Bosch Series 8 SBV8EDX01A

I wish there was an option for negative star ratings — this has honestly been the worst dishwasher experience ever. We’ve already paid over $1100 for repairs and have been waiting 3–4 weeks for parts to arrive. Extremely frustrating. I used to be a huge fan of Bosch dishwashers, but sadly the quality seems to have dropped significantly. I own two Bosch dishwashers and both broke down just over a year later.

Really disappointing experience overall. Save yourself the hassle and think twice before buying.

Doesn’t dry as well as expected – It’s only been a week of daily use, but so far it hasn’t been impressive. I opted for the serie 8 over the serie 6 for the extra feature where the door pops open for more efficient drying, but, it’s quite disappointing. Dishes and pans are still wet when removed from the dishwasher 6+ hours after the cycle finishes. It’s frustrating having to hand dry every mug that comes out because there’s a small pool of water sitting on the top of the base. It cleans well, however I haven’t run it through its paces with any heavily soiled pans.

The initial setup of connecting it to the app and Wi-Fi was a painstakingly long process, but after about 40 minutes and 10+ attempts, it succeeded without any errors. The features and convenience of controlling your dishwasher through an app seems greatly unnecessary, though does make it easy to delay your cycle to run during the day if you have solar.

I miss my Miele this replaced after it failed from 4 years of light daily use. It dried much more efficiently and the layout of the racks was so much more well thought out.

It does the job, just wish I went with the serie 6 to save the cash and gain the top cutlery rack instead of this useless one it came with.
