I'm a little late to the discussion, but I have a lot to say about the Bosch 800 and the Bosch haters out there. But first, regarding Costco:
Costco appliance purchases come with free installation and haul-away, which makes Costco pretty much always the best deal on the appliances they carry. My experience has been excellent. ADVICE: Don't pay for anything extra, just take basic free installation. When they arrive, they will do whatever is needed to set it up, but make sure to watch and ask questions. Costco installed a dryer for me last year. They were polite and efficient and showed me that it was working and stable, then said they were done. I asked "did you hook up the steam?" They said, "oh, you want that feature?", and when I said yes they went out to the truck and got a steam kit (which other dealers charge extra for) and installed it. Then they showed me again that it was working. I asked, "I don't think I saw you level the machine. Aren't you supposed to do that?", and then they got a bubble level and readjusted the legs. Great quality installation and haul-away for free, but you must pay attention.The standard settings for Bosch dishwashers are to optimize for energy efficiency. ADVICE: If you want your Bosch dishwasher to dry like an old American dishwasher, then you can adjust those settings and turn on "Intensive Drying" (and other features, see below).
You can customize a lot of things about your Bosch dishwasher, but don't lose that owner's manual, because it's hopeless otherwise. Here, for example, are the instructions for turning on "Intensive Drying" on my older 800 series: 1) Press the button. 2) Hold down the "A" button (on mine that's the "Normal" button ). Press until the display indicates "d:00". 3) Release both buttons. 4) Press the Normal button again until the display shows "d:00". 5) Press the "C" button (on mine that's the "Rinse" button) to turn intensive drying on or off: "d:01" = ON and "d:00" = OFF. 6) Press to save setting. To be fair, you should only have to customize these things once.ADVICE: I always advise dishwasher shoppers not to buy ANY dishwasher without bringing a set of your own plates and cups to an appliance dealer to see how well they fit. The Bosch was perfect for us, but if you have thick stoneware, for example, you might find that an American dishwasher is the only thing that fits your dishes.It's been 8 years since I bought my Bosch 800 series, but I did figure out at the time that this is how you read Bosch model numbers:


First 3 letters: SHX=bar handle, SHP=Pocket handle, SHE=Recessed handle, SHS=Scoop handle

Next 3 letters: 63T=300 series, 65T=500 series, 68T=800 series, 7PT/8PT/9PT=Benchmark series, N=Exclusive model sold through distributors.

The next 3 letters were a lot more confusing, but the biggest differences are around which cycles are offered. Bosch has a confusing array of cycles and options, ranging from 4 cycles/4 options on the 300 series, up to 6 cycles/6 options on the some 800 series models, but more remarkably the names and types of cycles varied, representing a variety of different combinations from 10 different possible cycles and 8 different possible options (my six cycles aren't the same as your six cycles!).

For the 800 series, the differences were mostly whether the model has a built in water softener, or whether it had the Eco Cycle, or the Extra Shine or SpeedPerfect options. ADVICE: If you don't need the water softener, you could look for a cheaper version, but it could still be hard to beat the Costco price.

Further Explanations:

ECO CYCLE saves energy by running at a lower temperature. Works fine for lightly soiled loads. Doesn't dry as well.

EXTRA SHINE OPTION makes the final rinse hotter and extends the drying cycle. This helps make up for the lack of an American-style exposed heating element, but it extends load time and uses more energy.

SPEEDPERFECT speeds things up by heating the water more and using more water. It also uses more energy.
ADVICE: If you keep the SpeedPerfect, ExtraShine, and Sanitize options on, and turn on intensive drying, you'll basically turbocharge your Bosch, but energy efficiency will be out the window.To each his own. Before I had this Bosch, I had TWO top-of-the-line $1,000+ KitchenAids, because I'd been taught that American dishwashers dried better, and that KitchenAid was the best. Neither lasted terribly long, and worse still: The racks literally melted and fell apart over time. Before that, I had a GE that lasted maybe 6 years. I went through 3 dishwashers but at least 4 or 5 sets of racks before switching to Bosch. My Bosch 800 is now 8 years old and every component is like new. I have minor usability beefs about it, but it's honestly the only dishwasher I've ever loved.

