Installed yesterday & did my first wash with 4 large pots & 1 greasy frying pans, wine glasses, plates,bowls, greasy ladles etc. Great result! Glasses were streak-free. Pots & pans came up perfectly. Absolutely quiet so can run at night if we wish. No doubt, the pot was 2.45hrs, which is a bit long so will try half wash or eco from now on. So happy with this dishwasher.

Best dishwasher. It's quiet, good value for money, cleans super dirty dishes like new (no pre-rinse needed)! The internal rack layout is perfect and sturdy - and everything fits nicely inside.

To begin, I am an avid reader, but this is the first review I have posted for a very, very long time - that says it all right there. Reason being, we had a Bosch dishwasher in a previous home about 15 years ago and it was fantastic. Subsequently, we decided to purchase this model approximately three months ago for a renovation 'without' reading any reviews prior.....as stated.....my mistake! Admittedly, we have used a few 'reputable' brands already installed in subsequent homes (Ariston and Westinghouse), but they never quite matched the perfor...

Doesn't get dishes clean on normal wash, has no place to keep plastics from flipping over, doesn't have an alarm to let you know it's finished.
Cost twice as much as our old Westinghouse and it's nowhere near as good.
Posted a review on the Bosch website. Got contacted by a Bosch representative who couldn't have possibly been less helpful.
Made suggestions on programming which this machine cannot do.

I’ve had the dishwasher for over a month and it’s a great machine so far. The best thing for me is that it fits all the different dishes perfectly. Such as breakfast bowls and long stem wine glasses. It’s also easy to use, with a simple button layout.

I purchased this dishwasher (Bosh SMS50E32AU/44) in August 2016 but it broke 3 times within 4 years. Each time it had a different error code but with the same message: check the water level. Bosh fixed twice, 1 within 2 years warranty period and 1 during the 3rd year of the consumer insurance period. (After many calls and an email before I know such insurance exists). During the second repairing, I was told the machine had a factory faulty on one of the parts. I asked for the replacement of the machine but got rejected.

I don’t understand why...

We purchased this model just before Christmas 2019. It does wash the dishes well, we use the Super Wash setting and also the “Extra-Dry” setting. However, “Extra-dry” is a somewhat of a stretch, in fact, we’d change it to “Extra-wet” when the cycle is complete, some of the dishes are dry, others not so much....but the interior and the inside of the door are dripping wet every single time we open it after use. We don’t understand how this machine can have an “extra dry” option that simply doesn’t work. Are we doing something wrong? We’ve never experienced anything like this in previous dishwashers, they’ve always dried perfectly.

This company was nightmare to deal with. Huge delays when a replacement dishwasher needed to be sent out because the original one was mouldy. The replacement dishwasher was also mouldy.

Heard so many great things about Bosh dishwashers but my experience has been nothing but disappointing. Rarely cleaned dishes well. Often had to do more than one wash. Streaky glasses and spotty cutlery even when using the recommended tablets. Tablets never dissolved properly so powder was the only option. Dishes were never dry at the end so I had to open the door to let them air dry.
Just 6 months outside of the warranty, the heating element has died. Not something I expected from a brand that has a reputation of long lasting dishwashers. Bosch customer support were at least friendly and professional and have replaced the part under warranty. Hopefully it holds up.

We purchased this dishwasher today after our old one finally died, it's so far done 3 loads of various items & has not missed a beat. Dishes, cutlery and pots & pans have come out super clean & have good shine to them. The machine is so quiet you basically have to stand next to it to even know it's on. Highly recommend to purchase this dishwasher if you want one that ticks all the boxes.

I bought this April 2020. The reviews of the smell are true and it smells like really hot plastic. When you wash a plastic bowl the smell is stronger. I did expect a new machine smell but not that smell.

The extra function, yep start laughing, it does not dry, all it does is keep using electricity, popping the door open does a better job.

Super Quiet that people say, it's not super quiet, it sounds like every other dishwasher. The only quiet bit was the water entering the machine, I had to pop open the door to see if it was coming out. FYI t...

Yeah, big mistake buying this machine. We were replacing a fantastic 15yo Miele which had broken. Technician said it would cost almost as much to repair as the price of a new one so went to E&S and bought this Bosch. Everything in our home is Bosch, inc the burglar alarm. We normally love the brand. But this machine is the pits. Poor washing, poor drying. There are no runners for the bottom basket so when you pull it out you have to remember to hold it up or it will crash down onto the open door. It's always running out of RinseAid (the tank is...

Coming from an older bosch which gave up after 10 years of service. Good cleaning, inexpensive, easy to use, not ever clogged. In the standard program works perfect. Took one star out as the quick program does not dry the dishes sufficiently

I purchased my Bosch SMS50E32AU from appliances online in 2018 for $596.00. I couldn't install it so I bought a dolly, tap fittings and a new threaded tap (cost around $100) to hook it up to my tap, wheeling it to the back door to drain.
I wash every 1-2 days using the short cycle pots n pans for most washes,never pre-rinsing and unless over stacked everything comes out sparkling.
I run a dishwasher cleaner through it once every few months and the polytub is easy to keep clean.
I haven't had 1 issue and I'm as happy as the day I bought it.
Negatives - plastic comes out wet and often overturn filling with water so I use a drying rack for those.
Easy to use, great basic dishwasher, would definitely recommend.

Just brought this dishwasher 6 weeks ago. Love it! Easy to pack, plenty of space which we fit a whole days worth of dishes in. Fits large plates well. Love the wine glass rack. Dish draw is better then cutlery basket. As other reviews, there is a smell at new but it’s just a ‘new smell’ that goes in a few washes. Only thing is auto cycle is 3 hours long, but apart from that it cleans perfectly so we don’t mind the long cycle.

Purchased in August 2015. Died approximately four years later.
Error message E-09 - heat pump or pc board error. Both are expensive repairs. Repairmen tell me not to bother, just buy a new one.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Not to mention, this dishwasher was never that great to start with. The "finish powerball" recommended product NEVER dissolved fully. Constantly running out of rinse aid. Washes were extremely long.
Forget Bosch. This dishwasher dying within four years of purchase has put me off the brand for life.

When first bought this dishwasher, had put on side in station wagon, and when came home water leaking out of box it was in. Rang retailer and told that Bosch test all their machines before send off to retailer. So, although anxious, opened the box and opened the door, and bad smell of stale water. After machine installed, put through a hot cycle with dishwasher tablet and smell still there, but as continued to use, the smell has gone away. Was impressed with quality of washing, especially glass. Plastics sometimes remain with some grease, ...

Have been using this appliance for about 5 years now. It may be older as it was installed when we moved in.

Not a single issue, does a great job cleaning the dishes.
Easy to use and no fuss at all.
I expect it to last a long time.

This is my second Bosch dishwasher. Very reliable brand. Read some reviews and saw how people loved the cutlery tray. I don't, so removed it, as it stopped me putting certain things in top tray. Extremely quiet and power/water efficient. Would buy another one. Highly recommended

We bought this to replace another Bosch dishwasher that stopped working (we suspect it got fried by a power surge during a storm). The previous one gave us 6 good years of service. RIP, Serie 8.
One of the things I most like about the design is the cutlery tray at the top so much better than the standard cutlery basket (although this model does come with one of those also). The cutlery gets cleaner, drier and is less prone to rust marks. It also comes with a stemmed wine glass attachment, but I can’t comment on how well that works.
The control...
