Best Bosch Home Appliances Freestanding Dishwashers

How can I activate the water hardness setting - I’ve held down the setup for 3 seconds and moved through all the options but the H:00-07 is not… Read more

there. Australia does have hard water in areas and I want to turn this on to reduce lime scale buildup on my dishes - why has Bosch disabled this and can it be reactivated?

Purchased a 45cm SPS6IKI01A Bosch dishwasher a year ago. It stopped working after 3 months operation. Called Bosch who sent out a service… Read more

technician. Technician tells us that the Control board had a small cockroach inside it and so isn't covered by warranty! There re very few cockroaches in the kitchen but I get kitchen treated for cockroaches anyway. I contact Bosch again with the part number for the control board and ask for someone to come an replace it (at my cost) They send out another service technician who tells me that part that needs to be replaced (I'd already told them this$%^!) and sends me a quote to replace and a bill for the call out charge! The quote is almost the same cost as the dishwasher I ask then to go ahead anyway. They call me and say they don't want to do it. And even if they do do it they can't warrant the work.

So I'm left with a useless piece of junk I can't use or sell because of one cockroach.

Suggest you buy from a brand that provides a more meaningful warranty.

The dishwasher washes okay. It's not great but it's not bad. If you use the Vario drawer (low sliding rack at the top) it's hit and miss how well… Read more

they get washed. What this review is about is the RUST SPOTS on the front panel that appeared within months of buying it. I contacted Appliances Online who put me onto Bosch who said they would arrange a service call. I supplied photos. After 4 weeks having NOT been contacted to arrange a service call, I contacted Bosch again. I spent 35 minutes on the phone while they tried t work out what their response was which they decided was that the rust spot is not their problem. There was no apology for not contacting me. No explanation for the total lack of communication. I requested their response in writing. Here it is:

"Based on the information provided our tech team advised that Tea stains on stainless steel are primarily caused by surface oxidation due to chlorides, tannins, and environmental factors, leading to cosmetic brown discoloration.

Environmental Factors

Tea staining is most common in coastal areas where salt from ocean spray settles on stainless steel surfaces. The salt retains moisture, especially in high humidity, creating a corrosive environment that breaks down the protective chromium oxide layer on the steel, resulting in brown discoloration. Other environmental contributors include pollution, dust, industrial fumes, and temperature fluctuations, which can accelerate the staining process."

Okay, so we live nowhere near the ocean so I'm not sue why they think their 'out' is salt spray! But this is a stainless steel panel we are talking about so early rusting is, in fact, your responsibility Bosch under warranty!! It's weird how our much larger double-door stainless steel Samsung fridge has absolutely no rusting on it after 3 years but the Bosch dishwasher that was only 6 months old when I made a warranty claim does. It's not 'Environmental', Bosch. It's the poor quality of your product.

Brought this dishwasher from appliances online, their service was excellent they delivered the dishwasher and removed my old one. The delivery guys… Read more

were great. This dishwasher had lots of excellent reviews on their web site so after reading the reviews I purchased it. This dishwasher is a cheaper one at $775 and it certainly is cheap. The buttons are terrible on the front display and its not good at cleaning the dishes contrary to all the good reviews. Won't be purchasing Bosch again. For some reason I was unable to leave a review on Appliance's online website. I wonder why.

If I could rate no stars I would. Faulty when unpacked. Smells like burning rubber for the last month. Stinks out the whole kitchen every time it’s… Read more

left open. Nothing fixes the smell and believe me I’ve tried everything. Bosch refuse to replace or repair or even call back. Honestly will never buy Bosch again.

Cleans fine but is not nice to use – It cleans fine, however its annoying to use. The lights on the control panel light up the whole area so you are not very clear on what setting you… Read more

have chosen. There is no timer on it so no idea how long until its finished. The top tray is stiff to pull out, so you have to yank on it which makes everything fall over. The bottom tray is the absolute pits. The row of tines at the back are not big enough for dinner plates, only the front ones are. This means it's heavier at the front so when you pull the tray out, it drops down into the gap of the door hinge, making it all fall. I use the dishwasher every day and it drives me insane as you forget about it until everything comes crashing down.

Worse washing machine I bought. Waste of money. Can't see the time for the programme.I don't even know if it's a start or a pause. No specific button… Read more

for pause. Don't know how much time is left to finish the cycle. The display is useless. After moving to a new home, I started to use it.
