Really happy with this washing machine

published

Really happy with this machine. I got it on special for $570 delivered from jb hifi online.



It is so much quieter than my previous one.
Freestanding and easy to instal.
Cleans really well - although the Eco setting left dishes too wet so I have to always use the full cycle.

Two annoying things-
1) the door requires an almighty pull to open it. It's a weird type of latch. That jerks the whole machine forward. I had to "jam" the machine into the kitchen recess to stop this.
2) lots of plastic parts make me worry about the long term durability of the machine.

I've had it 3 months and I'm really happy with the product. There are better dishwashers out there but not for $570

Good quality and very quiet

published

Very quiet machine that cleans well. Plenty of room for dinner plates so they don't obstruct the spray arm. has a cutlery basket rather than a shelf which is very practical. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and I'm very happy with it and would certainly recommend it.

Great value

published

Purchased on special from the Good Guys this was easy to install and despite not having the digital readout and bells and whistles was very cheap and has turned out to be very reliable and quiet.
The cleaning job does depend on using a quality detergent and on the pots cycle does a credible job of getting rid of residual food and cleans all of the coffee/tea stains on cups/mugs.
A great machine!

Bosch SMS40E08AU Dishwasher Failed after 17months

published

I purchased this Bosch dishwasher Dec 2015, huge pop noise on 5/5/17. This dishwasher washes well. My last Bosch dishwasher lasted 20 years and had lots more work than this one with only 2 in the house its still like new.
Still waiting for Bosch to come and fix under warranty. Should be showing up on 15/5/17 long wait.
Warranty service very slow won't be purchasing Bosch again!!!
Let's hope Bosch honor their warranty.

Best brand of Dishwasher ever owned

published

I've had dishwashers for the past 25 years and Bosch is the absolute winner.
Easy to load, easy to operate and washes dishes beautifully!
Very quiet too!
Our last dishwasher was a bosch and it lasted just over 10 years with daily, sometimes twice daily use.
Highly recommended, great quality and a great price, 5 Stars!

Great value, very quiet

published

I am so happy with this dishwasher. I have only had it two months so far but it washes so well even on the Eco cycle. It is really quiet too. I have had a Bosch before and was really happy with but they have been getting some negative press lately. I had a Samsung in a rental and it would not clean regular dishes even on a pot cycle. I love this dishwasher, my glasses are always shiny and streak free.

Works well and beautifully quiet

published

This dishwasher was bought to replace a Fisher and Paykel Dishdrawer. The two are like chalk and cheese, with the Bosch cleaning better, drying better and operating more quietly. The controls are simple and easy to use, the racks are well spaced and the addition of wine glass holders is appreciated. Very happy ... and definitely an upgrade.

Can't fault it!

published

After checking out other reviews I decided to go with this dishwasher and I'm very happy with it. It's very quiet, so quiet that sometimes I have to double check that I've turned it on! The dishes come out super clean every time (even if I don't rinse the plates) and they are perfectly dry. With past dishwashers I've had to dry cups and cutlery with a towel afterwards so this is a huge time saver for me. It looks good and is very easy to use. For the price I don't think you could get any better than this.

Good replacement

published

Had to get a replacement dishwasher when other one finally gave up the ghost after more than 20 years excellent service, we went for a mid range dishwasher which our reliable and honest plumber recommended. It is extremely quiet after the other one. The cycle takes a lot longer but the water use is good. Would recommend it.

could be better it is a runout model

published

i didnt like the child lock it is cumbersome i looked up the blogs and found a way of not using it. it should have a lock in the handle so that when you open it it first stops the water. i would have liked a clearer way of deciding which program i would use (i guess i will get used to it) i did get approx $300. 00 off so i cant complain to much. the good points extremely quiet easy to load gold s/s no fingermarks showing check the height as i had to take the top off.

Cleans well and quiet

published

We bought this dishwasher about 1-2weeks ago and pretty happy with it. It cleans well and is very quiet. Definitely quieter than our last dishwasher.
The only let down of this product is the drying capability. After every wash the dishes and cutlery are always wet and we need to leave the door open to let them dry. Unfortunately I can't find a way of fixing this.

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.

Hi Kush,
Thanks for the question regarding our Bosch SMS40E08AU.
This machine does come with an additional 'Extra drying' feature. If selected this feature increases temperature during the final rinse,and an extended drying phase ensures that even plastic parts dry better. In terms of the dimensions this appliance it is 845 mm x 600 mm x 600 mm (H x W x D)

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.
