The 800 Series is Bosch's premium counter-depth play, and it does sit flush with cabinetry like it promises, but the 72-inch height requirement is a real problem: most standard openings top out at 70 inches, so measure twice before you fall in love. The bigger question is value. Current USA-made models dropped the salt water softener that came on older German units (unclear if that mattered day-to-day), and Hisense sells a nearly identical fridge for half the price with the same internals under a different badge. If the Bosch name and the fit work for your kitchen, it's a solid choice; if you're counting dollars or your ceiling is standard height, the math gets harder to justify.
A top-freezer with thoughtful design, a soft-freeze bin that keeps ice cream scoopable, three produce drawers instead of one chaotic crisper, fingerprint-resistant steel that actually works, but the through-door ice and water system fails catastrophically on multiple units straight from the factory. One owner logged five service calls in the first month with no fix; another's dispenser died on day one. The refrigeration itself seems sound, so if you're willing to forgo the convenience features entirely and use ice trays, you sidestep the trouble. But paying full price to gamble on whether your unit functions is a raw deal. Buy only if you plan to ignore the dispenser from the start or have the stamina to demand a replacement.
