Hadn't even heard of it. Here's some information on this new drying feature on upper-end Bosch dishwashers.
Who'd have thought that providing heated, moving air at the end of a dishwasher cycle would help dishes get dry?😂 Some of us are old enough to remember having to open the door to let the dishes cool down for awhile before you could even handle them.

Ummmmmmm........
Let's see.... Wasn't there a Company named Hobart that made a dishwasher called I think KitchenAid back in the 50's that had the feature of a fan and heater to dry dishes called Flo Thru Drying ? And these Geniuses think they're onto something ? Just like musicians... Remaking Old songs. Zheeeeeeeesh. |

I don't mean to knock Bosch; they make a great dishwasher. A neighbor across the street has one from the 800 Series and he loves it. He says it does a great job on pots and pans. I've been over there when it's running and it's even quieter than my 2014 TOL GE back at the house. Truly almost silent.
Even though those of us who have been around for awhile can poke fun at these "new" developments, I'm glad Bosch is at least addressing the issue of poor drying with good old-fashioned heat and moving air. I use only the 1-hour cycle on my noisy Whirlpool portable, which has no drying period. The 'Clean' light comes on as soon as the final rinse water has drained. I just push it back to its spot and open the door a few inches. Fifteen to twenty minutes later things are dry for the most part. Not plastics, of course, but everything else is good-to-go. Having said that, it's nice to be provided the option of choosing to have the dishes (including plastics) completely dry when you open the door at the end of the cycle. |

My Bosch 800 Series does a pretty darn good job of drying especially if I use the Extra Dry option. I wonder why it's taken them so long to introduce this concept here? Is it because there seems to be a real focus the past few years on how dishwashers dry the dishes? Seems many of the big manufacturers are now touting how well their machines dry the dishes. How long do these minerals last? Do they have to be replaced at some point? |

I am a new owner to a Bosch 300 series DW! The drying performance is fine and everything comes out sparkling clean and dry. I use the finish jet dry! I knew when I purchased this DW it doesn't utilize a drying heater and it is dependent on a rinse aid! Even the dishwashers with utilize heating dry cycles have had complaints about drying! So far I am a Happy :) Bosch owner without Crystal Dry!

Louis, Alex and Henrik: In defense of the commentary in my first post (Reply #1) as well as the comments in Replys 2-4, here's the paragraph from the CNET article I linked in Reply #1.
"New high-end (Bosch) models will be getting a feature called CrystalDry starting this fall, which heats the moisture in the dishwasher after a run to 176 degrees Fahrenheit. The hot air is then circulated gently to heat away the water remaining on the dishes." It says nothing of the technology which makes that system work; merely that air warmed to 176 degrees is circulated to dry the dishes. Thanks to original poster Mark, who in Reply #5, and Henrik in Reply #8 provided specific information as to how the 176 degree air is circulated to dry the dishes.

I’m sure that a sanitize rinse and crystaldry combined would guarantee everything is dry. |
