Bosch SGU55E05AU

Terrible – My Bosch dishwasher is a lemon, wish it smelt like one !! Never again for any Bosch appliances, bought this one on shops recommendation. $1100 down the drain !! Dishes are never properly washed. Difficult to load, cant load half of what I could in 20 yr old Blanco which we replaced. Tacky plastic racks that keep collapsing. Dishwashing powder doesnt dispense properly

Now has burning plastic smell when operated, smells like it is about to catch fire. This a 6 month old machine

Service people are unable to diagnose problem/s. Had several visits with no resolution.

Bosch customer service is non existent, they suggest I hang an air freshener in it to get rid of smell

OK – Overall,Happy I would say it does the job but you have to keep the filter reasonably clean of food scraps just like any other dishwasher otherwise it doesn't wash properly. I like the fact you can see the time remaining.You can also switch from a long wash to short wash without stopping it. Quieter than most other dishwashers. Electrical Fault that tripped the safety switch, although this was fixed under warranty.

Excellent – Have had this dishwasher for nearly 3 years. Bought new on a special clearence weekend at Good guys for under $900. Has 1/2 load facility which saves water and we use it often.I have found that Bosch products I have owned seem to be better qulity and more reliable than others and if you can get one for a good price then you have a true bargain. Looks great. Quiet operation. Washes dishes well. Reliable-never had a problem. The stainless steel front shows fingermarks.

Excellent – Excellent dishwasher at affordable price. Hope it will live to its reputation (in Choice magazine Bosch dishwashers came 1st at not needing repairs and people would buy the same brand again). Will reccomend without hesitation. Wanted to get Bosch for its reputation for reliability (previous Dishlex broke just after 2 years of use and cost half the price of the dishwasher to repair!). This particular model was in our price range (got it at bargaine price at $915.00 - make sure, you always negotiate!). My mum also bought one and was quite happy with it. I love it! It is very very quite, washes very well, nice design, has a few usefull features, can fit hips into it. None to mention so far

Good – Really happy with it- looks good and works well. good quality machine which I hope will last for many years. parents have had their bosch which is pretty much the same for 6yrs and it hasn't had any problems. bought this one for a new kitchen and was happy with its looks and quiet operation- its in an open plan kitchen lounge. it has a very quick eco function taking only 30 mins and it seems to be just as good washing as longer cycles. half load option is good and being able to slide the top basket into higher or lower position helps when washing glasses. sometimes the plastic containers don't dry well
