Bosch 800 vs. Benchmark: Key Takeaways
Noise Level: The Bosch 800 series operates at a low 42 dB noise level, while the Benchmark series reduces this even further to 40 dB.
EasyGlide Rack System: Both include the EasyGlide Rack system for smooth loading, but the Benchmark series features premium ball bearings for a smoother glide.
Flexible Tines: Both series feature adjustable FlexSpace Tines, but the 800 series has these on the front half of the lower rack, while the Benchmark series features them throughout the lower rack.
Water Softener: All Benchmark series models include a built-in water softener. Only select 800 series dishwashers have this feature.
Sizes: 800 series dishwashers are available in 24 and 17 ¾ inch sizes. All Benchmark series dishwashers are 24 inches wide.
Indicator Light: The 800 series uses a red dot as an indicator light, while the Benchmark series also displays the time remaining for the dishwasher cycle.
Interior Lights: The Benchmark series includes interior lights for easy loading in dim conditions, a feature the 800 series lacks.
Drying System: While all 800 series models feature CrystalDry, only three higher-end Benchmark models include it, with the rest using PureDry.
Price: The Bosch 800 series falls within a more economical price range ($1,099 to $1,499), whereas the Benchmark series, with its superior features, commands a higher price ($1,799 to $2,299).
Overall, I'd stick with a 800 if you can find one on sale. The stuff you care about is crystal dry which is in the 800 series. The 40 to 42db noise from the 800 series isn't that much louder than the 38 to 40db rating of the benchmark series. 42db is still freaking quiet, waaay quieter than the builders grade stuff you see installed in rentals. I'm a little disappointed that Bosch is going the KitchenAid route and trying to justify an extra 500 to 800 bucks for some lights, tines, and ball bearing glides.
BRAVO!!!

So what did I do? Yep you guessed it complained at Whirlpool to get a $450 dollar entry level from my now busted $800 dollar Gold Series that lasted "checks notes" till 2023 before the heater element took a crap.
Do not buy Whirlpool dishwashers or their affiliates. Been riding with Bosch since last year and my dishwasher still works like new even if it is still under Costco warranty.

Either way, KitchenAide makes some excellent models too. That's what I had before this (lasted about 8-9 years before dying).
