great machine
We didn't need a new dishwasher but when we came across this one we just needed to upgrade. We love it, no regrets. It washes great and it is nice and quiet, the dishes come out looking really clean. We have been using a two draw machine and now wish that we have only upgraded sooner.

Best Dishwasher ever
I love how the dishes all stack in there, this is my second Bosh and we went to great length to find one that fitted into the space provided it this house, we would not settle for anything but a Bosh. I find it easy to use, holds a lot of dishes, easy to clean just love it.

Wonderful
Clean very well, never had a dishwasher before, and love it heaps.It saves my hands getting dry, by not having to do the dishes by hand. Dishes come out super clean and sparkly, and is very economical and quiet. Very happy using this awesome machine, and looks great too in the kitchen.

Good for small kitchen
This dishwasher was purchased from a friend srill in box and un- used. Very clear and easy to understand installation which i did myself without any professional assistance (got a plumber friend to over see the installation and to check over everything of course) very convenient size as i have a very small kitchen space. Quiet operation and does a good job with minimal energy usage and low water consumption.

After lots of research I am happy with my choice. It's a great product.
Cleans really really well. Leaving squeaky clean plates and glasses.
Am aware the machine is running but it doesn't interfere with conversation.
Like the complete stainless steel inside - no plastic bits.
Love the cutlery tray and using it means I can remove the cutlery basket and that means more room on bottom rack.

Quiet dishwasher
There were so many water marks inside the dishwasher when unpacking the machine, the sales person told me the water marks were left after the testing by the manufacturer. I know that some brands' dishwashers are cleaned before shipping. The default language was German but not English, I had to set the language before changing other settings, the machine is made in Germany.
The machine is so quiet during running, the dishes and the glasses are clean and dry - you need to set the programmes at highest temperature 65-75 degrees and shining, the...Read more
n it takes longer time to wash, over 3 hours depending on the programme settings. We are happy we bought this model of dishwasher, the price is higher than the lower models but is better than some European brands.1 comment

mostly good but unsure about some of the noises
Very happy with the clean and overall feel, love the cutlery drawer and internal light.
One of the reasons we chose the dishwasher was for low noise and the Choice review. Our last Kleenmaid dishwasher made some awful noises on its way out.
There is one noise every now and then like a changing gear noise for a few seconds, not sure what it is or if its normal. A bit concerned it may become a problem.
Like the interface but a bit puzzling for an Australian model it started in German. My husband was stumped but lucky I learned German once and switched it to English.
The default should be no beep when the cycle finishes. I changed it but its kind of fiddly to change.

Rust marks on the Front panel
Super quiet and cleans well. Unfortunately after almost seven months I can now see rust marks on the Front panel.
All my other stainless steel appliances are cared for the same way and still look great... I'm hoping those rusty marks will not get any worse.. very annoyed to have a rusted dishwasher in my newly renovated kitchen.

Start loving it
I got mine today, model SMU88TS03A/06. I assume that it has the feature of “ActiveWater” with the new Zeolith drying technology. It is difficult to decide which model or style to go between built-in and free-standing. I picked up built-in one finally because I believed it will be more flexible to adjust the height to fit inside of the bench-top. I felt surprised about the front button cover panel because it is too thin/narrow to use. I got a space with 860 height under of bench-top, therefore there is still a big gap could not be covered by the narrow button panel, which shown a bit piece of black rubber.

Excellent Dishwasher
It cleans to perfection, and you can't even hear it running.
So much room in this machine, for all your needs. The adjustable height middle shelf is perfect and simple to lower leaving ample room for wine glasses or any tall items.
The drying is another great feature, no more water sitting on the coffee cups or glasses

Great, so quiet love it.
It cleans the dishes so well and the racks are well spaced and easy to use. Love how quiet the machine is no loud banging, great product. Can adjust shelving to suit large pots and pans as well as the cultery tray is great and works well to clean all the items.