PS at the time I purchased mine, I concluded that the guts of the 500 and 800 series were identical. I went with the 800 series mainly because the mechanical buttons on the 500 series looked like they would be more fragile, and more prone to fading and looking like crap after a number of years. But unless things have changed, the 500 is the value sweet spot.

I have the 800. Without the rinse solution, it essentially doesn't dry a damn thing.

I know I'll get a lot of hate for this, but I despise my Bosch 800. I wish I never bought it.

It doesn't dry unless you spend additional money on other products, which is absurd.
The dish drawers have everything spaced waaaay to close together. So it's really freaking hard to fit things in it. Like, if your plates anything other than super flat, you're going to have issues. Deep bowls do not fit in this dishwasher at all. Period.
I have to dry all my dishes when it's done washing, because I refuse to buy additional products for a premium product, and the auto air does nothing.
Since all the plates are together so close, it doesn't wash them well. I consistently have to rewash dishes as soon as they come out of the wash (yes, I pre rinse them).

And is it quiet? Not really. It's is definitely quieter than the 20 year old unit it replaced. But I never thought that old unit was loud or distracting to begin with...so the loudness isn't really something to care about. I have old pipes, so I still hear the Bosch taking in water and flushing it around.

All in all, I despise it. If anybody in NJ wants to buy mine from me, please get in touch. I genuinely miss my 2004 KitchenAid that this replaced.

EDIT: forgot to mention that the upper rack, that is meant for cups, has issues holding cups. If it's anything taller than a whisky glass, it will not fit and rub against the top utensil rack.
Basically, any cup over 5 inches or so will not fit and have to be placed on the bottom rack...taking away space from all your plates and bowls (and the bowls won't fit, as mentioned before).

I'm going to disagree with the Crystal Dry downvotes. I own a three year old 800 series with Crystal Dry and it dries better than any Kitchenaid, GE, Whirlpool or Electrolux (DON'T BUY THIS) d/w I've ever owned. I use Cascade Platinum packs and refill the JetDry whenever the light comes on. I also run the hot water at my sink for about twenty seconds before starting the d/w.

Also, I've been selling appliances for 13+ years. You will not go wrong if you purchase the 800 series and do what I do. I've also had nobody complain about the AutoAir on the 500 series. Both are great dishwashers.

Also ALSO, ALL dishwashers will take 2+ hours per cycle on the Auto cycle. If you use the one hour cycle, there is no drying and they will be loud.

These are both at really good prices. If you've been tempted and are a Costco member, pull the trigger.

Unless you must buy from Costco for free installation/haul away or whatever, there's no reason to purchase this 2022 model over 2023's model.

Especially when BB has the new model on sale for cheaper
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/bosc...Id=6542977

Not sure the hate for the 800 lol I've had mine for half a year and it's a huge upgrade from my old KitchenAid. You can't even tell it's running until it pumps some water out every now and then.

I personally have no problem buying RinseAid to help with drying. Yes, it adds a bit to the cost. But I have it set to use the most minimal amount of RA, and sometimes I don't even use it and just let everything air dry. If you don't use RA, it helps to just crack the door open a bit to help with the moisture.
That's with the pocket handle. The Costco has the bar handle for $1200 and Best Buy has it for $1215. If you'd rather get the pocket handle and want to install it yourself, Best Buy will save you $30. But you probably still need to buy an install kit unless your lines are still in excellent condition.

Bought this dishwasher last month. Be aware of your current dishwasher setup. The tech came out and listed a laundry list of problems in regards to why he couldn't do the install and offered up me a quote. The problem were that the outlet underneath my sink was not GFCI (my old dishwasher was hardwired, he was looking at the garbage disposal) the water shut off valve didn't close all the way and he said I should replace the air gap. So instead of an easy peasy install I sent him on his way and spent the rest of the afternoon rerouting the hardwire under my sink, installing a GFCI outlet, replacing the airgap and replacing my shutoff valve. Sooo if you have an old kitchen, beware that the simple install might turn into a pricey quote
Was this installation through Costco?

