Costco Members: Bosch 100 Series Stainless Steel Top Control Towel Bar Handle Dishwasher Expired

Ya saw that too. We use rinse often.

what's the kitchenaid model??

Can I ask what is the purpose of a rinse only cycle?

If you don't need to run it for a couple of days, it clears off food and debris with a once cycle rinse.

I'm sure it's a night and day difference. But this version or save for the Bosch 800?

Save for 800 or even get 500. A lot of Home Depots have changed the model from the floor and selling 500 and 800 for $500-600 (previous floor model) and all are like brand new

I got the Bosch 500 around Black Friday for $800. Was hesitant since I read a bunch of complaints about it not drying well since there are no heating elements for drying (apparently a requirement for obtaining the desirable energy efficient label).

I bought the 500 specifically because it automatically pops the door open after wash cycle to aid in drying. I run my dishwasher at night, when I wake up everything is 99% dry with the exception of a few droplets on some plastic items (this is without using rinse aid, so I would imagine with rinse aid it would dry better) .Absolutely no big deal for me and the good thing is you can now wash plastics on the bottom rack because there is no heating element to warp them.

The 500 is fantastic, only thing I wish it had which it doesn't is a rinse only cycle but also no big deal. Haven't even messed around with any of the wifi stuff, I'm very happy with the 500.

can't imagine putting an unknown chemical on your dishes during rinse cycle. I put vinegar in the rinseaid dispenser in mine, works great, costs pennies.

If you are in NorCal BayArea or Sacramento airport home appliance has a 500 series for $100 more @ $599. Installation is extra.

Just got delivered last night with install and haul away. Nothing to prep. They did everything. Included new hoses as well.

I initially regret the purchase because I didn't see the post about the 500 model at airport appliances for $100 more until after I ordered this. But this morning, I am thoroughly impressed.

I used the auto wash mode and dishes came out dry this morning after washing overnight including the plastic cups. I don't use the drying mode normally due to costs but this Bosch seems to have a "set and forget it" attitude as in it uses the most convoluted way to configure the wash cycles if you don't like the given preset ones. I think I will continue to use dry mode for now given it's just a fan and not a heating element, plus, I don't want to get into that menu system and get lost. We'll see what the electricity bill is.

My previous DW was rated at 60 db and this is 50 db. I don't know notice it being 10x quieter than my old one. The tines are very close together but you can fold them out of the way.

The only negative on this Bosch is there are zero indicator lights. Yes there are LED's indicating active cycle, drying, clean, and sanitize, but they are only lit when the door is opened. They are off when the door is closed??? (Yes the lights are hidden under the counter. I turned off all the lights in the kitchen to check because I thought I was crazy.) Perhaps I can configure it to turn on while running but it's not easy for this lamen to figure out how.

Summary, I'm happy with the purchase. Don't think I need to pay $100 for the 500 unless I need a third rack I suppose.
