Lasted 3.5yrs and then packed it in, made to fail in my opinion. Show details

Childlock is useless – Don't buy if you need a dishwasher with a child lock. For the childlock to work the machine has to be on, and when it's on and not running it constantly flashes which is really annoying. I don't know why anyone would code it to do that, it's insane. If anything it should have been coded to turn the display off if child lock is put on while machine is in standby

My second Bosch dishwasher and the best yet – Amazing results from this dishwasher on each program. Simple to use and easy to clean too. Had to remove the cutlery tray so wine glasses fit on the top basket, no worries as I'm not keen on these trays anyhow. The dishwasher comes with a cutlery basket that works well. Show details ·  1

Fell apart after only 1 month – what can I say, I thought paying $1000 for a dishwasher will bring value to my property and also last for a decade, but since day one I noticed a few issues. First the dishwasher has a very strong Bitumen asphalt smell when its running, this goes around the house, apparently this is to make sure the dishwasher is silent, why on earth would… Read more

engineers think this is a good idea at all to put bitumen outside of the dishwasher. The dishes also end up absorbing the smell, while the smell reduced overtime it hasn't gone away even after a month

Secondly we noticed after a month the dishwasher went from completely silent, to very noise. Suddenly the motor started making so much noise and you can hear the water splashing around, we always make sure the arm doesn't hit anything. This is only after one month use, completely unacceptable.

The other issue is with the door hinge, seems to rapidly defoliate even after short usage its clicking and rubbing against the plastics.

Reading more reviews it seems the new generation of Bosch Dishwashers have so many problems, they cut corners clearly and still sell it to you for top dollar, I really regret not buying a Haier dishwasher which was even more energy and water efficient than this one and nearly half the price.

So far so good – Very impressed so far with the performance of this dishwasher. As other have said it arrived with a strong plasticy smell which diminishes with time. We were a little worried that it wouldn’t wash and dry as well as our old school dishwasher (used a ton of hot water and dishes sparkling) but it is better! We use the auto/extra dry and speed… Read more

perfect program for fantastic results. Open the door after the cycle and dishes are completely dry in 10 minutes. Our family room/tv area is close by and the dishwasher is very quiet. The only issue we had was that the water inlet hose was much shorter than our old washer (and also coming out from opposite side of unit to tap) so we had to get an extension. Very happy and highly recommended.

Easy to use, quiet, energy saving, looks great – After our last dishwasher of a different name, this dishwasher is so quiet you don't know you have it on, and importantly to us it is energy saving. I easily installed it myself with no problem with the instructions provided. Dishes and cutlery come out spotless every time. We chose stainless steel to match our other appliances and it looks great. Show details

OMG it is good – Just upgraded from an F&P two draw which was probably 10yrs old. OMG it is like night and day. I didn't know dishwashers could clean that well and they come out piping hot.....literally sanitised. That was on the lowest setting, I am too scared to go higher. I installed myself and it qas quite easy. Two gripes. The water connection has a large… Read more ·  1

square control valve that didn't fit through the holes in the cabinetry and you can't cut a bigger hole with a circular hole cutting bit once you have hole, so out with the reciprocal saw. Uglier than a nice circle. This water connection had a screw which took a few goes till it was watertight.

Interesting Bosch sensors this review on their website, not sure why.

Never recommend Bosch dishwasher to anyone – Very poor customer service experience I spent 1000 dollars on purchasing and again was asked to spent 700 dollars on repair under warranty Show details

Not great – Recently purchased a Bosch dishwasher after my two drawer F&P died. Dishes don’t get washed properly and I’m forever re washing them by hand or having to almost clean them entirely before putting them in the dishwasher, which defies the point of it. I clean the filter daily. For two months we had an awful plastic smell too, that was obviously… Read more

from being in packaging, but it affected the smell of the dishes. Next time, I will spend extra and by the F&P again. Not impressed.

Don't buy Bosch products – These products are poorly made and my oven rusted in no time, so I won't waste money and effort with Bosch. They have poor customer service for warranty claims. Therefore, although recommended by Choice, rated based only on their function, but fails in durability. Show details
