Average. Go back to drawing board Bosch.

published

I find the dishwasher only OK. It cleans well but only average on the drying department. Plastics as usual have to be manually dried afterwoods. The biggist issue to me is the racks. Who designed these. On the first day clips went flying that hold some of it together. Some already lost. The top cutery tray I like.
The next rack for the cups is not designed for mugs or cups. Can only fit half what old dishwasher could.
The bottom rack for plates and pans is a shocker. There is gaps that bowls falls through. Clips that hold places for plates come undone and plates fall over.
Touch buttons have to be pressed hard on door to choose cycle.

Nothing but trouble

published

I have had nothing but trouble with my dishwasher purchased on 14/3/13. I would have only been able to operate it for less than half the time I have owned it. Bosch would not honour their warranty as said a cockroach had interfered with electronics. Other electrical technicians told me that the error E01 had nothing to do with the electronics but low water level. I had to trick it into working every time by switching off power then holding both the start button and timer for cycle down at the same time. I became so frustrated that yesterday I had it removed and replaced with another brand. Continual calls to Bosch resulted in no assistance.My previous Simpson I had for 20 years!

Great product

published

A good product but disappointed there is no just rinse feature. Filter easily lifted and put back in again but unsure how a piece of broken China cup got through into the pump. Relatively quiet. Repair call out was charged for as not covered by warranty. I would recommend Bosch anytime

Great machine

published

It took a few attempts to learn how to stack this dishwasher and to understand the different wash cycles, but once this was mastered we are very happy with how it cleans the dishes. The drying process if different from other dishwashers and needs getting used to, but once you manage it is fine. Love the cutlery draw at the top a sit frees up so much space on the bottom level for the big post and pans. The 'muncher' deals with any detritus left on dishes meaning there is no need to rinse before loading the dishwasher - just scrape of the excess. The best feature is that it is almost totally silent.

Great Dishwasher - love the flexible drawers

published

After our cheapy dishwasher decided to trip our safety switch, it was time for a new dishwasher.

I chose the Bosch due to its reputation and flexible drawer configuration, I haven't been disappointed.

Its great, the best part is how quiet it is and how well it cleans.

Overall a great product!

I love this dishwasher!

published

Very quiet, I love the cutlery tray (was unsure at first, but it’s grown on me), and it generally keeps the dishes very clean. I always use the vario-speed function, which halves the time for the cleaning cycle to 1:20.
My parents have since bought the same model and have had a similar positive experience.

good. but very annoying with E24.

published

this is the first washing machine I ever owned. it works well. clean and dry the dishes well. I was quite happy with it until keep having E24 now. apparently from other review site, E24 is very common. but it is the pain every time needs to restart and clear the drain.

Great quality

published

Does a great job of cleaning the dishes and has a number of options for arranging the dishes. Is quiet and looks great. Like the time delay functionality and the countdown for when the dishes are done. I normally put it on economy mode and leave it running over night

Quiet and Efficient

published

I have had four dishwashers previous to this and none have been as quiet and effective as our Bosch. This model come with the cutlery tray which is a life saver and it's height ratio for the top and bottom drawers seems to be perfect. Have not had a problem since I purchased it.

Best dishwasher I have ever had

published

Easy to use and does an amazing job of cleaning my dishes. I especially love the amazing job it does on cleaning my stainless steel roasting pans I used to have to scrub them to clean properly but this dishwasher brings them back to near new looking they come out clean and shiny every time.

Great dishwasher

published

I have had numerous models of dishwashers in the past but this one has proved to be the most reliable I have owned. Maybe not the most fully featured model on the market but it washes well and dries well too. Not too expensive and stainless steel is easy to clean.

Great washing machine

published

It cleans all our dishes very well. It is so quiet when it was running. We barely heard the noise at night. My favourite feature is I can choose different mode to clean our dishes and it has different temperatures as well. It takes about 2 Hours to wash the dishes which seems a bit too long :p

Nice work

published

It works really well. Not too much noise whiling washing. Really quick and effective . End up with clean fresh dishes. Whole family appreciate the way it does. It is not easy to get it cleaned though. But not too bad .because we don’t need to get it done very often.

Cannot fault

published

I have had many dishwashers previously and have always been left frustrated as they wouldn't clean properly, break or even flood the house. This bosch dishwasher however has been a breeze to use. Easy to clean and simple instructions. my dishes have always come out clean and unbroken. The settings available are very useful and easy to use.

Best Dishwasher I ever had

published

Love this German made Bosch dishwasher. Stylish design,solid build quality. Bit of pricey, but you get what you paid.
I use it almost everyday, cleans my dishes nicely with different program settings, even with quick wash. Very quiet while it's running, can't really hear the noise unless listen very carefully or in the quite night. Highly recommended.
But be aware, the machine will refuse to start up if the power is not stable.

Clean dishes

published

I use this dishwasher regularly to clean plates, cutlery, and other dishwasher friendly items. It has served well in removing food scraps and tough stains on plates. Dishes come out dry with little residue and fresh. The dishwasher drawers keep the items in place and rarely do they move out. Solid dishwasher overall.

Good stuff

published

We use it everyday at night to do our dishes. It really cleans the toughest stains with complete ease. Really easy to clean and dries up real fast. It is extremely quiet and has loads of functionality. Some of the stuff is still unexplored on this thing. Energy consumption is good too.

We will only buy Bosch dishwasher

published

We always buy Bosch dishwasher. the ones made in Germany. really good. The only thing I found is the top tray for knives/forks/spoons do not get washed as good as when they were in the lower level basket. Other than that no complains at all. Had the old Bosch for 5 years then moved house and current Bosch for 3.5 years and never had problems.