Can Highly Recommend This Appliance
I selected the SMU88TS03A “ActiveWater” Bosch with their new Zeolith drying technology. The best deal was from Harvey Norman Supa Centa. If you do not get a deal including metro delivery for less than $1,900 then your sales person needs to work a little harder. If this is too much, you could go without the Zeolith technology and the “Emotion” internal lighting (SMU88TS01A) and save a few hundred dollars. I just LOVE this dishwasher. It is like stepping into the future after my SMEG model. Nothing plastic-y, has a real tight/solid feel to it, is...Read more
really-REALLY quiet (42 decibels) with 4.5 star energy and 5 star water consumption (on eco program). The top cutlery drawer is far superior to those pesky baskets which often take up space and get in the way. The upper cup/glass drawer has 3 height settings, easily changed by pressing the side switches, rather than needing to pull the whole thing out and change the rollers/runners. I have been able to wash the larger plates without needing any drawer adjustment and the plates we have with the deeper sides fit in with ease, whereas in my previous machine it was quite a struggle and they usually ended up on a slant and not quite fitting. You can even remove the upper drawer and use the spray-head attachment which enables you to wash very large oven racks and trays. The VarioDrawer (PRO) and RackmaticPlus enables you to have complete control over which prongs you want up or down. Great design allows you to have them split half-up and half-down, so you can widen or narrow the spacings as required, in one part or as a section, or the whole basket can be adjusted to have no prongs to get in the way of loading awkward items. Interior LED lighting is not essential, but good to have. The controls, setup and operation are simple, easy to use and are logical. I have no complaints what so ever and am glad I decided to go with an upper-end machine rather than pay less for something less spec’d and inferior. If you have had a broken dishwasher and gone back to manual washing-up for a period, you will be well aware how useful and time/effort saving a dishwasher truly is. Considering how often it is used and how long they last, if you can afford it I would always consider paying more for a higher-end, well-built product with superior features and benefits, rather than the plastic-y, less efficient but cheaper version.1 comment

Questions & Answers
Jean F.asked
Does this dishwasher have a separate rinse cycle
1 answer
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Jean F.,
Thanks for the question regarding your Bosch dishwasher. The rinse cycle is a part of a program and cannot run done by itself. If you are after an additional rinse for your utensils, keep in mind some programs have a 'pre rinse' cycle which is a great option. If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744.

Jon TWasked
I am renovating my kitchen and designing almost all units to have no handles.
Is SMV88TX02A (fully integrated) push to open?
If not, how do you open it without a handle?
Or does the door panel need to be cut / manufactured differently and how different? Theres is very little information out there on this.
I have seen the Bosch series 8 european dishwashers are push to open. Is this not the same?
3 answers
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Jon TW,
Thanks for the question regarding the Bosch SMV88TX02A Dishwasher. The door is designed to open automatically at the end of the program. The door self-closes when below a 20 angle.
If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744 select option 4 for our care line
Regards, Bosch Home Australia
So if you want to close it, but not use it (part loaded) and you want to open it to put more in how do you open it?
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Jon,
This appliance is designed to be used with a handle. An actual handle or a cutout of the panel would be necessary. Your cabinet makers would need to be asked if the cutout is possible for your setup.
You can download the installation manual to show them via https://www.bosch-home.com.au/productlist/dishwashers/underbench-dishwashers/dishwasher-60-cm-wide/SMV88TX02A#/Tabs=tab-3185783/.

Does it have a finish notification and if so does it require any action to stop it?
3 answers
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Les,
Thanks for the question regarding your Bosch SMU88TS04A.
This appliance does not have this function. If you want an end of cycle notification you would have to go for the Integrated model SMV88TX02A.
If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744.
Regards, Bosch Home Australia
We are still researching and yes we do want an integrated model and the reason for the question was that we do not want that feature where the dishwasher beeps continuosly at the end of cycle so you have to open the door or take any action to stop it.
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances
Hi Les,
The semi integrated SMU88TS04A does not have the end of program signal and the fully integrated SMV88TX02A has a single buzzer that can be turned off and has lights that signal the end of the program as well.
We hope that helps with the decision.
Regards, Bosch Home Australia
