Best ever
Had this for coming up to a year. Had another well know 2 draw dishwasher prior to this. That was useless. This is in a different league. Adequate for a family of four. Great loading space. Great washing of dishes too. Also drys very well too. Went for the bosch for the german engineering side of things. So far so good. Trouble free. 10 out of 10 from me.

Works Perfectly
This is a great dishwasher, it might not be the highest in the range but it's very effective and quiet too. It allows for larger plates to fit in the bottom shelf and the top shelf has good size proportion, the results are excellent every time and especially like the VarioSpeed function. I personally just use the auto setting on most cycles as this seems to do the job well. Not sure why the dishwasher is advertised as 'anti-fingerprint stainless steel finish' as it always accumulates fingerprints, anyway not a big deal. Would recommend this dishwasher.

Brand new with mould growth inside
Bought a brand new SMS40E08AU but delivered with mould growth inside the dishwasher. BOSCH says they tested every unit at their factory. But not a good excuse to let it be wet inside and let mould growing inside. Hard to get rid of the mould once they are inside. Can spread to seal etc. It's also a health concern.

Last Bosch appliance I will buy
Like other reviewers I have found this Bosch dishwasher works really well...for about 2 years. After this the dishwasher is now constantly flooding and the drain pump doesn't empty the dishwasher. There is a simple hack involving removing the water,cleaning the filter, taking the dishwasher out from its built it position and tilting it to reset the drain. About an hour or so to do. Saves on service calls but to be honest I have had two Fisher and Paykel and one AEG dishwashers before that NEVER flooded. There are better machines than this out there.

Bosch SMS40E08AU Dishwasher
I purchased this item from Appliances online for my brother and I received the Dishwasher the next day.
We could not use the dishwasher due to a Fault with the Rinse Aid reservoir. I poured in the rinse aid and at the same time it was pouring out of the back of the plastic reservoir. Appliances online had a new replacement unit the next day.
I told Bosch that I would not accept a technician repair as I did not pay for a faulty item. I also told bosch customer service to sort out their quality control issues.

Very Quiet
Very happy with this dishwasher. Cleans well and is quiet. Took a while to get used to as we had our last dishwasher for 16 years but it is easy to use and everything comes out sparkling. We mostly use the quick wash cycle but it's also great on pots and pans.

Great value for money
Very happy with this dishwasher. Purchased through appliances online. It does everything it claims too. It doesn’t have a digital dial, but I don’t think that effects it’s functionality. Dishes always come out clean and dry. Good value for money, definitely recommend if you don’t want to fork out a fortune.

Does a great job
Best dishwasher I have owned. Super effective every time. Not fancy, but definitely gets the dishes clean and does a great job on greasy pots and pans. Can be a bit noisy, and does not show how long remaining on the cycle, but if you don't need those functions then this one is awesome.

Totally satisfying and recommendable!
Don’t have to worry about utensils anymore! Cleans so well that never have to look back without making any noises. Different features including rapid wash and will definitely recommend others as I already have got it for my other friends who just got their house built. Cleans every bit with no doubt!

Great while it worked
This dishwasher worked really well and I loved it, but only lasted 3 years and after paying a lot for a call out technician I was advised the Powerboard in the machine was dead. Total costs to fix (parts, labour and original call out fee) went above the cost of a new dishwasher.
Disappointed that a reputable brand dishwasher would only last 3 years (and of course was out of warranty). Same thing happened to my friend (we bought them at the same time) so I won't buy this brand again even though all my kitchen appliances are Bosch. :(

Bullet proof
I've owned and installed 2 of these in separate houses. Ran them on average 4-5 times per week for years and not once did they not wash perfectly. Glassware always came out gleaming. Onto my 3rd in a new home. For the price they are excellent value for.oney. No blockages or blown hoses.Surprisingly quiet and not intrusive. Have bought from Good Guys and Harvey Norman.

