Great for the price!

published

We've ha this machine for a few years, now and had no issues at all with it,It is really very quiet. It looks very good. It can be bought at a really great price. I wouldn't choose another brand. Bosch is easily best value for money brand in dish washes.

Great performing dishwasher, does the job

published

I was surprised by how quiet this machine is, we have an open plan house and it doesn't interfere too much with the noise in the other parts of the house.

Really happy with our Bosch SMS40E08AU, bought based on the strengths of the recommendations here and from Choice magazine.



Simple to use, and I like the subtle features eg. there is a section in the cutlery tray that has a higher base, perfect for the kids' cutlery!

Sleek design, fingermark proof, and quiet

published

I bought this to replace my dishwasher. It is slightly bigger than normal dishwasher, but it is spacious as well in term of dish load. What i love about this, it is quiet and simple. I always use quick cycle.. it does the job for daily use and most of the time i did not rinse my plate and just put inside right away.

Great value

published

I generally rinse all my dishes before putting them in but the diswasher gets any remaining residue off. I have noticed plastics come out very wet, but they did with my previous very expensive SMEG as well but i also find a lot of water pooled on top of mugs. Fits plenty of dishes in it and runs fairly quietly. Very easy to use and for what i paid, i am very happy with it. Door also seems to cope with a toddler climbing on it!

This is perfect. Great product.

published

Cleans well. It is a great product for its price.Seems a bit loud at times however dishes come out looking clean. One negative the dishes need to be many times dried after the cycle which can be time consuming. Anyway would recommend this product if need a dishwasher for a decent price.

Absolutely love this dishwasher

published

I love Bosch dishwashers and had the “top of the range model” in my last house. When I moved into my current property there was a very poor model (no names mention) and it was poorly designed and difficult to stack. I finally had enough and decided to buy a Bosch dishwasher again. I ended up buying this model above (due to finances) but was still amazed at the quality and great layout of the shelves. My dishes can stack upright again!! This is a great model at an entry level price and still beats similar prices brands hands down!

Quiet good looking machine

published

I always use the quick wash cycle and it turns out it doesn't dry properly unless I put vario mode on. It does the job really well and it's quiet compared with the my old dishwasher. I like to use the quick cycle because it does the job for everyday uses and it's quick that I don't have to wait for hours to get done for the dishes.

good dishwasher

published

I have used this for a couple months now, runs pretty well, but it seems like it might plug up prematurely. It has a 70 degree setting which we use to nuke anything and everything. the dishwasher does not fit 2 tablets which is kind of annoying. I would recommend it to family and friends.

Good machine, not great

published

It is ok for the price of this machine, it works and I understand the noise level very acceptable. However, the njumber of cycles available are not quite many, which is annoying, either 30 minutes or 2.5 hours. I find 30 minutes nory it does not clean properly. No issues so far

Fantastic

published

This dishwasher is absolutely fantastic. When our last dishwasher broke we decided to spend a little more on a good brand. We are extremely happy with this dishwasher. It's cleans so well, is very quiet and it's energy usage is lower than many other units out there. It's quick cycle works great! Definitely recommend.

Good dishwasher

published

Good dishwasher, it’s nice and quiet and easy to use, and gets the dishes clean.
The bottom drawer does come off of its tracks sometimes, which is a minor annoyance and the tablet doesn’t always dissolve, but I think that’s due to the tablets i’m Using, not the dishwasher. I love the chrome finish, it looks great.

Fairly good dishwasher

published

Got this dishwasher just before our newest addition to the family came along and it was a great help.
Unfortunately dishes don't always come out spotless so I have to check which is not ideal, but I'm not sure if it's the machine to blame or the tablets. Love the delay feature so I can run it during the day to use solar power.

Very pleased

This dishwasher was a great price at the good guys and value for money. Washes dishes sparkly clean and very quiet. Dishes are completely dry when cycle finishes. I use the eco cycle which is my favorite cycle. Easy to clean filter at the bottom of dishwasher and plenty of space for dishes inside.

amazing!

published

Bought this having seen that Choice chose it as dishwasher of the year and it lives up to the hype, especially for the price. The first time I used it I had to put my ear to the door to ensure it was on. For the first time I'm washing pots and pans and they come up really well, and it doesn't have that residue on the glasses that I have found with other brands. Have used various programs and all worked brilliantly

No Good

published

Purchased this dishwasher less than 12 months ago now check water light is flashing and wont finish cycle. Have checked all filters fittings etc as instructed by Bosch no joy. Have been told to take it to service man for warranty repairs, trouble is he is 60km away. So in short 120km round trip, removal and re installation time and half a days wages. Not worth it. 7 days to Xmas even if i managed to get it to repair man I wont see it until next year sometime. Might as well throw it away and buy something else. Disappointing

Love it!

Our Bosch dishwasher is fabulous. Cleans dishes well, doesn't leave streaks and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. I've had a Bosch dishwasher previously and loved it so decided to stick with the same brand and I am definitely not disappointed. It's pretty quiet and reasonably quick. Highly recommend this to anyone looking at dishwashers.

Cleans and dries dishes perfectly every time, it is very quiet not much back ground noise at all can have it on and still hear the T.V., plenty of room to fit all your dishes cutlery pots pans and any other baking utensils you might use would not be without a dishwasher again.

Questions & Answers

Daniel S.

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.

How do you connect this to the waterline? There are no instructions apart from some pictures which are of no help as there are no measurements of the diameter of connections needed.
