Recently I wrote about Replacing Instead of Repairing a Dishwasher based on the cost of repair versus putting that money money towards a new dishwasher. I'm usually a fan for using cars and appliances until they are beyond repair. For example, I drive a 2003 F-150, which I have been repairing instead of replacing.
We have bought a Bosch 800 dishwasher to replace a Bosch 800 dishwasher from 2016. For reference, I received no compensation for this post.
Even though our replaced dishwasher was working well, I've noticed that our new dishwasher cleans much better. Significant changes have been made to the lower spray arm are such that pots and pans are much cleaner than our previous dishwasher did. The improvement is a multi armed spray device that can focus on extra soiled pots and pans.
In addition, the new dishwasher seems to dry out washed items much better that the replaced dishwasher. One reason is we are now using Jet Dry from the very start. In our previous dishwasher, we didn't start using Jet Dry until last year, even though the instructions said to use. As with our previous dishwasher, the new one is extremely quiet.
The dishwasher has many more options than we use. Although the dishwasher has several cycle choices, we typically only use the Auto cycle. The new dishwasher can be connected to an app via the Internet, but we do not to use that feature.
Overall, we are very happy with the new purchase.

Curious if you still had to configure the "cloud settings" in order to get it working...even if you don't plan on using it...
Jeff Geerling published a video about his experience with a similar washer:

Fortunately, the dishwasher works without configuring the "cloud settings." We just don't have access to the features that require the app. I am disappointed that "machine clean" only has app access. We would use that at least once a month. Otherwise, we would rarely or never use the other app settings.
