Never again

published

Strange how only the 5 star reviews get responded to & anything less is ignored.Customer service is poor if you are having a problem with your new washer,even when paying extra for the Concierge service.

Very happy with this super quiet and does what is supposed to.

published

Had for two months now....and received Finish products as part of the promotion. I already use Finish Powerball but the Finish products they sent me actually work even better. I was getting some residue in the cups but the new Finish tabs have eliminated that.



It's easy to stack and the option to fold down some on the racks makes it practical for large pots that I would have previously hand washed.

It's a no thought appliance that does what it's supposed to, with mimimum of fuss or noise.

Would recommend.

Purchased in December 2021 at e&s for $979.00.

2 warranty claims in 8 months. When it is functioning it is great.

published

Purchased April 2022. Control board failed and was repaired under warranty after 3 months of use. Took 5 weeks to repair. Control board has once again failed at 8 months and now we wait the extended time for the next repair to occur. Very disappointed that we have had to make 2 warranty claims in 8 months. Unacceptable Bosch. This unit should be replaced at your cost. Clearly faulty.

Good and bad

published

It's a very quiet and power and water efficient dishwasher. It does a good job of washing dishes but has two disadvantages compared to our 20 year old Blanco.
1. It's not easy to stack but that may be a matter of getting used to it. Wine glasses are a problem.
2. It leaves a lot of water on dishes at the end of the cycle, particularly cups with indented bottoms.
Bosch assure me this is normal.
It may be that the trade-off of having something quiet and efficient is to have a poorer performance in some ways compared to a 20 year old unit.

Sorry but I have already done that as indicated in the review (line 7) above. I was assured by Bosch that this is normal for this dishwasher.

Easily the best dishwasher I’ve owned. Simple to install and use, so quiet you wonder if it is actually going, superb cleaning. High quality all around. Let looks good, quality stainless steel inside, easy to load. Cannot fault it in any way. Purchased from Appliances Online who were also awesome.

Very Reliable!

published

This is our 2nd bosch dishwasher we have installed when renovating, both worked flawlessly, easy to use and fits a huge amount of dishes! Would definitely buy again, researched and compared with other brands but kept coming back to Bosch as we have had the same model before and is very good value.

Excellent Dishwasher

published

This is my second Bosch dishwasher. My wife and I were so impressed with our previous Bosch dishwasher that it was a no brainer to get this dishwasher. Again no regrets, washes the dishes well, quiet operation, good on water and electricity. Love the cutlery tray, even though it does come with a cutlery basket if you are that way inclined.
However, just remember that all Bosch dishwashers aren't the same. You do get what you pay for i.e. friends of ours purchased the cheapest Bosch dishwasher and weren't 100% happy.
But I reiterate that this particular model is great, and give it 5 stars.

Amazing

published

It's a great product and easy as to use. Just have to push a setting and start and away it goes. Love using the easy timer settings. Had it for a few and use it every day. Cleaned out filter but it was still pretty clean. Very energy efficient too.

A good buy

published

I purchased this after the old Bosch gave up after 8 years. At first I said I wouldn't buy Bosch again as the old one 'only' lasted 8 years. But then Bosch told me they technically are built to last 5 and after that ur lucky if they keep going! I think you can only award excellent after that period of time! Having said that, the Bosch machines are very quiet. This one does a great job even on the eco and quick settings (which is all i use). The cutlery basket was better on the old one so I swapped it over. Judging by the many reviews on this site I think you can get unlucky or lucky with any brand but overall I would say Bosch are pretty reliable.

Very Quiet

published

We've had this for 2 weeks, very quiet, cleans very well and dries the best I've seen from any dishwasher, even plastics.
Very quiet, we thought the one it replaced was quiet, this is even more so.
Quick wash function, it can do a complete, fairly heavily marked load, in an hour.
Very impressive.

Bosch is my favorite washing machine as it is very durable, never broke down in last two years, very dependable and very friendly with electricity and water saving. It is very silent and very user friendly. The programs are ready to fit any user and can accommodate most of a house hold requirements.

Reliable and washes great, love the cutlery drawer

published

Best Dishwasher I've ever had, tons of setting to change the length of the wash time, I use 45c and Vario which can wash in at 1 hour 15 minutes, the trays can be height adjusted to deal with large dinner plates and pots. The cutlery drawer can handle more than you ever need to wash and they always comes out clean. The machines is very quiet and the delayed start is useful.

Another Bosch.

published

Our old Bosch dishwasher died in September. Only lasted 24 years ☺ So another German made Bosch will hopefully last as long. 1 month on and so far so good. Very quiet, very efficient. Easy to use and good programming flexibility. Cleans well ( as expected.) The top cutlery draw is a winner. Main draws have good flexibility for fitting larger items.

Serie 6 SMS66MW01A (White)

Hi, I am also asking whether this model sms66mw01a dishwasher can have hot water input fitted to the machine.
Our current dishwasher (not bosch) is older and takes hot water supply, this works well for us as we have alternate energy supply for our household hot water heating.
Thankyou in advance.

It only has one input tap. But the dishwasher heats the water so you only need cold.

Thanks Mumwithkids,
To clarify I am wanting to put hot water supply into the one input line.
Thanks

Bosch Home Appliances
Bosch H.Bosch Home Appliances

Hi springfarmer, Thanks for your question, The dishwasher can be connected to cold or hot water up to max. 60°C. Connection to hot water is recommended if the hot water can be supplied by energetically favorable means and from a suitable installation, e.g. solar heating system with circulation line. This will save energy and time. The hot water setting allows you to adjust your appliance optimally to operation with hot water. It is recommended to have a water temperature (temperature of the incoming water) of at least 40 °C and no more than 60 °C. It is not recommended to connect the appliance to hot water if the water is supplied from an electric boiler. If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 369 744.

Hi, do you HAVE TO use finish or similar products? I have rarely used them in my Dishlex dishwasher and have read that some dishwashers actually state that a rinse aid MUST be used. Looking to buy this model Bosch in the next day or so. Mike

How do I operate the pre-rinse cycle on the SMS66MW01A? All the literature makes it sound like there is a stand alone pre-rinse program but I can't find it! Thanks.

Hi Eva, thanks for your question. Our dishwashers do not have a stand alone pre-rinse cycle, the pre-rinse is already included in the program cycles. Regards, Bosch Home Australia.
