    Came here from the GE Combo video. This is another great video! One can tell that you've thoroughly informed yourself. And even the installation, while more involved than on the Bosch dishwashers over here, is done perfectly. As you've probably figured out by now, you don't need to empty the rack to adjust the height. I guess it's easier to refill the rinse aid if you your unscrew the bottle's cap. Now all you'll need to do is grab a GoPro and be the first to film that new bottom spray arm in action. 😉 Greetings from Germany.

      Thanks. We emptied the rack for the footage and because we didnt know how much everything would weigh when we released it. The gopro would be a cool idea in the machine.

    A trick with the Jet Dry bottle. Put your finger over the opening, turn the bottle down over the jet dry compartment, then remove your finger. Place your finger over the opening when you want to turn it upright. No spill.

    I bought a Bosch 800 dishwasher 4 years ago. Worked great untill 3 weeks ago. It started throwing E07 codes,the zeolite fan code. I called Bosch with the problem. They said the fan needed to be replaced. It took 2 weeks to get the service guy to come out and when he got here he didn’t bring any parts with him. Looked at it and found the zeolite container was bad and had melted a piece of plastic that runs down the center of the washer. Part of the parts were covered under some recall but the repair is still costing me over $500! A high end washer that costs $1200 shouldn’t have service issues after only 4 years! If you’re considering a Bosch think twice about it. I live alone and only use it once every 2 days,it’s not like I’m using it to death.

      We also bought a Bosch 800 series dishwasher about 3 1/2 years ago. It worked well until 3 weeks ago when it showed a E07 code. A repairman came and gave us an estimate of $700 for parts and labor. We have always thought Bosch dishwashers were fantastic until this experience . We just ordered a Miele dishwasher with a FREE five year warranty. I don’t think we’ll buy a Bosch dishwasher again.

      @@janmcclelland8935 You can graph how easily you can get service for an appliance, with domestic brands like Whirlpool or Frigidaire on one end, then Samsung/Lg maybe in the middle, and then Miele all the way at the other end. When buying a less common brand, it would be wise to do a search online and find out how many companies can service it in your town. As for Bosch, they have factory service in some cities, and then leave it up to contractors in other cities. In my experience, there are a lot of servicers out there that will work on Bosch.

    @davidgapp1457 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    A thorough but extremely generous review. My previous Bosch was an SHX57C05UC/31, an entirely superior machine although on paper they should be equivalent. Where to start? Three points jump out immediately.
    First, the lack of sound insulation. There is almost no insulation on the back of the machine, almost no insulation around the front, under the door, and significant absences at various spots around the machine. As anyone who has soundproofed a room will know, any breaches in sound insulation ruin the overall effect - the new Bosch proves the rule. Clunks and clicks in particular 'make it through' and on a light load the machine is noticeably noisier than the old SHX57.
    Second, the middle rack interferes with the front door. To be clear, the machine that arrived was different in this one respect from the machine reviewed here. In place of the blue plastic draw handle on the racks, I had a grey plastic handle with a metal label with 'BOSCH' embossed on it. Unfortunately the rack, even when fully seated, makes contact with the front door. In addition, what looked like a black electrolysis burn was apparent where the rack touches the front door. The mark is permanent on both pieces of metal. The contact point also inhibits the ability of the front door to close properly. I suspect my Bosch racks are a cheaper substitution, implemented quite recently.
    Third, the cutlery holder is smaller than the one on the SHX57. Fortunately I retained the old, larger, holder from SHX57, but otherwise I would've had to buy a second holder for this model. Which is extremely annoying given the cost of this machine. It isn't cheap. A comparable LG with DC inverter motor is more than $300 cheaper! So why would I want a bigger holder you ask? Well, the truth is that aside from ladles and mixing spoons, I can't be bothered to lay out silverware on the top rack. Actually I think the top rack is one of the most useless features on this or any dishwasher. It detracts from the height clearances and this is a nuisance that far outweighs the value of the rack itself.
    I should say that earlier Bosch dishwashers were easier to install. As an example (one of many) the earlier machine had a right-angled water inlet valve, so no additional part required. Seriously, why would you even design or ship or a dishwasher without this most obvious and basic feature? The other point of concern is the two mounting brackets at the top of the machine. To call these flimsy would be an understatement. In addition they have too much play which results in a small amount of movement. The older SHX has a more substantial bracket and no play whatsoever. This is Bosch 'going cheap'.
    Overall, the SHX57, purchased back in 2005 I believe, is the superior product. It is very noticeably quieter, it does a better job of cleaning pots and pans, it does not require a 'finisher' product because the plates come out completely clean every time, despite not pre-rinsing plates and cutlery that have sat overnight. I should admit here that we have a whole-house water softener which is a big plus where dishwashers, in general, are concerned.
    In use. I found the front door seal is stiffer than the seal on the SHX57 and simply does not seal as well. My SHX57 has worked every day from July of 2005 through to October of 2024. Never leaked. The new one? I can definitely see water seepage past the front door seal. The new dishwasher really offers nothing over the older SHX57. Indeed, it's technology is out-dated in the motor department (compared to machines such as the LG Quadwash Pro) and so-called improvements just... aren't.
    Overall I've owned six Bosch dishwashers over our three houses. However, this will be my last Bosch. It simply isn't worth the money. It isn't quiet, the machinery is fundamentally out-dated, and this is basically a pig with lipstick. I cannot recommend this dishwasher to my friends.

    I have, basically, the same machine. Um, it's not without its problems. The impeller clogs too often, and only someone who is "handy" will actually be able to fix the issue. "Stuff" somehow gets by the filter. You'll get a "clog" code at some point. You better be prepared to fix this yourself, or pay the price to have some repair guy come out and fix what only takes 10 minutes to remedy. Also, the top aerator housing drooped down on my unit, causing the aerator to get stuck (not spin). A few zip ties fixed this issue, but it shouldn't be a problem. Also, the plastic housing on the side gets so hot that it will delaminate or damage the side of your cupboard. You'll only notice this if you have to remove your dishwasher at some point. Anyways, other than these issue, my dishwasher has been decent. Can't say any better than my old Maytag, but decent. It's definitely quieter. :)

    Great video, great accent. Questions: can two people get alerts or make adjustments on their own phones/devices, or will the app work with only one person? Is using the app the only way one will have access to all the settings options or are these also available on the panel e.g. deeper in the menu somewhere? Is there an option not to use the wifi option altogether? I may decide not to. I originally used ot for my washing machine but the constant alerts were too much and I turned it off. Do you happen to know if the auto door opening option can be either turned off or adjusted to open at a later time if the hot steam has a negative effect on painted cabinetry to either side of the dishwasher? I know there's a protective seal at the top but one review implied she got damage on the cabinetry or paint on both sides of her 800 series dishwasher from that hot steam. Have you found that your machine jiggles around and doesn't feel super stable and firm in place? That was another negative review (amidst mostly positive reviews). Last Q: how are you liking your machine at this point in time? Thanks so much! Anyone else with the 800 can feel free to answer as well! :)

    It is hard to see what type of fill line you are using. The most common type in the USA is a stainless steel or white flex line which is the dishwasher version of a garden hose. Since it has a washer in it, no sealant is necessary. It is unlikely that a stiff copper line or equivalent plastic would be very easy for the average homeowner to install, and in fact no 3rd party installer will connect to copper these days, or use any power other than an outlet.
