So far so good, but customer service could be better
I purchased my dishwasher earlier this month. Installation was a little tricky (the installation guide resembles an ikea assembly manual) and took longer than expected. The machine washes well and is very quiet. However, my machine came with the rinse aid door warped. I have contacted the Bosch support via email and telephone and am yet to hear from anyone. If anyone from Bosch is watching this page, please contact me.

Great value for money
Good hard working dishwasher. Very quiet operation. Cleans dishes and glasses well. Started using the delay start option to run in off peak to save power costs and it is great.

Fantastic and easy to use dishwasher.
Bosch is well known for it's brand but I used this website to decide whether or not to buy one and i'm glad I did. It is easy to use, easy function settings and you can't tell that it's on because it's relatively quiet. No complaints from me here!

Rubbish
Waste water pump broken only after 7 months upon purchase. Not happy with the quality of the product and feel I have been ripped off. There is no option to return the product, instead I have to wait for a repairer to come out and I have no idea when that will be, as the information provided was very ambiguous.

Can't handle dirty dishes
Had this for nearly 2 years. Sick of the error message if even the smallest bit of food gets past the filter.
I must get the error message at least once a month, then I have to reach into the filthy dishwasher water to look for any food stuck in there. There's never anything substantial. Our old dishwasher, different brand, could handle anything you threw at it. We had it for 7 years and never had anything like the number of error messages we get with the Bosch.

best dishwasher
The first time I used this it was so quiet I didn't think it was running. I have to see the red light is on to know that it is running. It cleans well not over the top but I have no complaints . The best thing is how quiet it is.

Happy with the purchase.
So far this unit has performed as well as we had expected and it does it quietly compare to our old unit, but it is not silent. On the unit it says supersilence, but it is quite audible to me even with my very poor hearing, so that is a little disappointing.
There are a good range of options that are not complicated which makes the unit easy to use.
Insatllation was more difficult that I had expected. The so called information sheet, a half page piece that had no detailed information, was not very helpful. No mention was made of the plastic pie...Read more

We love this dishwasher!!
We didn't choose our dishwasher personally, it was purchased via the builder of our home in April 2018. We did have a fault with the dishwasher in February 2022 however, we submitted a warranty claim with Bosch and they attended to the repairs immediately and efficiently. They are very easy to work with. The dishwasher itself is a dream! It has good timing on its (we mostly use the 35 minute mode), it's quiet, it cleans really well and it also drys the dishes perfectly too (we put on the dishwasher just before we head to bed, so by morning, o...Read more
ur dishes are dry and ready to be put away). The machine is also really easy to clean, we pull out the filter every 3 months and give it a good rinse under hot water and return it to the dishwasher. This is the second Bosch dishwasher we have ever owned and to be honest, I don't think we'd ever have any other brand. We've always been happy with the Bosch brand and this is just another product we would happily recommend for other people.Purchased in April 2021 at Harvey Norman for $1,199.00.

Replacement and love it
This dishwasher replaced my old favourite and I love it the racks are easily folded down for bigger items, it’s not too noisy and it cleans to sparkle! I never have any food residue it’s easy to set with multiple settings the cycles are longer than my previous one but it has a quick wash and by always adding rinse aid it can lessen time on all cycles I have a family of 5 and I run it once a day but you can set and forget it also has a lock so no little fingers can disturb it, it’s also very nice too look at and easy to clean, I recommend this dishwasher I’m very happy with it.

Very happy with my new dishwasher
I have had my dishwasher in stalled for 2 weeks now. I had it delivered and installed when I ordered through www.appliancesonline.com.au (with my old dishwasher also taken away). The model I purchased was Bosch Silence 4 - SuperSilence 46dB, Model number: SMU46GS01A/13.
Living alone I probably use it maximum 2 times a week and I do pre-wash my dishes. I have only used the 'Quick 29 min' cycle so have not experimented much. The machine is quiet when running and the dishes are coming out clean.
I am not too keen on the internal layout. I...Read more
t is more sideways layed out, compared to the old clunker that I had which was back to front layout. The cutlery basket included is large in width so the sides bang into the 2 sides where dishes are meant to be stacked? I've started using my old dishwasher's cutlery basket. Some photos included inside the manual of actual dishes inside the dishwasher layout would be great included inside the manual. The manual the dishwasher came with seems to also refer to other Bosch models so it's not just focussed on what I have bought. As for noise it is very quiet compared to the clunker (another brand) that I had before. Am I happy with my purchase - yes I am, it's doing the job that I require for my myself.

Much better than the Bellini it replaced!
We purchased this machine to replace a 2 year old Bellini that developed a fault. That was enough for us to chuck it out because it wasn't very good anyway.
We took delivery of the new Bosch DW today and we are more than satisfied. It is virtually silent in operation. Even water filling was quiet. It did a superb job of cleaning on its first load. The time taken to clean was great... started out around 1h25m on Auto but this reduced using the speed perfect function.
The only minor gripe we have is the installation manual. All pictures and no words. One task had us calling the Bosch 24x7 number for help but they saw us right within minutes,

Amazing value for money
After chatting to the Bosch account manager in the store, he assured me the cleaning capacity between all series ( 4,6 and 8) is nearly identical. What you pay extra for in the higher series are accessories.
I purchased the series 4 and it does an absolutely amazing job. Dishes have always been clean, even putting in the dirtiest and greasiest oven dishes, they come out clean.
The machine itself is easy to use and very easy to clean.
There is some adjustability in the config inside but that's fairly limited. Not an issue as the machine is very...Read more

Good reasonable priced Dishwasher
This replaced a 14 year old Miele, once you get used to the item layout and explore the various cycles you will find it to be a good dishwasher. I was surprised how effective the short wash cycle was for lightly soiled items. The more intense cycles are very effective.

Nice but the soap dispenser doesn't open
Brand new
The soap dispenser has only opened about 3 times out of probably 30 uses so far.
Switched to gel, same thing.
Super clean inside, always pre-rinsed. Still get clean dishes with just the hot water though!

Realy efficient dishwasher
We bought our Bosch dishwasher in 2015. I use it probably 3 times a day. The features that I like very much are: classy look, no noise, and user friendly. I mostly use the short cycle for my day to day dishwashing and I am super happy with it. Bosch has always been our first choice for most electrical goods.

This dishwasher is ten times better than my previous old one, most of the baked on cheese even comes off without needing any pre-rinse. I love the cutlery draw but it does mean that the middle shelf is not as tall and not all glasses fit (definitely no wine glasses).

Questions & Answers
carolvw1asked
Hi to ensure the warranty remains valid, do you need to have the new dishwasher installed by a tradesperson or can you do it yourself?
1 answer
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Carolvw1,
Thanks for the question regarding your Bosch SMS46GI01A.
As long as the installation instructions are followed there would be no ramifications to the warranty coverage. If something goes wrong and it is related to the installation, that is not covered by the warranty, regardless of who installed it or the age of the appliance.
If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744.

Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Sue,
Thanks for the question regarding your Bosch SMS46GI01A.
There are a number of reasons for this to occur. We would recommend making sure the detergent is suitable and that the glasses are dishwasher safe. Some rinse aid can also help along with a hotter cycle.
