Let’s talk a little about the Bosch and Asko dishwashers. Both dishwashers wash dishes without the worry of pre-washing your dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Both feature a European Design. Neither comes with a food disposal. They come with easy access filters that need to be cleaned out periodically. Both are extremely quiet. These two dishwashers are fairly similar in features and design, making it difficult to choose which one is the best option for you. Here we discuss a little more in-depth about the features that make these two dishwasher perfect candidates for your next dishwasher purchase.

With the Bosch 800 Series dishwasher, the family member in charge of cleanup will genuinely appreciate the mighty machine. The SHX878ZD5N has a metal flexible third rack allowing you to maximize on space while offering a dedicated place for each of your items. The 800 Series holds 16 place settings so cleanup is a breeze even after hosting a big dinner party. The best appliance is one you hardly know is there. With a rating of 39-dBA, this dishwasher powerfully cleans your dishes to sparkling perfection without interruption. The Bosch unit is constructed with a stainless-steel tub making it more durable and longer-lasting than plastic while also retaining heat better for higher water and drying temperatures.  It features 2 spray arms and 6 wash cycles so you can give dishes the personalized wash they need. The Bosch 800 Series dishwasher also features advanced energy-efficient technologies reducing overall electric costs and water consumption.

An Asko dishwasher can transform the way you do your dishes, from conserving water to thoroughly cleaning dirty pots and pans. The ASKO DBI675THXXLS Fully Integrated dishwasher has a center-style removable third rack to maximize on space and flexibility for items like utensils, bowls, and cups. The 50 series holds 17 place settings, just one above the Bosch 800 Series dishwasher, giving you the confidence to tackle clean-up after hosting a Thanksgiving feast. With a rating of 40-dbA, the Asko 50 Series is very comparable to the Bosch 800 Series in sound level and will function without interruption so you can get back to hosting your dinner party or binge-watching on Netflix. This unit also features a welded stainless steel interior tub to maximize heat and durability, and uses high-quality steel for eight of the most important components like the loading racks, spray pipe, spray arms, and more. It has 2 spray arms and 9 cleaning zones so you can wash all different kinds of dishes in the same load.
