2 comments

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.
Can you link the model number?
Not OP, but I googled bosch 800 series, the pics have a "speed 60" cycle: https://www.bosch-home.ca/en/shop-products/SHXM78Z55N#/
Not only is it discontinued, but it doesn't seem to have info. on when it was introduced. Can you link a model that is confirmed to predate November 2020?
> Not only is it discontinued,

It's well available at retailers in Canada. I could go purchase one this afternoon.

The product manual mentions a revision to the power cord made in September 2020, so that product predates nov 2020.

How is that relevant to the fact that the manufacturer has discontinued it?

Retailers can sell products they have in stock even if they are no longer manufactured.

Looking at the instruction manual it's clear that both the 'Express' and 'Speed60' modes are skipping some steps of the cleaning process as it says:

Normal

Recommended for daily, regular or typical use to completely wash a full load of normally soiled dishes.

Speed60®

Cleans freshly soiled dishes with easy to remove soils. This cycle reduces cycle time while still including drying.

Express

Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces overall wash time. Use this cycle to clean glasses and dessert dishware that may need to be reused at the same event.

You were asking for a machine to wash dishes in an hour with a dishwasher available between 2010 and 2020. This machine clearly fits that bill. Now you want something that is also available now (but not from a store only from the brand's website), and it needs to use an identical cleaning cycle to the normal mode.

You've moved the goalposts so far they're onto an entirely different field here.
