Why does a 1 hour cycle wash better than a two hour cycle? This article is pretty light on details.

[MichaelZuo]

It allows for two runs after a long dinner during normal waking hours, as opposed to just one.

I get that, and I believe most dish washers have an "express cycle" that'll run in significantly less time when you need.

Not for any residential, standard 24" below the counter, dishwasher sold in the U.S. after 2010 and before October 2020 that I've seen, hence why it was a noteworthy change.

This is definitely not true. I have 2012 and 2017 dishwashers that each have this. They also wash just fine. Really not sure what the article is on about.

Bosch 800-series reporting in, ~6-8 years old (~2015): Standard cycle: 2h09m, "Save Time": 1h30m, Express: 30m.

I love my Bosch washer. Bought one for my house, my rentals, my cottage. Whisper quiet and food is never stuck on the dishes after a load - unless someone packs the unit wrong.

[MichaelZuo]

Can you link the model number?

[SECProto]

Not OP, but I googled bosch 800 series, the pics have a "speed 60" cycle: https://www.bosch-home.ca/en/shop-products/SHXM78Z55N#/

SHXN8U55UC/07

Hmm. My kitchenaid dishwasher from that time period has an express cycle. Maybe it wasn't a new model at the time?

[MichaelZuo]

You should double check if the express cycle actually attains the same cleaning performance, because that would be pretty surprising.

I did see examples when shopping that were in advertisement only. i.e. the 'express cycle' skipped something, the drying stage, or rinse stage(s), etc.

I have a 2016 Bosch SHX65T55SS (USA model) that offers a 40 minute Express cycle. We use it all the time. Works great.

[MichaelZuo]

According to the bosch-home.com website this model does not exist anywhere, the closest is SHX65T55UC, are you sure you didn't misread the label?

[joezydeco]

I grabbed that SKU off my Abt invoice but it's actually a SHX65T55UC/07 per the door label. It's a 500 series model. SKUs change all the time, especially after 7 years.
