinets were 34.5 inches tall leaving quite a bit of room above the dishwasher. We could have adjusted the feet to close that gap but the bottom edge of the appliance panel wouldn't align properly. The photo of an installed SGV78B53UC on the Bosch website showed a filler strip above the appliance panel which would work great but the installation instructions don't adress this in words. Once I found a small add-in sheet with the instructions it made things a bit clearer as to how to install blocking to prevent the diswasher from tipping forward when installed under tall countertops. It again, only had diagrams and no text to clarify. I would certainly recommend this dishwasher to anyone but if you're having installed, make sure the installer has experience installing Bosch diswashers. Especially so for dishwashers with the appliance panel option.

          Gets dishes clean
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very quiet and cleans the dishes better than any other dishwasher I've seen. It loads differently than my other dishwashers with a notable lack of places for stemmed wine glasses.

            Great Dishwasher
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the difficult task of repairing my Miele dishwasher or replacing it. The codt of repair was one half the cost of a new Miele dishwasher but the same cost as a new Bosch dishwasher. I purchased the Bosch abz am so pleased with the dish washing performance and quietness! Highly recommend and the custom panel was easy to install.

              Best dishwasher
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I waited over a year to get my dishwasher due to post Covid supply chain issues. It was worth the wait. Everything about this dishwasher is great. Works extremely well and is so quiet you wouldn't know it was on, but for the red little dot of light on the floor to tell you it's running. Love it!

                  Quiet and cleans well
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did not realize that I needed a new dishwasher until I forced to replace it. This dishwasher cleans extremely well and I love the top silverware tray. I recommend this dishwasher.

                      DO NOT PURCHASE
                      DO NOT PURCHASE A BOSCH. Difficult to maintenance and terrible customer service. Purchased dishwasher January 2022 for $1,249.00. Installed until June 2022 due to completion on our kitchen renovation. August 2023 an E31 code appeared. Contacted customer service, advised of what company in our area could service the unit. That company couldn't fix the unit. We still have a dishwasher with E31 code that doesn't work and Bosch is stating they can not assist us.

                            Manafacturer defect had this dead on arrival. As soon as the door was closed the power went away. Bosch customer service is non existant. After researching the problem I found it was very common with Bosch dishwashers. Having it picked up. Will not purchase Bosch again.

                              Does it’s work quietly
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought the Bosch 800 in part because of Bosch reputation but also because of the sound level - or lack of it! It's super quiet and in our open concept kitchen/living space this was important. We love the third tier for flatware and it gets everything spotless. It's just what we were hoping for in a dishwasher.

                                MY BOSCH DISHWASHER
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dishwasher is so quiet that I really can barely hear it and only if I am specificlly trying to hear it. It has very easy loading and lots of room for all my dishes (including serving dishes) and 3 sets of glassware after a dinner party for 10. I love it and will never try a different brand other than a Bosch. Deirdre Tessman

                                  bad experience
                                  Purchased Bosch panel ready machine to replace one which broke after 9 years. The installation team put the new machine in place and discovered the custom panel would not allow the dishwasher door to fully open. This is perplexing as I bought the updated model of what I had been using for years. Installers were in a rush and offered no solutions and spent no time trying to determine if any modifications would fix the issue. They departed quickly and wished me luck. $189 for this level of service is not very satisfactory. I am left with a machine which is not fully useable. Home Depot should offer a bit more help than what I received.

                                    Owned 5 years and already needs a major repair ($410) no help from customer service after they indicated they would help with part cost. Buy another brand—Whirlpool or kitchen aide. I’m sorry I ever purchased a Bosch

                                      High-quality construction and excellent materials. Love the large silverware container. Very popular and hard to find. Best dishwasher I've ever owned.

                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I expected excellence from this dishwasher and I got it. The third rack is awesome, the flexibility of the configurations is great, and it both cleans and dries so well just on the normal setting. I haven't used all the modes yet but so far it's honestly life changing, since we went from no dishwasher to top of the line.

                                          The quietest dishwasher! Cleans very well. Easy to use. Has a third shallow drawer on top for long, flat items. If you have tall glasses then remove the top drawer to fit them.

                                          The only real issue is the misunderstanding about the dishwasher being panel ready. I now have a dishwasher without a panel. There isn’t any suggestion on how or who to contact to purchase a panel or where I could get help in to get a panel. When contacting Home Depot via text, I received no help. The dishwasher is excellent!!

                                          Hi Darren, thanks for contacting Bosch. Typically, cabinet makers craft and sell custom panels since they are designed to match existing kitchen cabinetry. These custom wood panels are made to accommodate the dishwasher door dimensions. BoschAppliancesUSA

                                            Bosch 800 Series Dishwasher
                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We remodeled our kitchen 20 years ago and put in a Bosch and loved it. After 20 years it went bad and at the time we couldn't find another panel ready model Bosch. Because of the lack of availability we purchased a Beko. The Beko did not measure up to the Bosch. We decided to order a Bosch and wait the 2 to 3 months. We now have it installed replacing a 6 month old Beko and love it. It does a better job. The dishes are cleaner, come out dryer and the racks are much easier to load. In hindsight we should have purchased the Bosch first and waited. Much better machine. Thank you! I would give you 6 stars if I could!

                                              The door was the perfect size to open in the limited space we have. The water softener within the dishwasher gives us the cleanest dishes we have ever had from a dishwasher. You hardly notice the dishwasher is on because it is so quiet. The silverware tray is a great upgrade from the traditional basket. Best dishwasher we have ever owned.

This is everything I needed. Sleek, has all options you might need like sanitize, half load, and of course auto. I like how you can customize the racks and baskets accoding to what you need, and do that very easy. I wasn't looking to have a wifi connected machine, but I like that as well since it tells you how long is left in the cycle, if the salt is running low etc. Overall, really solid machine, has everything you need.
