Good value
We purchased this machine 18 months ago and have had no issues with it at all. We have been through 3 dishwashers in 15 years and unfortunately it seems that, like many things now, they are not worth repairing. That’s why we went for the base model Bosch. I took out the 3 year Harvey Norman extended warranty also as our last one ( not a Bosch ) lasted less than 3 years. So far this unit has been excellent. It’s quiet and always gives us a superb wash. The controls are basic but cover all our requirements with the turn of a dial. One thing it is missing is an end of cycle alarm. No big deal. Highly recommend if you are after a good, well priced machine.

Excellent dishwasher! Great value for money.
We purchased this dishwasher as we were so happy with our previous Bosch dishwasher. Compared to other brands of dishwashers I have had in the past this is outstanding. Always cleans everything thoroughly 1st time around and never anything that isn’t washed properly. It is super quiet so we usually put it on just before bed.
The drawers are spaced far enough so you can stack high plates or large pots without any issues. Dish drawers are well layed out to maximise space and include a row of widely spaced prongs great for stacking larger bowls etc.
Highly recommend this dishwasher which offers a premium brand like Bosch for very reasonable price.I think is great value for the money.

Excellent dishwasher
Excellent dishwasher, very quiet and energy efficient. I only have had one issue in the last 5 years which was fixed under warranty thanks to good guys. I previously used f&p double drawer dishwasher which was good but not as nice as the Bosch. I believe this is the best

3rd dishwasher in 3 years
Fi ally bought the right one . After 2 dishwashers let me down ( LG and FISHER PAYKEL) .
The BOSCH is strong, sturdy, cleans beautifully and is easy to operate. It's also nice and quiet and the basket doesn't roll off the guides. Will buy nothing but BOSCH from now on .

Good dishwasher, good size
Very nice looking dishwasher and the perfect size for the kitchen. It is a little louder than expected, but it cleans the dishes well and doesn't leave that weird smell on the dishes.
I would have preferred a digital face instead of a dial, but once you've used it a few times, you will remember the settings.
Don't forget to pull out the instructions and styrofoam from inside the dishwasher before using it!

Great dishwasher
Have so far been very happy with the Bosch dishwasher. Dishes always come out clean and dry. I like the cutlery rack on the top shelf for knifes etc. It is very quiet when in use and is very sleek and modern in looks, we have the stainless steel look. No issues whatsoever!

Amazing! Hasn’t missed a beat!
Cleans perfectly every time. Porcelain, glass and cutlery are always dry once the cycle is finished. Plastics require a quick wipe over before being put away.
Love the pre rinse setting, as my kids tend to pop their dishes in without completely scraping properly!
It’s very quiet, we put it on before going to bed and cannot hear it at all.

Good value for money
I am happy with this dishwasher and it represents good value for money. It is very economical in water consumption and the cycle is short in comparison to my old dishwasher. Dishers are shiny and washed well if I use finish for both dishwasher and rinsing agent. It is a little noisy and I try to turn it when we are away from the kitchen.

Good little machine. Super quiet
Not the biggest so sometimes struggle to fit everything in but it's good. The spacing of the racks could be wider.
Good value for money - quiet, reasonably fast, cleans well. Easy to use - nothing too sophisticated.
Ours came without a top so insulation was exposed - must have bought a semi- integrated version but luckily we managed to get it to line up with bench. Would have preferred a freestanding machine.

Washes really well. A bit noisier than our previous model.
Finally had enough of our previous Bosch (top of the line model, cost over $1600) which never washed anything properly so I was a bit worried about buying another Bosch but Choice rated them higher than other manufacturers so took a punt.
For the base model and cost this machine is awesome it does exactly what its meant to do and that's wash dishes. Don't worry about the models with all the fruit, the savings you can buy something else.
It is a little bit noisier than the last one but still quieter than the kids whinging about hand washing, hard life hey?

A fantastic dishwasher. So quiet. Works really well.
We bought this dishwasher just over a month ago after doing a lot of research to see which brand had really good reviews. It's hard to find a brand which has consistently good reviews but Bosch does.
We were aware that this dishwasher had a plastic base and is made in Turkey, rather than Germany, like some of the other Bosch machines but regardless of this, we have found it very quiet and very effective at cleaning and drying the dishes. The only thing you may want to know is the hose has a large part on it (presumably an anti-flood device) w...Read more

good, nothing extraordinarily bad or good
I am happy with this product. I did not get given a choice as it came as the dishwasher that was chosen and purchased in my off-the-plan apartment, but I would definitely consider it again if given a choice in the future.
It has an attractive and simple appearance. It is simple to use, does not take too long, it is quiet and cleans well.

Quality brand at a good price
We bought this to replace an extremely old Dishlex. We decided on this entry level Bosch after weighing up several entry/moderate level dishwashers. We wanted a simple to use dishwasher that cleaned well and didn't need anything too complicated. We decided on Bosch after reading a lot of favourable reviews and we are very happy with our purchase. Our dishwasher is easy to use, quiet, cleans extremely well, and is visually attractive. The only negatives would be that the door can at times be hard to open and the interior of the dishwasher seems to mark very easily so ensure all cutlery etc. are well clear of the door and sides when stacking.

Great product.
We have loved using this dishwasher for the past 2 1/2 years. The first one I ever had (Silencio) sounded like a road train driving through the kitchen in the middle of the night but this Bosch is very quiet, it does a great job on the dishes & the timer feature is very convenient. Looks great too with the stainless steel finish. Very happy with it.

Great value Bosch product, bought to replace a previous Bosch dishwasher that lasted 9 years.
Dishes are always clean first time. Dishwasher is in an open plan room and runs in a super quiet mode, you hardly even know that it is switched on. I can highly recommend this product.

Great dishwasher for a mid range price, does what it needs to! Sooo quiet, sometimes wonder if ive actually turned it on properly! Dishes come out clean n sparkling and completely dry! Baked on casserole was an easy challenge on the pot function! Heaps of room and cuttlery basket easy to empty.. easy to use n looks good with anti fingerprint finish. Purchased from Appliances online, $12 dearer than good guys but delivered to my door, old one removed and they took all the packaging!

Works like a charm
The Bosch has taught us how clean dishes look like, great! I experience the storage baskets as very praxis oriented, easy to load. To me it is magic that the dishwasher adjusts to the grade of soiling of the dishes (temperature and duration) Rinsing aid is taken seriously, if the tank is empty a red diode makes one refill on the spot. There is also an eco and an "careful" program which work well too if the dishwasher may for once be not completely full or there are breakable glasses to clean. Dishes etc are dry except in places where water can pool during cleaning. The machine is so silent, one needs the red diode to see if work is finished.

Does its job well!
This appliance had such great reviews and, although it is early days, we are very happy with it so far. It has a good capacity for dishes/utensils and some moveable racks to accommodate different sized items. It runs quietly, looks sleek and simple, and the dishes are clean and spot-free.

Questions & Answers
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.

Hi, I have some questions before buying this dishwasher. Would this model come with a drying option?
Also, i have the following dimensions under the benchtop. Width - 61cm, Depth - 56cm, Height - 88cm. Would this fit in the space? Thanks

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.