Does its job, Quiet
We had this dishwasher installed after our previous one broke down. Our old one was an old Bosch and this is significantly better. Its quiet and the dishes come out looking great. You need to open the door when the cycle is done otherwise it quickly becomes smelly and you need to rewash the dishes.
The rack is nice for a few dishes but we find the shapes do not conform well to some of our dishes (pasta bowls, large bowls). It sits plates and cups/mugs quite nicely
The buttons feel cheap and are not responsive. No click, no beep, just a soft ...Read more

The dishwasher cleans my dishes and difficult pots wonderfully. Unfortunately the drying process is a little slow and I either have to leave the dishes in there for awhile or grab a tea towel.The machine is also noisier than expected. Still very happy with her and a good value for money investment.

Absolutely Great Dishwasher
We replaced a very crumby Fisher and Paykel with this beauty. What an change! No more cling ons and weird food scraps. The Germans don't muck around and this thing does a fantastic job. I knew first wash that it was streets in front of the old one. It runs quietly and is very water efficient. The menus are clear and logical (thanks Germans) and it looks good in the Kitchen. Really good unit.

Dish Washing Hands No Longer!!!!!
Love this dishwasher, my best kitchen buddy ever. Brought this just over 9 months ago and I still smile every time I walk into the kitchen. Very quite, I love the quick wash cycle perfectly cleans the breaky dishes in less than half an hour. Dries really well, except for the plastic but if you leave the door ajar they dry in no time. So happy with this product we are just about to purchase one for our daughters home.

I have just purchased a new Bosch dishwasher after having one in my last house for the past 6 years. I would only ever use a Bosch dishwasher as I find it is the only one that cleans my dishes properly and has a great range of clean cycles. I look forward to using my new one in my new house!

Lovely quiet simple dishwasher
This is a simple dishwasher that does the job in typical German efficiency. It was so quiet when I first bought it, wasn't sure if it was running or not. It replaced a big old Aussie Dishlex.
Cutlery basket is good and filters are easily removed and cleaned.
Drying was an issue to start with but I changed the settings as per page 19 on the manual.

Drain pump motor noisy in 3.5years!!...expect more from a Bosch product :(
Bought the dishwasher from Harvey Norman in Nov 2014 for $1000 and was really happy with the performance. The filter unit was cleaned on a weekly basis and I made sure no food scraps or debris was left on the dishes even if I had to rinse the dishes a bit before the wash. The unit has now started emanating a whining noise (I suspect) during the drain cycle...it's not loud at this point but I guess it's just a matter of time!!! The unit comes with a 2 year warranty coverage :(

Is there a Rinse Only Program on this Dishwasher?
3 answers
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Bruce,
Thanks for your question regarding the Bosch SMS40E08AU.
There is a Pre Rinse program on your appliance. The symbol is shown on page 18 of your user manual. If you don't have it you can download it here: https://www.bosch-home.com.au/productlist/dishwashers/freestanding-dishwashers/dishwasher-60-cm-wide/SMS40E08AU#/Tabs=tab-3185783/
If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744.

I think that I did not provide the correct Model No.
The Dishwasher I am referring to is the following--Super Silence 44dB Series 6, so the User Manual you provided me is not the correct one. According to the User Manual that I have applicable to this Model does not spell out if it has a Pre- wash Program. Please tell me where it is if I am wrong and where I can find it.. Thanks for your assistance Regards Bruce
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Bruce,
The model number for our appliances are etched into the top of the inside of the door. If you have your user manual for your appliance then the pre-rinse symbol (kind of like a shower) will be on the control panel of your appliance. If it's not spelled out then your appliance probably doesn't have it.
If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744.

Daniel S.asked
I have a question about the child lock. I can see there is s small plastic pull tab at the top which, if pulled out will 'lock' the door and the manual says the buttons are locked while the cycle isvunderway.
But can the button be locked when the unit is not operating? My toddler likes to press buttons and would always turn our old dishwasher on.

Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Daniel S., Thank you for your question. Unfortunately no, there is no way for the buttons on this dishwasher to be locked whilst it is not in use. If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744.
