Worked alright for first few months but now 12 months in its terrible
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 di...
Read moressolving 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.Purchased in December 2019 at Appliances Online for $1,119.

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.

This is my 3rd Bosch, 1st in house when bought, second purchased 10 yrs ago and recently could not be repaired by Bosch (3 times!). This model was delivered a couple of months ago, it is super quiet and looks good, does a pretty reasonable job of washing, not great! There is always a lot of water still on the dishes at completion even with the use of rinse aid. I find the re-set operation tricky and frustrating....I seem unable to get it to 'forget' and 're-set'...the instructions are brief. Additional functions, are they another stand alon...
Read moree short program or something to add to the other longer, regular programs and how do you know they are engaged?? I have tried to use Extra Dry but not even sure if I did, or simply that it is useless and made no difference to the water retention on contents. I don't use my dishwashers a lot, so I guess I can live with it, if you entertain, you need a dishwasher! We purchased direct from Bosch.Purchased in June 2021 for $1,160.

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.

We bought a secondhand Miele dishwasher 30 years ago, thinking it was near new. When it needed a part we were told that dishwasher was 45 years old. How we miss it. We decided to renovate the whole kitchen after the Miele finally broke down, and four months ago bought what we considered the best on the market in our price range. A Miele replacement was too expensive for us.
The next best thing, we decided was a Bosch made in Germany, and settled on the SMV66MX01A/74 a built in with a front panel to match our new kitchen. Fitting was exact and o...
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.

We bought our dishwasher two months ago and ever since we turned it on it is made a terrible sound. We have tried many different cycles and for some reason it sounds like a helicopter every 3 to 5 minutes. We’ve had someone come look at it and it still makes the same sound very disappointed would never buy one again. It’s a real pity because we only bought it because on the front it says super silence 44DB definitely not.

This dishwasher is easy to use and cleans well. We scrape the food off items before putting them in but don't need to rinse or scrub them. We follow the maintenance instructions of cleaning the dishwasher and filter regularly, and we haven't had any issues with clogging. Also, it's a very quiet dishwasher, and we can barely tell when it's running.
The cultery drawer at the top saved a fair bit of space at the bottom for larger items, but it also sometimes gets in the way of tall items in the middle rack. This can be worked around by adjusting ...
Read morethe height of the middle rack, though. The main problems with this dishwasher are metal items come out with rust spots on them, and several items come out a bit wet and need to be dried by hand. Good dishwasher overall!Purchased at Appliances Online for $1,289.

Very easy to use, efficient, cleans very well first time & quiet. Instruction booklet exactly as required. Bottom rack has 2 fold down arms for clear space with larger items, central rack has similar 2 fold down arms plus small item folding protective cover arms along with whole rack being easily height adjustable & top rack is for ample cutlery. Also known as Bosch ActiveWater Slim 54. Only issue is having to be careful around faceplate name decals as they will remove with cleaning.

I got a Bosch only because of all the positive reviews and how they are always no1 dishwasher brand blah blah (even though I am beginning to believe they moderate the negative reviews heavily). In fact this happened to me when I attempted to leave a bad review on their website and I was moderated coincidentally my review was not published.
I got the black build-in dishwasher as a part of my new house and I ran it a couple of times and all the dishes were not drying properly. I thought i was doing something wrong so I attempted various settings ...

Dishes are super clean, ultra quiet but layout needs improvements
Have owned this machine for just under a week, this brand and model wasn't my first choice as I was replacing a 15 year old Asko that eventually died right before Xmas and I was going to replace it with another Asko but you have to order Asko products in and I didn't fancy going through Christmas without a dishwasher, so I though I would go with a German made Bosch Dishwasher, It is so quiet you don't know it's running, the dishes come out spotless and completely dry, and super easy to use, my only gripe with this dishwasher is it’s layout, the...
Read more upper rack isn't all that great for stacking cups and glasses as they overhang the shelves, the back of the bottom rack the prongs are to close together to allow proper washing if you use each slot, so you can only use every second row and the depth of the rack (front to back) doesn't allow you to put a dinner plates in the back row while putting a slide plate in the front row as they overlap. Also wasn't impressed with residual water left inside the dishwasher from manufacture. The Layout of the the Asko dishwashers is much easier to stack. As Bosch proof reads and moderates reviews before they are published on their website, I though this review site would be give a more accurate picture of their products.Purchased in December 2020 at Harvey Norman for $1,150.
Every time I start it even after choosing extra dry all dished still wet... my last one in rental property did much better job then this one ... I hope they exchange it ... I choose it as I need black in kitchen

We purchased the Bosch SMP66MX02A after our Dishlex dishwasher ceased working after nearly 18 years of service. We ordered through ‘The Good Guys’ and had a nearly 6 week wait for delivery due to Covid19. ‘The Good Guys‘ gave us a $100 gift voucher for our troubles and it was worth the wait!
This dishwasher is fantastic. We love the cutlery draw, the adjustable 2nd rack allowing large items to be washed. We had an initial problem with dishes not being dry, but that was largely fixed by the use of rinse aid. It has a good layout and holds many dishes. We use the 60 minute wash for everything and all dishes come out clean and sparkling. Couldn’t be happier with this dishwasher. Thankyou Bosch!

A great dishwasher when it works, but very disappointed to have it break down inside 2 years. Unfortunately, getting service to repair under warranty on NSW South Coast is tiresome. It took 2 weeks to get it repaired at the first attempt - repairer did not have required part. Waited a further 2 weeks for an ordered part and service booking, but now informed the part is 'damaged'. Will now have to wait a further period of at least 2 weeks to get the dishwasher repaired. Bosch need more local service agents who don't need to be booked 2 weeks ahead!

The good = cleans well and is well built and quiet silent in operation
The racks can fold flat so Teflon coated surfaces are not scratched.... however read the annoying part as well as well on that feature..
The cutlery tray is o =ne of the best around.. love it.
However
the annoying = Controls are hidden on the top hidden part of the door and they tend to rub off after a couple of years of use. This makes program selection hard as the lcd screen is on the front of the door and it wont show the selection to after it starts the cycle. Note $339 to fix this issue... no cheep

This replaced our 10year old Dishlex. The interior is a great design and very flexible, and we like the cutlery drawer, as it frees up space and is fast to dry and put away.
Initially found the cleaning poor - e.g. fat left on plastics, but then I added a little more (eco-store) powder and got great results. I expect if you use heavier chemicals (Finish) you'll get better results from the start. My conclusion is the low water use + bigger loading capacity means more soap is needed.
In use it is very very quiet, and we tend to use the 30min wa...

Hi, we just purchased and installed a Bosch series 6 SMP66MX03A. What we are finding is that it does not dry very well at all, even with the extra dry function pressed - certainly not over stacking either.... any suggestions? even the inside of the door was wet today :(
Hi Steve, this is a drawback with this model. The extra dry function still does not dry the water from off the upturned cups.
Thanks Chris…. Bit disappointing
I agree with Chris, this is a drawback for this model! Sadly, the 'eco-friendly' features have come at the expense of efficiency! I consider the top cutlery tray an unnecessary/useless feature, othe...
Read morer consumers may disagree. If I do use it, contents from this area are always very wet when cycle is finished. My previous 10 year old Bosch washed extremely well on the Quick cycle and contents were always bone dry at completion. I rarely used the longer cycles, I miss it!I'm looking at purchasing this dishwasher. Can I stop it after it has started if I have an extra item to pop in, or need to get something out? Or do I have to wait until it completes the cycle?
Just open the door and put more in or take something out and reclose the door. It takes about 20 seconds after closing the door to continue the cycle.
