The Bosch 800 Series is the community's most-recommended dishwasher, praised for whisper-quiet operation, excellent cleaning, and CrystalDry performance. The 300 Series offers the same core Bosch quality at a lower price point.
If you want one dishwasher that the community and experts both agree on, it's Bosch 800 Series. Real owners rave about it constantly — 'best piece of equipment I've owned in 40 years' is not an unusual sentiment.
“My 800 is a tank. No issues. Never feel like it didn't do an excellent job at washing and drying.”

“Last night a pan had some food burned on that would not come off after scrubbing, soaking, and scrubbing some more with a scrubbie and dish soap. Just for fun, I put it in the dishwasher and ran it. That dishwasher removed gunk that would not come off using a scrubbie.”

“Cleaning performance is legit. PrecisionWash type behavior is noticeable, since the sprayed-on oatmeal bowls and coffee cups came out clean without pre scrubbing. Noise level is the standout: it's basically whisper quiet, and you depend on the InfoLight to know it's running.”
