Best Bosch Home Appliances Built-in Dishwashers

Coming from an 8-year-old F&P DishDrawer, I absolutely love this Bosch SMU6HAS01A dishwasher. It cleans better (even on the 60-minute quick cycle)… Read more

and dries better too (including plastics). The only downside compared to a dual DishDrawer is that when a cycle is running, there’s nowhere to put dirty dishes. But in every other way, this Bosch is a huge improvement. What really surprised me is that one Bosch cycle uses about the same water and energy as a single DishDrawer, yet it holds around 2.5x more and cost about $1,000 less. I nearly didn’t buy it because of some of the negative Series 6 reviews online. Very glad I did.

I wish there was an option for negative star ratings — this has honestly been the worst dishwasher experience ever. We’ve already paid over $1100… Read more

for repairs and have been waiting 3–4 weeks for parts to arrive. Extremely frustrating.

I used to be a huge fan of Bosch dishwashers, but sadly the quality seems to have dropped significantly. I own two Bosch dishwashers and both broke down just over a year later.

Really disappointing experience overall. Save yourself the hassle and think twice before buying.

This dishwasher must have been designed by someone who had never actually used a dishwasher in their life. I’ve had Bosch dishwashers for the last 20… Read more

years and have always loved them, so I replaced my last one with another Bosch - big mistake! I want my old dishwasher back. Here are the problems: 1. You practically have to break your finger to push the button hard enough for it to register that it’s been pressed, as the buttons do not depress they’re just meant to be touch sensitive. 2. The new cutlery drawer is useless but luckily you can remove it and throw it away. The problem is that if you use the cutlery drawer there’s not enough room on the regular top row for tall glasses or drink bottles. 3. The sections in the cutlery basket are much smaller because they have to go over the prongs as there’s no dedicated cutlery basket area any more, so the walls in the cutlery basket are so wide the pockets that the cutlery sits in are much smaller, for example, I can’t fit the immersion blender bottom in the cutlery basket any more. 4. The dishes seem to come out much wetter than my old machine, even after selecting the “extra dry” function

Get a different brand!!

So quiet and such great features! – We recently renovated our kitchen and decided it was time for an integrated dishwasher. Having always used a Bosch in the past, the choice to stick… Read more

with a Bosch machine was easy. Bosch dishwashers are the quietest on the market, and the cycles are so easy to use. The speed perfect function means you can shorten any cycle (apart from the express wash) and keep running costs down.

With this Series 8 model you can also download the app and set and run from your phone, not that I’ve ever needed to use this function as you can manually set start time on the unit very easily anyway.

The dishes are reliably clean and a regular machine wash cycle keeps the machine tip top too. My favourite function of all is the little red beam that lights up on the floor so you know when it’s running, and when it’s completed it’s wash it sounds a cute little alarm. Very convenient!

Pretty good, except the shortest cycle seems to be 1h. When I press the "speed perfect" it displays codes like r001,d00,A00,101, 602 (with an ongoing beeeeeeep sound), rE in succession when I keep pressing it. ..but nothing seems to happen.

Purchased Bosch series 6 semi integrated dishwasher from good guys April 2023. In June 2025 the dishwasher heater failed once out of warranty. … Read more

Bosch technician came and replaced the heater for $365. Worked fine for 3 weeks and now the heater has failed again. Service call has been lodged with Bosch. We will see if they warrant the original repair.

Really disappointed. Ongoing problems with the machine only being able to be turned on when it feels like it. Have done all the troubleshooting,… Read more

unplug, trip power board, say a few Hail Mary’s try again different power point. When it works it’s great - trouble is you can’t predict when it will be operational. Super frustrating when the machine is full & has to be unloaded & hand washed. In all honesty I would not recommend this product due to its lack of reliability & Bosch’s standard of customer service. Technician has just left after I paid $200 to be told the electrics are fried from cockroaches. The machine has had this problem since coming out of the box. Bottom line, if you live anywhere where there are cockroaches, learn from my $2000 all up lesson and do not buy Bosch! P.S. cleaning & maintenance got a good score along with noise because the machine is purely decorative & of no use, like an expensive rock!
