Fantastic dishwasher.

published

I bought this dishwasher about a year ago. What a fantastic dishwasher. It is so quiet. Washes very well. We are on tank water, so water usage was important.
Cleans properly the first time.

Plastic base cracked

published

Got this as part of a house build so I did not have a choice in it. The dishwasher actually washes fine while it washes, the drying is a bit average and the door needs to be opened after and left to dry. The main issue is the dishwasher is made of plastic, the whole base is plastic and I had the unfortunate event that a knife on the top shelf (not cutlery drawer as it does not fit) fell down in the wash and cracked the interior, I didn't work it out until water was pouring out of the dishwasher underneath.

As this is my fault it is not under warranty, just the result of a poorly built product. Now I have a dishwasher with silicone all over the base to stop it leaking while I save for a new one.

Evidence that new not as good as old

Installed this dishwasher as a replacement from our old 17 year old machine. Half the weight and quality. The unit is so small inside. Disappointed, but stuck with it now.

An excellent dishwasher for the price

published

We bought our Bosch dishwasher earlier this year. It has worked reliably and we are very happy with it. It is super quiet to the point we sometimes can't even tell if it is on. The dishes come clean 99% of the time with only a couple of occasions where some dirt has remained. We don't rinse before loading.

Realy efficient dishwasher

published

We bought our Bosch dishwasher in 2015. I use it probably 3 times a day. The features that I like very much are: classy look, no noise, and user friendly. I mostly use the short cycle for my day to day dishwashing and I am super happy with it. Bosch has always been our first choice for most electrical goods.

Fantastic dishwasher

published

Purchased this dishwasher a couple of months ago and it is fantastic!
The cutlery tray on top is great. Because the cutlery is not all bunched up into a small basket, it gets washed and dried properly. The added benefit of using the cutlery tray on top is that you can take the cutlery basket out and it gives you extra room on the bottom shelf.
It is easy to use, although I have not yet had a chance to utilise all the programs, but the factory settings for the rinse aid etc have worked for us.
It is ultra quiet, we have an open plan house and do not need to turn up the TV to block out the dishwasher noise.
I would highly recommend this dishwasher.

QUALITY BOSCH - REASONABLE PRICE

published

We scrap most food scraps from dishes before loading and the machine cleans the dishes extremely well. Never any food residue on the crockery. Leaves glasses shiny and clean. Easy to load and unload. The cutlery basket is well designed. Do find it fairly noisy though,can make strange sucking sounds which can be somewhat disconcerting.

Water Heater

published

We've had this dishwasher for just over 2 years, no problems until a few days ago an error message E:09 appeared and now it no longer heats the water. For the cost of the replacement part and repairman it feels like we would be better off buying a brand new machine which feels ridiculous for a machine that is only 2 years old.

Water Heater has died

published

This has been a great machine for the last five years but now only washes cold (not nice) and displays the E09 error at the end of the cycle. Google advises that it probably needs a new water heater but finding a technician who doesn't charge the earth or buying spare parts is challenging.

Great Value Machine

published

I really like this dishwasher. It's quieter than the last Bosch we had and it has a display screen to indicate the time left. The vario setting does a pretty impressive job of reducing the cycle time. My only issue is that it does not have a pause button (the last one did). I guess you just open the door but I preferred the option to pause first. The door also is much quieter to open and close than the last one (which is great if you have a sleeping baby).

Quality at a budget price

published

A Bellini brand dishwasher was installed when we bought our house, a horrible machine so when it died 2 months out of warranty replaced it with the Bosch. My daughter had the top of the line model, and this is certainly a budget version but it works flawlessly. Extremely quiet, does a perfect job on the dishes and has enough programs for us. Love that we can have wine glasses in top rack and still fit large dinner plates on lower rack.

Overall good product

published

This dishwasher is ten times better than my previous old one, most of the baked on cheese even comes off without needing any pre-rinse. I love the cutlery draw but it does mean that the middle shelf is not as tall and not all glasses fit (definitely no wine glasses).

Often have to rewash dishes

published

Replaced our fabulous old BOSCH dishwasher with this one - a similar model - and it’s been really disappointing. Every wash, quite a few plates still have debris on them and have to go back in again. Any plates that even slightly hang through the bottom rack impede the bottom rotating spray arm, which partly explains the debris on the plates, but not fully: we are now pretty vigilant about making sure nothing hangs below, and we still get debris. The old dishwasher would perfectly wash even an over-packed dishwasher. This one, we underload. This, combined with rewashing plates, means we are using more water. Sad face.

Love this product

published

Very satisfied, super quiet cleans well...although I always rinse dishes before loading. only issue is the time it takes for water to evaporate after cycle is completed, yes I do leave the door ajar. The 45minute cycle is great when I only have cups and plates, very economical. Easy to use A1 product.

Bosch stand behind their products

My Bosch Dishwasher broke down. it wasn’t heating or washing.
Contacted Bosch re the above problem and it was fixed in no time at all.
I was very pleased with their after sales service and l would not hesitate to recommend the Bosch Brand to anyone.
I Would also not hesitate to purchase Bosch products again.

We love our tough little dishwasher. No smells and clean dishes every single wash. The lady from good guys in Cannington was very helpful we told her what we wanted from a dishwasher and her recommendation was spot on to what we were looking for. No problems so far.

I mentioned that I had a Bosch dishwasher for 5 years before with no troubles. This one has same filter locking mechanism so it was the first thing I checked. Definately locked in but it still leaves grit.

Fine so far!

published

Simple basic machine not yet had any issues at all! It works and fairly well. I prefer the smeg I had before because the glasses and cups bottoms seem to not collect water on top as much with the smeg. But I do like the simple control panel on this model. Cleans well but does make weird sounds but so does my friends older Bosch

We needed to replace our tired dishwasher and this model was recommended to us and it seems to have been a good choice. It is extremely quiet and we can hear the TV while it is running. It has an excellent menu with lots of options to get the right wash each time for the contents needing washing. It was a little confusing at first to get the settings right for our needs but we are used to it now and it does the job it is supposed to do quite well

This isn't the Bosch Home web site, it's an independent review site.
Anyway, the manual says for error codes E01-E30 not detailed in the manual:
"Switch off appliances with the ON/OFF switch
After a short time restart the appliance.
If the problem recurs, turn off the tap and pull out the mains plug.
Call customer service and mention the error code."
This is on page 29 of the manual.
Assuming you're in Australia, the customer service number is: 1300 369 744
