Regularly leaves Grit and dirt on Dishes
I bought this Bosch to replace a previous model after 5 years. I had always recommended Bosch to friends because my previous low end bosch did such a great job for its price. This Bosch however is a different matter. This unit regularly leaves a grit on the inside of cup and glasses, misses bits of plates. If there is even a hint if some tiny bit of food in one of the wash arms they will not spin which results in the arms not moving enough to dissolve tablet or wash properly, but you wont know until its finished. I now need to remove both, lowe...Read more
r and upper arm every wash to check for any food particles inside that may block a hole. Unfortunately it seems almost every wash there is something in it. I a confused how they always get there as I also clean the filter regularly. Maybe just a design fault. Overall I would definitely not recommend bosch again and am so frustrated by the quality of the result I am ready to move it on.

I mentioned that I had a Bosch dishwasher for 5 years before with no troubles. This one has same filter locking mechanism so it was the first thing I checked. Definately locked in but it still leaves grit.

Very quiet and washes extremely well.
I've only had this machine a couple of weeks, but so far so good. It's very quiet and washes everything well. I've also noticed that things are much dryer compared to my previous machine (which was a cheap Chinese machine that came with the house we bought so maybe not a great comparison!) even the plastics. I like some of the features like the shelf for longer utensils. Also a quick shout out to Appliances Online's installer who did everything quickly, efficiently, was very friendly and showed me how to use the machine. It's a good service and...Read more
costs an extra $170. I think that it would have applied if I hadn't already had a dishwasher, so perhaps the price could vary depending on whether they are replacing a machine or installing a new one (maybe it does, not sure).1 comment

My first impressions
I bought the G102A (cosmetic difference from 101A), from Good Guys on 22nd June 2018, My thanks to GG for matching the price and making this a bargain.
The dishwasher is quiet, and at 10 PM, I cannot hear it in the bedroom, 5 meters away via a door and passageway, all doors open
Compared to my 6 year old Omega, it does do better cleaning, as in when I touch the dishes I cannot feel any residue, unlike the Omega
It does not dry very well, but I don't use rinse aid, as it contains chemicals, see https://www.treehugger.com/cleaning-organizing/w...Read more

Instructions are hopeless can't even youtube this dishwasher on how to use the cycles ???

Excellent, reliable
I recently moved into a new house to a different branded dishwasher after previously owning a Bosch at my old house. I tried really hard to like the new dishwasher, but hated the set up inside, the dials and the flimsiness of it. It never washed the dishes very well either! After a couple of months, I couldn't cope any more and ended up persuading my husband that we needed another bosh. Decided to buy this model and I love it! It has a great shelf for knives or large utensils and the cutlery basket can be moved so it can accomodate different sized pans etc. It washes so well. Very happy!

The best dishwasher I have used
I bought this machine after 2018 new year, it is quite as advertised. I need a quite dishwasher because I want it wash my dishes after babies went to sleep, I don't want to wake them up. This dishwasher only have a big noise(compare to when it's washing) at the point of starting draining, but the noise is just for one second. Otherwise, all quite. Thank you Bosch for bring us a fabulous product!

What you’d expect from Bosch
I had a Bosch dishwasher years ago but replaced it with an integrated dishwasher when I got a new kitchen. I bought this to replace the integrated one and it’s a perfect size and quality I got from my first Bosch. It’s quiet, short cycle and cleans well. Only issue is that even when using extra dry feature, the plastics are still wet. Also I am finding how best to place certain light dishes as it’s quite powerful and has lifted some of the lighter plastic dishes up while washing.

Great dishwasher but only when using powerball tabs
We bought this based on many reviews from appliances online and went for the Series 4 as it's middle of the range and had all the features we wanted. This mostly cleans well, but doesn't clean bowls on bottom rack (i've found putting them top rack, 2 rungs apart works), and deep pans tend to come out with inner base still dirty. It works a hell of a lot better with the Finish power ball tablets than with any powder which makes running costs a bit more expensive. It's pretty quiet but this isn't an issue for us anyhow as nowhere near bedrooms. T...Read more
he rack configuration is good. Bottom back racks fold down for pots/pans, cutlery basket can be placed anywhere down the bottom, and up top has spots for wine glasses and rods to hold stuff in place. Overall worth the price and considering we put everything in it, does a great job. Good when used with tablets, so-so when used with powder.1 comment

Best dishwasher I have ever owned!
This is the best dishwasher I have ever owned, it simply does what it is supposed to do, every time! The best part about it is the quick wash function, 29mins and ALL the dishes are clean. I have thrown everything at it and it is yet to disappoint. The only thing it seems to struggle with is drying Tupperware stuff, however I am yet to use the extra dry function or any function other than quick. True to name it doesn't leave fingerprints on the front, which is modern and quite stylish. It is extremely quiet, coming from my old dishwasher when I...Read more
first turned it on I thought it wasn't working! It has room enough to fit everything, I also love that it has a cutlery basket that can be moved to sit anywhere on the bottom draw. Overall, it is a dishwasher worthy of the name!1 comment

Thrilled wiht purchase, Quiet, Efficient and Easy to Use
This is our second Bosch dishwasher purchased and we are very, very happy with this purchase once again.
Quiet and washes dishes so efficiently
Cannot recommend a Bosch dishwasher highly enough
Quick washes are just as effective as the longer ones
Love the stainless steel fascia and is very easy to clean filter

Perfect Dishwasher by Bosch
Over the years I have lived in homes with Dishwashers and found many bad designs & faulty units that cost to much to consider repairing them. Thus I research the Bosch Range and choose the Bosch SMS46GI01A Dishwasher. Quality is incredible and it quietly washes up everything perfectly. Installing it under the bench was easy however you may need to enlarge the hole in the side of the kitchen cabinet to attach the water supply hose as it is fitted with:- The AquaStop™ Plus system consists of a double-walled supply hose, a safety valve. The safty valve is a great idea however I needed to make the hole in the cabinet slightly bigger to accomodate the safty valve. No problem to accomodate the best dishwasher I have ever used.

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?

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.

Why do my glasses come out cloudy

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.
