Worked alright for first few months but now 12 months in its terrible

Serie 6 SMU66MS02A

My previous Bosch dishwasher lasted 6.5 years, which wasn't terrible but wasn't awesome, but worked fairly reliably until the end when water got into the motor and killed it. I bought another Bosch based on favourable internet reviews. It is the second worst appliance I have ever bought. We rinse all our really dirty dishes before putting them in the machine so as not to clog the filters, but having said that if you dont pull the filter out every 1-2 weeks and clean it the machine starts acting up. The problem we have now is the tablet isn't dissolving and ending up in the front of the top rack undissolved. Dishes are coming out as dirty or worse than they went in. Glasses come out absolutely filthy on the outside where we need to scrub them with a brush (even with glass mode on). Drying performance is mediocre (we use Finish rinse aid at all times).

The tablet not dissolving and the machine not cleaning almost at all now is the final straw. This machine is 1 year old and typically used once a day. I'll never buy another Bosch dishwasher again. It's a pity because the Bosch Cordless drill I have (10+years old) and the Bosch washing machine (13 years old) work flawlessly.

Avoid.

Very Quiet and Energy Efficient

Serie 6 SMP66MX01A (Stainless Steel)

We just purchased this under-bench model having been without a dishwasher for a couple of months. My husband removed our old, broken dishwasher and easily installed this one to fit perfectly in its place.
Firstly, we are amazed at how very quiet it is when running. It uses around 10-12 litres of water, depending on the programme used, which is certainly a lot less water we would use when hand washing.
Inside, I like the VarioDrawer for cutlery/utensils, the high quality baskets, the GlassSecure Tray and the included large item Sprayhead.
I like the good range of wash programmes and the option to adjust various settings. The quick 29 min programme is awesome and so far is our preferred programme and perfect for our needs.
A very handy feature is the InfoLight that shows us at a glance (on the floor) that the dishwasher is still running (yes, it's quiet) and I like that the dishwasher switches off automatically after the programme has ended.
So, we are happy with our purchase and look forward to many years of not having to hand wash ever again!!!

Bosch Serie 6 Bulit-Under Dishwasher Black Inox

Serie 6 SMP66MX05A

This Bosch Black Inox coloured dishwasher has been amazing in every single way. It's really quiet and has 6 programs. Has an extra dry option for additional drying too. My favourite feature is the cutlery drawer at the top which is so good it ensures that your cutlery never falls over. Not many dishwashers have this and it's one of the reasons I purchased this dishwasher. The appearance of the dishwasher is sleek and modern with no fingerprints appearing because of the texture and colour. By far my favourite household appliance. It's so helpful with 3 children and now I spend less time in the kitchen.

Quiet Cleans and Dry's

Serie 6 SMP66MX01A (Stainless Steel)

Could not be happier with this dishwasher, it cleans very effectively and is very quiet when compared to our previous dishwasher. The drying cycle is fantastic, it is only some plastic containers that generally are not fully dry. My previous dishwasher was an omega, and this one is significantly improved in all aspects over that one, but when comparing to other peoples dishwasher's we find this one seems to outperform other brands. I am not sure what the series 8 would have over this dishwasher that would warrant purchasing the top of the range.

Made in Germany...disappointed purchase

Serie 6 SMP66MX03A

Machine whilst works well but the cosmetic part of it is terrible quality. The bosch logo doesn't last. Keeps falling off. The chrome handle develops hairline crack in less than 2 years of use. Was replace the first time around FOC by bosch and it happened again less than 1 year after it was replaced. One would expect a made in Germany product have good quality control. Rang customer service team about it and am told there will be a charge for parts and labour simply because it's out of warranty.

Could do better!

Serie 6 SMV6HCX01A

I wish I still had the 20 year old Dishlex this replaced! Dishes mostly, but not always, come out clean but always come out soaking wet, regardless of the amount of rinse aid used and a 2hr 45m cycle. It's quiet enough and the red dot is a slightly helpful but practically unnecessary gimmick, as is the Home Connect wifi functionality. Overall I'm disappointed for the price paid and my expectations of a Bosch product.

