Upper arm hitting upper rack - Noise problem

published

I have bought 2 of these dishwashers based on the reviews on ieatwords and also recommended to my family and friends.
However, after using this dishwasher for 3 months I see two issues common in my dishwasher.



Upper arm hitting upper basket during cleaning cycle and make lot of noise. This happen with both of the dishwashers.

I understand that these dishwashers don't use heating element but drying is not satisfactory. sometimes when I pull out cutlery tray after ECO cycle it is full of water. i have raised the concern with Bosch Support and hope they will help me out.

Spotless cleaning and extremely quiet!

published

The most luxurious looking dishwasher I have ever seen! I love all the different settings and additional features it offers. I always use the extra dry option as it even dries all plastics and I never had an issue with glass cups either. I always scrape my dishes with a brush to avoid any scrapes clogging the dishwasher. I have been using this dishwasher for a couple of months now and I never had any issues with it. I usually put it on at night before we go to sleep and the noise never annoyed us. Installation was easy as we did it on our own. Definitely worth the money!

Works well

published

We bought this to replace our 10 year old Bosch that broke. It had been a pretty good dishwasher so we just went the same brand again.
We installed ourselves and the installation manual was terrible. Luckily YouTube videos helped somewhat.
We have been using it for about a month now and are happy with it.

Doesn’t disappoint. Clean perfectly every time

published

Very satisfied. This dishwasher cleans everything very well, runs the water to a very high temperature which dissolves all foodscraps and leaves dishes drier than most dishwashers. Runs very quietly, can hardly hear it.

Has a great feature where it shows the estimated cycle finish time which comes in handy. Only slight bugbear is the middle drawer doesn’t quite have the clearance to stack the majority of our glass tumblers on it as they bump against the cutlery drawer. Other than that very happy with my purchase.

Super quiet!

published

This is a gem compared to my last dishwasher. The option to lower or raise the upper basket is fantastic. It’s so quiet & I mean QUIET! The only 2 things that I have to say against it is wine glasses have trouble standing & the cutlery wash tray up top is useless if you have the machine on an economical setting,but putting those two silly things aside it is outstanding!! Cleaning on the outside is a breeze.

When I apply different settings, I am satisfied with the features/controls and their performance of this product
I will filter the cutlery before I put it in the dishwasher, lest the residue clog up
rarely clog, because I will filter with water beforehand, even if there is a blockage can be removed to clean

Good product

I am very happy with my new Bosch dishwasher. Great product, no complaints. works very quietly and does a great job. i would highly recommend this product. Energy efficient and takes very less water. No extra burden on those bills. Interior of the dishwasher is spacious and fits large bowls and plates.

A very good purchase indeed

published

It you are going to buy a dishwasher, this would be our recommendation. It is fast, efficient, quiet and the dishes come out very clean. Love the level of flexibility with the drawers. Took a while to get used to the top cutlery drawer but now would not have it any other way as it leaves so much more room in the bottom to fit those big pots and pans. Great purchase and highly recommend this product.

It’s safe to say that we love this dishwasher! The dishes always come out clean and we can hardly even hear it running, we put it on over night and sleep right through it. We got this at a really good price and couldn’t be happier. Would recommend this dishwasher to others.

Happy with my purchase.

published

Overall I’m happy with the performance of the dishwasher. It washes and drys the dishers well.
I am however really disappointed that it doesn’t have a remaining time countdown. There is a red light indicator that is visible on the floor on the bottom right of the machine, but seems a little useless, as you can still hear the machine going.

Great dishwasher

published

We have had this for a couple of months after our Miele died (after 6 years) and are very happy with it.Its quiet,everything comes out clean,it has quick cycles and was a great price.Its not as big inside as the Miele and I’m not a massive fan of the cutlery drawer as with a big family I struggle to fit all the cutlery in but it does come with a basket too.overall very happy with this dishwasher.

Well Priced and does its job

published

Well priced hence good value. Looks good with the stainless front. Washes OK but often leaves food stuck on plates. Is reasonably quiet. Seems to use a lot of rinse-aid. Only really use the short wash as the long wash is way to long. Easy to keep clean has scratched a few glasses.

Super quiet super clean

published

Very happy with the dishwasher, easy to keep clean, the dishes are truly dry and clean, has a few options of cleaning cycles from fast to long, has delay options (to run when the solar systems are going) LOADS of space to put dishes, you get a cutlery tray OR a drawer (prefer the drawer) and bonus is that it is super quiet!

Cleans well but sometimes smells

published

We bought this 3 years ago and at first had no issues cleaned very dirty dishes very well and never had many that came out still dirty. However over the past few months each wash has smelt worse and worse. We've ran cleaners through the dish washer but it didn't change much and think it's the water in our area maybe

This thing is awesome

published

This Bosch came to replace a series 6 we had that died. I am rapt with the dishwasher: quiet, great at cleaning dishes and glasses, easy to clean the bottom area where residue can collect & the cutlery drawer up the top is so much better than a cutlery tray. The only thing I have found that's slightly annoying is that my wine glasses don't quite fit in the top rack (they are a bit too tall) so I am back to handwashing them. It's not a deal breaker for me. Should probably drink less wine anyway. All in all, an awesome dishwasher!

Updated dishwasher

published

Performs well, runs very quietly. This machine replaces a well loved 17 year old Bosch dishwasher. The new machine has several new features and hopefully will be more economical because it uses less water per cycle. Very pleased with my new purchase. The dIshes are clean and dry after each wash.
