I saw a demonstration on one it really works well to even dry plastics.

thanks Jakvis. did it pop open at the end?

They have 3 different types, Standard, One with a door that pops open and then the Zeolite drying system. It was the zeolite system that I saw and it was pretty amazing.

ok, thank you, Jakvis. I ordered the zeolite dry system.

Waverly6 - please report back after you have used it. I am very interested in how well this works. I will eventually replace a Dw in a second home and a Bosch with this or the model where the door pops open are my likely choices.

Probably wont be using it or have the kitchen ready until spring. I ordered it now though as its on sale until the end of this year. I love my Bosch dishwashers and would have gone with the regular dw anyway until I saw this. I'm keeping my old Bosch as well until it dies. And then I can see if I'm happy with this one to get the same one again. (kitchen will have 2 dishwashers). That being said, I'm sure it will die the day after the sale ends......

My SIL just finished building a new house and installed a 800 series with the crystaldry. It's super quiet and gets everything very dry with no spotting.

I personally don't care for the racks, especially the second and third racks. The second rack adjustment mechanism feels cheaply built and the rack doesn't slide smoothly like the higher-end American brands. She was loading some wine glasses and they didn't fit on the second rack because the third rack was in the way. The third rack is different on hers and it's not designed to hold silverware--it's designed for small items and knives only.

littlegreeny, get your sister to take a look at her manual. The 800 series 2nd rack should be height adjustable so that she can lower it a notch and fit her wine glasses.

It is adjustable, but not enough to fit those glasses. They seem pretty happy with it so far but last time I was there I grabbed a glass and it was dirty. Second glass I got was cloudy. They use Finish tabs from Costco. I wonder if they've noticed dirty items?

I have a BOL Frigidaire and use Trader Joe's powder and Lemishine rinse aid and all my dishes and glasses are spotless, smooth and shiny.

Maybe she can put them in the bottom rack? the nice thing about a Bosch is you can stick any item anywhere and it won't get wrecked due to heating elements, etc. You initially said, "It's super quiet and gets everything very dry with no spotting." But later you said her stuff is still dirty and cloudy. I'm not sure how to help troubleshoot as I am unclear where the problem is and I think we'd need more specifics to understand the issue.

That rack gliding issue is solved in some of their models - its the ”Easy Glide” feature i checked it out at Best Buy and compared it to ones without Easy Glide big difference imho

After using their dishwasher more, I have changed my opinion on the racks. They do glide pretty smoothly. The Bosch 800 series is probably my top pick for a dishwasher.