Doesn't clean well at all. Don't buy the hype.

Serie 6 SMV66MX01A

Bought this as an upgrade from our Omega dishwasher thinking Bosch would be a massive step up in quality given all the hype around German engineering and other reviews. Constantly we are putting dishes BACK into the machine after washing - they come out with grime and stains all over them! We've tried all the different cycle options (auto, hygienic etc) and checked for blockages/obstructions but to our disappointment it's just the way it cleans. I don't have many regrets in life, but this is one of them.

I never thought I could love a dishwasher

Bosch Serie 6 Built-in Dishwashers

But Bosch has taught me otherwise.
The dishwasher that came with our house (DeLonghi) was a waste of space. Didn’t clean anything properly. After seeing a Bosch in action while on holiday I knew I had to get one. The Serie 6 is fantastic. A lot quieter than the old dishwasher and works well even on the 30 minute setting. The Hour program is enough to even clean pots and pans. It just works and I love it.
Nice bonus of on floor light to show its on and also the wifi integration. The interior shelves are thoughtfully laid out and accomodate all our plates and glasses.
I will never go back. Bosch forever.

Cleans perfectly! Do Recommend

Serie 6 SMU6HAS01A

Dishwasher works great. Dishes come out perfectly clean and without any residue. Long wash cycles but comes with water efficiency. Operates pretty quietly. Do rinse dishes before putting in dishwasher so imagine that helps. No issues so far.

Excellent Dishwasher

Serie 6 SMP66MX01A (Stainless Steel)

Easy to install, this is my second Bosch dishwasher, both the series 6 & series 8 which I had in my previous house have a variety of programs for all cleaning requirements. The space available in the series 6 is amazing with fold up/down wire restrainers for plates/cups etc.
I had a teapot with a stainless strainer that was badly discoloured but one sensor clean wash brought this up like new. I especially like the red light on the floor as a operating indication is perfect as opening a dishwasher when going is no fun.
I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a reliable, good value dishwasher.

Cleans great, pretty quiet, simple but good

Serie 6 SMU66JS01A

Got the under bench as we had limited depth of bench to work with. Was easily installed and worked well. Did have a strong plastic smell on arrival but called Bosch who express posted some dishwasher cleaner. After a few runs on max temp the smell is very nearly gone. Looks great and very happy with it. Has a mechanical child lock, would be good if this was built into the control panel instead of being a lever above.

Questions & Answers

Karen S.
Karen S. ·  · Serie 6 SMP66MX05A

Does my dishwasher display the time remaining in the optical light display onto the floor as I'm unable to set using the manual instructions as it doesn't show the 5:01/5:02 setting?

Warren
Warren · 

Deleted first answer, was too much of a rant. The 5.01 and 5.02 settings are for the feature 'timelight', which only comes with the fully integrated dishwashers, ie not this model. This serie 6 model has 'infolight', which as you know is just the red optical spot on the floor when it's running. That's all we get; there is no 'time remaining' display because the display on the top of the door goes dark, once started. Yes the Bosch website (still) says this model has a 'time remaining' display but not really, given that it's dark once started. The manual itself covers many models, some of which have options that others don't. Hope that helps.

My new Bosch serie 6 arrived with a piece of long white plastic like a seal that I cannot find a use for. It’s as wide as the dishwasher.
Is it a spare part or should it be installed somewhere? The other items included had a clear purpose.

Warren
Warren · 

I think it's a strip to protect the benchtop above, from moisture right where the door opens. Look hard in the (crappy) instruction pics and you should spot it. I didn't need it as I have stone benchtop. If you have laminate you should use it. Hope this helps.

Just bought a Series 6, haven't run it up yet, but just have a question, does the unit have a clock in it or is it just for time remaining?

Many thanks.

Time remaining

If it's a top of door display, it goes out when you start it. Not really a time remaining display since it's dark. More a 'time to run' display until you start it.
