Rubbish
Had this dishwasher a week and an error code appeared.
Two visits from repairman confirmed leaking sump.
New part ordered, installed today, then the power board failed.
Paid more to buy "quality", hmmmmm.
Paid more to purchase model assembled in Germany, evidently a waste of money.
Just because it's assembled in Germany doesn't mean you get quality.
Beware.

Why I purchased this dishwasher!
I first started looking at the cheaper Bosch models and was put off by the comments regarding the plastic base cracking... hence I was determined to get one with a Stainless Steel Base. Second I wanted a stainless steel exterior as it better matched our wooden kitchen cabinets. Three it was "made in Germany". It was only then after much research (which would have been made much easier if I had a simple chart of all Bosch models and their features... LATER found that a chart is in the Bosch Dishwasher Catalog... so, I suggest you ring Bosch for ...Read more
that). I was surprised to find that this model had the lowest water and energy usage of ALL 60cm models!! That's what sold me. I also decided I didn't need a cutlery draw (the knife rack and cutlery basket is all we needed... AND required less water and energy anyway). I also decided we didn't need a pre-rinse cycle (it wastes water and doesn't seem to be needed anyway even if the dishes are left for 2 or 3 days). Even though on "Auto Wash" this dishwasher takes a longer time than our old AEG, the dishes came out clean and dry. The only time they weren't clean was when I tried "Half Load"... but maybe I should have spread the dishes out more? Finally the ONE minor flaw is that we do a lot of Asian cooking and use deep rice bowls and the only place we could stack these is on the right hand side of the top rack... AND the collapsible spikes (or tines) would collapse, I only solved this problem by using a Bunning's cable tie ($1.20 for pack of 25) around the lock!! AND a Quick-Start Guide would have been good too! I purchased this from Appliances Online (AOL) with a $140 discount (voucher)... they provided free delivery and took away the packaging and old dishwasher (and, because we asked very nicely, an old HEAVY portable a/c). Thanks Andrew. I installed the dishwasher myself, just be prepared to increase the size of the hole for the hoses due to a safety device fitted to the end of the cold water inlet AND remember that it may be a little higher (2mm) and require a bit of timber to be cut in your bench top (installers may charge you extra for this). I don't expected it to last 20 years like our old AEG dishwasher, but it looks better and does do a better job of cleaning the dishes AND saves us water and energy. Thanks also to Bosch for the $100 worth of Finish dishwasher products that should last us for 12 months or more (together with the tablets we already had).

Would be excellent if it dried all the dishes!
Purchased this dishwasher to replace a 10 year old Bosch machine that had performed well but had eventually stopped working. After research decided we wanted a Bosch dishwasher made in Germany, like our old machine was, rather than Turkey in the hope we get the same years of use from it. We also wanted a model with a stainless steel bottom after reading a review that a fallen knife pierced the plastic(?) and caused a leak for one customer. We are happy how this model cleans but not how it dries items in the top basket - you still need to towel...Read more
dry all plastics and the tops of mugs. which we didn't have to do with our old Bosch dishwasher. Why have an "Extra Dry" button if it doesn't do anything? Yes, I always use Rinse Aid. One other thing to note is that it doesn't always clean the inside of bowls stacked on the bottom rack, even when I leave a gap between them. These are standard coupe bowls, not deep. The other thing I don't like is the flimsy folding plastic piece that holds knives in place on the knife tray - doesn't look like it's going to last very long. Hopefully we'll get a decade of use out of this machine as we did our previous one. Now if only it dried all the dishes!Purchased in September 2021 at The Good Guys for $1,025.00.

My First Dishwasher
I have seen other dishwasher in different homes--noise and style has been in my checklist. This dishwasher was surprisingly quiet that you wont even notice it is doing its job. The glossy finish with simple design also fits my kitchen plan. The price is also reasonable given the reliability of the brand. Self-installed.. easy as 123.

So quiet and efficient. Should have bought this sooner!
Installed on 4 July 2022 just in time for overseas visitors so perfectly timed to put this dishwasher through its paces.
The fold down spikes in the upper and lower baskets makes placement of larger dishes or pans easier while the adjustable upper basket can be raised or lowered to give more space in either basket. There's a handy knife rack too.
Have only used auto, eco, half wash, 60 and 30 minute quick wash programs so far but intend to test the speed wash and extra dry features soon. No need to prerinse, just scrape off food residue and s...Read more

Great quiet dishwasher
Great dishwasher, replacing old Bosch 8 years, this one is almost the same but much quieter
The controls are a bit more complicated, because it has more options available, I especially like the extra dry feature, it adds 10 minutes to the cycle but the dishes come out much dryer

Better than I expected!
Fantastic mid range priced dishwasher that is very quiet. I love the speed perfect option and the ability to move the utensil basket anywhere along the bottom. Although I rinse before placing in dishwasher it cleans dishes beautifully even when they have caked on food (pasta bakes and lasagne dishes). We had an issue with an error message after a couple of weeks (water in bottom of dishwasher had set off the sensor and it wouldn't work), but hubby googled the message and was able to fix it immediately.

