Bought it brand new 2 weeks ago, installed into our brand new kitchen. It was very disappointing as the machine doesn’t dry the plates or anything in there! Everything come out wet even with “extra dry” function activated.

Have had Bosch before and loved it. ( Machine bought in 2004 and replaced under safety warranty About 2016). Plastics sometimes needed a bit of a wipe over to dry completely but that didn’t worry us. We are currently rebuilding after bushfire and purchased the slimline to fit into a kitchenette. Series 6, German built. It hardly dries anything! Unstacking always means getting out the tea towel. Disappointed, and makes me question whether we should buy this brand for the main kitchen. It is noisier than the larger model, also. Everything else is excellent but the non drying is a nuisance to say the least, as the machine is fairly pricey.

I did heaps of research on dishwashers after our current one turned into a dish wetter (hardly cleaned. Never dried).
We installed this machine this week and we were so surprised at how well this machine works!
Plates consistently come out clean and dry. Cutlery is so shiny and clean. Glasses polished and clear. Plastic and Tupperware is dry 99% of the time, and the remaining 1% is only due to a couple containers that I have sometimes come out with a few drops on it.

A quick scrape is all that’s needed. Don’t have to pre-rinse (although I usually do).

I did so much research into dishwashers and we’re so happy we invested the extra few hundred dollars for the Bosch series 6.

I would totally 100% recommend this dishwasher.

We bought a new Bosch SMS66MI02A dishwasher from The Good Guys in Cairns last Wednesday to replace the SMEG dishwasher that was in our current home when we bought it after it had once again failed.

We had a Bosch at our previous residence which replaced a failed Kleenmaid dishwasher after it flooded the house.

That Bosch was great but this one is so quiet, I have to listen to check if it is actually running and it does a great job in washing and drying everything.

It broke after 4 months. This is a quite expensive dishwasher and we bought it to replace our old one that broke down every 2 months, so it's quite unforgivable that it broke so fast. What makes it worse is that trying to get through to get it repaired is near impossible - they're either too busy or blame their computer system for being broken. Will avoid Bosch like the plague from here on.

Only had this for a few days but so far great. Very quiet, quick cycles and delay function to set to run at off peak times. Washes well so far. Made in Germany so is a real Bosch (recommend over the Turkish made Bosch that smell like fish). Panel and mechanics seem very solid and durable unlike the cheaper alternatives I looked at.

We bought the machine from the Good Guys, who were very helpful. The machine is extremely quiet, sometimes you wouldn't know it was operating.
The washing cycle cleans efficiently and have always been satisfied with level of cleanliness.
It appears to need 2.5 hours to dry items though. anything less and dishes etc may not be dry.

Two and a bit years young, our Bosch silence plus dishwasher Series 6 has died. We loved this dishwasher and for the price, thought we would have it for 5-10 years. Sadly just after our warranty was over, it had an e-19 error. We spent $270 having someone out to repair, and they said it would cost another $400-500 to get a new computer board to fix the problem.

UPDATE: Bosch have been extremely helpful and sent out someone to fix our dishwasher. He didn’t have the parts needed so had to come back the following week however now it is working perfectly again.
Thankyou Bosch for the help.

I loved this dishwasher. Its excellent, functional and a joy to use, I have used so many in the past and even love the white colour. Weird but I THINK ITS WAY better than silver. Well done Bosch.

Extremely satisfied with this dishwasher and I doubt I would go back to a full size (60cm) model. I love this size. Still big enough for the large loads!

No need to scrape or rinse your dishes and everything comes out clean and dry. I find it does use a lot of rinse aid to achieve plastic dryness.

Had this machine for just over 6 months and so far I have no problems with clogged filters or food remaining after the cycle.

Definitely worth every penny.

Impressive, love it; easy to use and runs very quiet. Easy to load and I am using the Auto wash setting. The dishes are sparkly clean. Would recommend purchasing this machine.
I included a product care package; if I purchased again would not buy this care package.

I bought this dishwasher approx 2 months ago and I've been disappointed....Whilst I agree with others here that yes its very quiet, has many functions etc, It doesn't perform well overall. The dishes ALWAYS come out wet! this is despite selecting the extra dry function.
My previous Blanko dishwasher dried the dishes much better.
I expected better than this from Bosch.

The electronics are not protected against moisture and cockroaches with that resin coating some of the better manufactures use.
After little use the controller board failed and with labour and parts, the cost would have been more than half the original purchase price of the washer. One little circuit board.
The washer worked well but I would never buy another Bosch appliance because of the cost of repairs.
I will now buy a $600 washer and feel I have better value for money.
The cost value for repairs should be included with these appliance reviews as I would have chosen a product considering repair costs if I had known.

I am very disappointed with this very expensive dishwasher, it's only 2 years and 4 months old, it already needs repairing ( heating pump ), it was made in Germany, not Turkey and Bosch wants nothing to do with problem. I will not waste my money on another Bosch appliance again.