Just a word of caution for anyone buying this. Bosch is the only manufacturer that has a plug on their dishwashers. Unless you currently have an outlet for that specific circuit, you either need to use their hardwire adapter which is separate and from many reviews a fire hazard as it's defective. I plan to install an outlet on that circuit to eliminate that fire hazard, and that would need to be done before installation. Normally dishwashers are on their own circuit as they pull 12 amps, and using a plug from your garbage disposal outlet could lead to constant tripping of the breaker

I've had an 800 for 10 years. Solid dishwasher that holds a TON of dishes that get perfectly clean if loaded properly.
Same. I bought my 800 in 2014. I have the controls on the front and the lettering is starting to fade pretty bad on the ON/OFF and the start "buttons". My racks are now starting to rust in several spots. All of the tines are still on solid but it's only a matter of time. Anyway, the dishwasher is for a family of 6 and used almost every day. I ended up buying new racks on eBay for $200. There are several sellers parting out new damaged 800's. Might be a good time to buy them if you need them. The new control board facia is $150 though… almost to the point that I should just buy a new dishwasher but I'm hoping to get another 5 years out of this thing. It still cleans great without any prewashing. I do occasionally clean it and I've always used it with a water softener. I also have a 2.5gallon water heater under the sink for instant hot water. It's high temperature water that makes the Bosch clean so well. I'm sure having that water heater right there helps but the Bosch has its own internal heater AFAIK.

To note on this deal, If this is the model with the internal water softener and you already have a whole house water softener ask yourself if it really provides any benefit and if it is worth replenishing the salt in it. I was looking to buy the top of the line Bosch dishwasher when I purchased mine but when I started looking at it it was just greater cost and maintenance with no benefit. Going from 42 to 38 db is not going to be noticeable. Actually, the 42db is almost too quiet. Just my 2 cent.

Yes, but the main difference here is Costco's model is from 2022 vs BB 2023. I do find myself using PowerControl pretty often for the tough stains.

Nothing cleans better than my old GE Nautilus with phosphate cascade. It would obliterate all food, the heating element was huge and the front vent was large you could feel the steam coming out. Dishes would come out bone dry, clean, sparkling and crystal clear. No gimmicky bells and whistles and stupid government mandated energy saving or environmental bs restrictions. A simple cheap functional appliance the way it should be, and easy to fix. They were loud, so I installed my own insulation behind the toe kick cover and even in the door itself. Everything is just junk today and unnecessary. Just read the feature descriptions of these $1000 dishwasher it's comical, they're all tripping over themselves to try and do what dishwashers die better 20 yrs ago.
We recently replaced our 18 yr old g.e profile with the 800 Lowe's price mistake. The old g.e was still working but there comes a time one has to pity the wife and get her a new shiny unit. We found a good washing liquid called diamondbrite by melaleuca, a wellness co, and can't find anything else that works as well, even the phosphate cascade. It can be found in eBay if you want to try it out.

We really like the 800. A lot.

Crystal dry isn't as effective on plastics, and it certainly won't help if the backside of your bowls and cups have pools of water at the end of the wash. It works great on regular dishes, glassware, and metal.
I have the 800 series for 2+ years. Never have I had any issues with Tupperware drying out. In fact the 800 series does a much better job at drying out plastics than my previous GE Cafe dishwasher.

So he didn't want to install the junction box for the hardwired portion or did you decline it? What's the point of offering a free install if it wouldn't be honored as many folks have hardwired dishwashers.

For those with direct wired dishwashers, any recommendation for which GFCI outlet to get installed that is available at home depot/lowes? Assuming this is just a regular 3 pronged outlet we are talking about.

That's how installer works. They will do it by the code, and chrage you accordingly. So if you missing a vent hole, they won't install unless you accept them drill a hole on your counter top.
At the end of the day, I just bought directly from Home Depot, and install myself. For Home Depot the hall away your old appliances is $50 extra. If I knew Costco would have 800 on sale, I would have waited. I like the bar version better, and when you count in the hall away the price difference is less than $200. I also believe Costco will include the host connection which runs another $20, and some additional warranties.

Yeah, that makes sense. I don't mind if they are want to install the GFCI for me (i'd pay for parts) but don't want them to show up and refuse install due to lack of GFCI.

There will be a red icon that lights up when you need rinse aid. You will also notice that the estimated cycle time goes up without it.

They will install, I recall it was 300 dollar (obviously Costco contract out to the local installer), drill a vent hole was another 300... I had to refuse the installation because of it.
