We bought this dishwasher at Appliances Online at a cheap price for a rental property. The reviews were mixed but we'd always had good experiences with Bosch dishwashers in the past (particularly with a slimline one we owned seven years ago), so we took the plunge. We've had it three months and so far it's going really well - everything comes out clean and it's nice and quiet. As some reviews note the default drying function doesn't dry plastics, but we're happy to let them air dry on a rack. I understand you can set a more aggressive drying cy...Read more

I am disappointed with this. I expected better from a brand such as Bosch. After @ 6-7 months I started receiving errors such as e01. They sent me a copy of the manual, & I ended up investigating myself (as blockages are not covered. There was a buildup of scraps, including a small chicken bone which was blocking it. I removed it, and it continued on, however, I have always found that the sprayarms would block easilly. In October 2013, the E01 error returned (as well as a few others). I found rocking it gently seemed to clear the error. One nig...Read more

I have had this dishwasher for over a month now and couldn't be happier. I did so much research before deciding on this one. Every single model you look at has both positive and negative reviews. This one seemed to have the least bad reviews, so fed-up with researching, I took the plunge and bought it online from 2nds World (it was brand new, not a refurbished one). It is so super quiet, I had to put my ear right on top of it to make sure it was working the first time around! Big plates fit in with no problem. There are plenty of compartments t...Read more

Bought the Bosch SMS50E32AU three weeks ago. Believe this is a new model replacing another. Honestly can't understand why there are such expensive machines out there when we got this for $600 (ish) in EOFY sales at the Good Guys. It's almost silent (well compared to our old one) and washes the dishes perfectly. Nothing more to say - job done. What exactly are people trying to achieve spending $1000+ ... Cleaner dishes.

On another note, the good guys store were a disgrace. Took our order online even though they had no stock then spent a week...Read more

This dishwasher had issues from the second week after purchase. The start button doesn't work properly and you need to press the button slowly. After calling Bosch to rectify the situation, I was instructed that as it was an intermittent problem. That if the service tech attended and the fault did not occur I would be required to pay for the call out fee. As this was the case I think that it was poor customer service :(. We never did any thing about it as the call out fee was almost half the cost of the dishwasher. So all in all the dishwasher ...Read more

Was rather hesitant after reading all the reviews about it not drying, however..........

The dishwasher has been super quiet, washes dishes really well and so far seems to be very good quality. This one is made in Turkey I think, not Germany. Bought from Harvey Norman Wiley Park in March 2014 for $580 via debit card.

Plain white, nothing exciting to look at. Easy straightforward controls .

There were instructions in the manual on how to turn on the drying function that are different to the workaround listed by the rep below, so maybe ...Read more

I did lot of research prior to buying this and its only due to fairly good reviews of this brand and model did i buy it. So far I am impressed with it. Its quiet and seems to wash ok but like others have stated in their reviews it doesnt dry very well. I am pretty happy with it though. I have washed it on the quick cycle and also on the 2.5 hr cycle and both seem to do well. I dont normally use a dishwasher very often as I feel by the time I have rinsed the dirty dishes and then stacked them in a dishwasher, its just as quick to wash them all b...Read more

We found this model at Masters for a great price, and after reading some of the reviews on this site we were hesitant.
However the dishwasher cleans the dishes beautifully, is very quiet and despite what some people on this site may believe the dishes come out as dry as you would expect them to if you open up the dishwasher as soon as it is done. (Apparently they should be bone dry but this is not la la land.)

We usually set to hottest temp and intensive drying and a few hours after the cycle is finished they're dry, except where the water ...Read more
