Pros: Cleans well, looks good
Cons: Don't like the way the little racks keep coming loose.
Overall: We got this to replace our old Bosch that died after 12 years. Very happy with the old one. The new one is better. It's quiet and does a good job in cleaning. Cycle could be quicker, but we generally put it on overnight and empty it in the morning, so the time doesn't matter. The fingerprint resistant stainless front is fantastic. I've seen some that really hold prints. this is as easy to clean as a benchtop. Great.
Only problem is the little pieces in the racks that keep on coming loose. It's a bit of a humbug to have to keep on putting them back in place.

Pros: Great until something goes wrong!
Cons: Leaks like a sieve 3 months out of warranty
Overall: Great machine up til now! Great wash, quiet, looks good and fits well with the rest of our kitchen. Cant say that i would buy another Bosch dishwasher though. My 4 star rating of this appliance is only based on its performance til it croaked it. Goes down to 1 star based on technical support availablity, service agent availability in West Australia and Bosch's willingness to give out technical information with regard to problem solving and fault finding.

Pros: solid quiet machine. cleans well, even heavy loads. looks good.
filter at the base of machine is easy to clean.
easy to use. can adjust rack easily to fit larger dishes.
have used it daily for almost 2 years now and no major problems.
Cons: On initial purchase, received the free standing version, even though I thought we were getting the built in.Had some difficulty sourcing the brackets required to convert the free standing version to the built in version.
After one year of usage, the plastic zig zag bar in the upper tray that supports the stem of wine glasses keeps falling of mid cycle.
small plastic clips on the lower tray that stabilise racks have become loose and keep falling off. so far has not affected performance, but it is irritating to have to retrieve them regularly from the filter.
Overall: all up this is a good machine. We had a Bosh in our previous house and so we leaned towards purchasing another one and have not been disappointed. In the end, the dishes come up clean every time and I don't have to run the load again. I pre rinse in the sink if the dishes are very messy, but I can get away without doing this all the time. The previous Bosh dishwasher we had broke down once and I was impressed with the knowledge of the tech that came out to fix the machine. (although he did charge by the minute). so far have not needed him again. would recommend.

Pros: Cleans everything very well, very quiet, countdown timer is useful, nice appearance and finish.
Cons: Fold down rack in the lower rear section will fold down by itself when it is more than half full with plates, not good for stacking. Plates will come out a bit damp occasionally after sitting for a while. Base could have been vertical in stead of sloped to match up with kickboards for rest of kitchen.
Overall: We find this a very good dishwasher and are happy with it after a year and a half. The plate rack collapsing while half stacked was very annoying however we moved the cultery container to the back and this resolved that problem although this design flaw takes away from the flexible cutlery container benefits. Otherwise satisfied.

Pros: Great shade of stainless steel look, very effective wash cycles, reliable
Cons: A little expensive, but you get what you pay for!
Overall: Having come from a dishlex I can say the Bosch is a much better unit and looks very sophisticated in my kitchen. It makes very little noise and the dishes and pans come out lookign great. The fingerprint less finish certainly is a god send with my 2 young lads who seem to live in the kitchen. I would highly reccomend this unit and shop about like I did as I saved $150 from the orginal store price, very happy with that.

Pros: Great brand name, looks good but thats about it.
Cons: Nothing works properly, one week everything is fine, the next everything isn't working. Has broken glasses during three washes and chipped plates. But doesn't wash anything properly.
Overall: I spent good hard earned money on something that doesn't work for me. I can't believe I spent so much money on this and got pretty much a lemon. I don't know all the hype about these dishwashers are.
