My Bosch has a 30 minute express cycle which I find really handy. It pre-washes for a minute and then you can hear a forceful pre wash for about 30 seconds then cuts back to normal, the whole process is about 3 or 4 minutes. Then it drains and goes into a wash cycle for about 10-12 minutes followed by a drain and rinse, the final drain starts at 28 minute mark and the final minute is just to let everything drip off.
It works really well for lightly soiled dishes , pots and pans etc.. When I'm done baking I just put the mixer bowls, dough hook, other bowls, spoons etc in there while whatever is baking,, do a general cleanup and voila everythings pretty much done and clean. You wouldn't do a Bob Load using it. I imagine you could with the 60 minute quick wash because it probably has longer and more rinses. |

I have a BOSCH 800 Series and this was what I could find in the User Manual. I couldn't find any explanation of whether or not it sprays harder but it looks like the default amount of water is more than the minimum on the other cycles except heavy. I suspect that is because it must not use the soil sensor in the Speed60 cycle. I am guessing more water means it sprays harder. I have used the Speed60 cycle a few times and have also been pleased with it on a lightly soiled load.
Lately though I have become really spoiled by the heavy cycle because my loads are generally pretty dirty and I don't pre-rinse. I was using Auto most of the time but the Heavy uses hotter water and the dishes come out with that squeaky feel that I don't get on other cycles even using the Sanitize additional option. It does use more water so I suspect it sprays harder too and the overall cycle time isn't that much longer. |

Tom, you are right. The machine does clean really well on Auto. I've used Auto the first couple of years we've had this machine and been happy with the results. Then I ran Heavy on an especially challenging load. It was then that I noticed they seemed cleaner to me. It's that squeaky kind of feeling when you unload the machine. I don't get it on Auto. I must be because the wash water is a little hotter and it uses a little more water in the wash on the Heavy cycle. The temps in the rest of the sequences are pretty much the same. I also always use the Sanitize and Extra Dry regardless which cycle I use.
I remember as a kid my Mom always used that 180 degree SaniCycle in her Kitchen Aid. When you unloaded the dishwasher you could feel that squeaky kind of clean. For whatever reason I really like to feel that when I unload the machine. I know it's unnecessary but it's the little things in life..........:) |