I am a bit disappointed
My old Bosch dishwasher of 9 yrs needed repairing and decided I wanted a new one. After reading the good reviews on this model I decided to buy one. Yes it is quite but was disappointed that it left tea stains in the cups. I was using the recommended tablets and the 60 min quick wash. It also had a horrible smell when I took all the packaging off . It lasted a few days even after being used. I have only had the dishwasher for a short time so have not tried out all the programs.

More than I expected
We just bought the Bosch Series 6 SMS66JI01A. Absolutely love everything about it. Quality, efficiency & look all superseeded my expectations. It's so silent so we keep checking whether it's working or not. The dishes come out sparkling clean & super dry even when not rinsed and that's just on the 29min cycle without using the extra dry function. Even the plastic stuff comes out dry, which I've never had happen with other dishwashers. The top rack can be height adjusted for taller glassses, has cool little clips to clip smaller items into & a h...Read more
andy larger knife rack on top shelf & my favourite is the machine care function. Haven't tested out the other functions yet & haven't found any cons so far. With 11L per wash cyle & 220kw usage per year based on 365 washes, it's by far one one of the most eco efficient products on the market.Purchased in March 2021 at The Good Guys for $896.00.

Not what I was told it would do
I've just purchased a $1200 Bosch dishwasher. I was told by the sales staff I would not be able to hear the machine while it was in operation as they have one in the staff room and they don't even know its running. Also on the front of the dishwasher it clearly states Super Silent 44dB. I can assure you it is much louder than 44dB (I've checked it) and I can hear it. Bosch have said perhaps if it was full I wouldn't hear it. Maybe, but that's not what it says on the front of the machine. Could have purchased another dishwasher for around $500 for the same result. Guess I'm like a lot of other people and couldn't be bothered going through the process of having it replaced.

Great dishwasher.
It has a quality feel you expect from the price tag. Does a good job washing the dishes, quiet and the internal design allows for much more dishes than our previous dishwasher. It might cost more than some of the others but in my opinion it worth the extra. It should last longer than a $400 one and with its 5 and 4 star water and energy rating it might save the extra $$$ you spent on it.

Good wash, a little noisier in 60 min wash setting
This is my first Bosch dishwasher, and it's been a while since I've owned a dishwasher, so I decided to go for the German-made Series 6 instead of the cheaper series. It was easy to install myself, and easy to use. I appreciate that it turns on with your previous settings instead of defaulting to something else each time, and I like all the rack adjustments possible, including the three-level top rack. Everything appears to be built well, and the only slight annoyance I've had so far is how easily the bottom basket can roll past and off its tr...Read more
ack when pulled out - more an issue when empty than when heavy. Wash quality is great, you just have to follow the instructions and tips on how to place/angle stuff for best wash and dry effect. Plastics don't dry well, but metal and glass is fine - this is common to all dishwashers I think. The only way to get the claimed 220kWh low power per wash is to use the 3 hour Eco wash mode. I suspect this is also the quietest wash mode, as most other modes will use stronger sprays etc. In the 60 minute wash, some parts of the cycle do make noises you would definitely notice if in the same room, but not enough to interrupt a quiet conversation. Super wash would probably make a little more noise but we've not needed it yet. So far so good with this dishwasher. I've got no good reason to rate it less than five stars after three weeks of use, but will update this review if anything changes.1 comment

Questions & Answers
Kat1968asked
Inside this dishwasher is the base plastic or stainless steel? When I had a look in the shops there seemed to be a mixture of both.
3 answers
Mine is stainless steel.
Thanks for the quick reply - helped me decide which model to buy. Some models are made in Germany and others are not so perhaps these are the ones with the plastic bases. Read somewhere that a knife dropped down and pierced the plastic base which then resulted in a leak so I'll avoid that risk.

Hi there, I'm really interested in purchasing the SMS66JI01A dishwasher and was wondering if the depth would change at all once the top of the dishwasher is removed. The depth we have available to replace the current dishwasher is 575mm that's why. Thanks!

I am interested in the power usage as I am on solar power, and in search of the most power efficient dishwasher. I was recommended this model by HN because it runs at 600watts, is this the accurate max power in usage? Or is there a cycle that uses less power in operation, or do you have a more power efficient model available?
