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.

Thanks, OP. Ordered one. I'm not concerned about the heating element. Electricity rates are too high in my area. I usually just run the dishes overnight and open it all the way sliding out the dishes to dry by day. We have kids and lots of plasticware. Not dry? Too bad. We pick at the dishwasher throughout the day. Until there is hardly anything left by the time night rolls around.

A couple of days?! Oh man, you must not have kids. I sometimes run mine multiple times a day.

Anyway, I can't speak for this model in particular, but at least on my 800, you can still run a rinse cycle. You just have to do it in the app.

You can then set it as a favorite so that when you press the favorite button on the dishwasher it does a rinse or a self clean or whatever you selected.

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

100 is perfectly good, 800 is better, quieter, and more expensive. pick your evil.

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 $500-600 (previous floor model) and all are like brand new
You got a link for that? Cheapest I'm finding the 500 is 900$.

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.

If you mess with the Wi-Fi, you can get your rinse cycle back. 😉

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.
I've always thought the same but never done anything about it. Thank you for the tip.

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.

Got it installed today. They charged $150 extra to install an outlet which they said was required by code and old one was direct wire.

Did you have to change any setting or did the dishes come out try with the default auto wash?

I am sure this is all true, but also keep in mind that 15 years ago appliances were built to last a lifetime, but this is no longer the case even for Bosch I guess.

Quote from elefante72 :
I have had 100 for 15 years and I 100% recommend over the higher end models because it is CHEAP to repair and has fewer features that are crazy expensive to repair.

For maintenance its pretty simple:

1. Every month or so I take the screen out and clean it out with a brush. If some big food gets stuck on the screen, just take it out.
2. Every 2-3 months or so I use Affresh tabs. We have harder water, so YMMV. If its softer a few times a year will suffice to keep the plastics and coatings clean. This does not have a fully SS tub so it needs the tab IMHO to keep it sorted and it does.
3. If something gets in the impeller pump, fix it immediately otherwise you may have an issue.

As a tip you 100% should use rise aid (I bought industrial and make my own for $1 a bottle), and I also use Cascade complete liquid and put a shot in the tub with the regular pod and that dramatically keeps the dishes clean. A 120 oz bottle easily lasts over a year for $12, and is the best "pre-rinse" I have found and takes a few seconds.

The only thing that has worm out is the return pump which I received a replacement for $32 and it took me about 15 minutes to replace and the washer just hit 15 years.

My mother has the 800 which is quieter and my brother bought a $1200 LG. Both of them broke in the first year and the LG needed a full motor replacement. Apparently that isnt a common item but the bill was $800 back to LG -- more than I paid for mine.

Its personal but the cleaning power to the 800 is not dramatically different, the big difference (to me) is no utensil third tray which does reduce loading power a bit but not dramatically. So I wish I had it but not going to pay $500+ and added repair complexity.

I did not change any settings. I say it's complicated to get into the menu but it's likely simple once you understand it. It's just that I haven't needed to. It's been a week now and my dishes continue to come out clean and dry including plastic. I use the auto wash that says a medium dry setting is defaulted. The dry setting is just a fan as far as I can tell so I don't think I'll have an issue with that electricity wise. We'll see in another few weeks, but I do have PG&E and their rate spike hike this January.

I did tell my spouse we no longer need to crack the door open after a clean cycle and she correctly pointed out that the walls of the dishwasher are still wet. We still need to crack the door open. I stand corrected.
