Bosch SPU63M05AU

Does the trick – Ever since we got the dishwasher it's been great. The cycles are a little longer than ideal (2:15) but isn't too loud. The filter does seem to get clogged pretty often so we need to do a clean out. We rinse dishes before hand so it shouldn't get that clogged. When the arms get some food particles in them it's very difficult to clean them. You can remove the arms but have to bang or use tweezers to remove food. If you don't remove the particles water doesn't get to all the dishes.

Good quality, performs well – I've had this unit for several months and am very pleased with it. It looks very smart in the kitchen, has a quality feel to it and performs well. Everything that goes in it invariably come out sparkling - including glassware and pots that are fairly heavily soiled. It's also very quiet - for a lot of the cycle it's dead silent, maxing out with just a few low clunks.

Even though it's a slimline, it has good space. It fits my largest 11" saute pan with no problem.

As the first reviewer pointed out, it does finish up rather wet. I find that to be a very minor issue though, and I would gladly recommend it overall.

If I read this review I'd probably assume it was a plant. It's not! Read some of my other reviews!

Had it for ~ 1 month, going well – This is the first dishwasher we've ever used and purchased, so I'm not sure how this dishwasher rates to others... We bought a slimline because it was the only thing that would fit in the area that we needed it to. It doesn't feel like a compromise on space - It's actually quite large inside. We run this about once a day (full load) with the recommended dishpowder.

We've put some really dirty pans in there and they've come out clean, so we're very pleased with that. The dishwasher is very quiet, and generally easy to use. My only advice would be not to place in items that have really baked-on foods, or to overcrowd the utensil holder. The interface is pretty self explanatory, and after learning how to properly stack the machine, it's been a breeze for us (dishwasher newbies).

May update at a later stage on how well the system is holding up. Slimline, attractive, quiet, ease of use Nothing thus far

Pretty happy with the choice – I've had this dishwasher for a few months now. It looks good, feels good, is relatively quiet, and does an excellent job at washing dishes even on its economy cycle (which I use all the time including for pots and pans etc). I was limited to only being able to fit a 450mm wide dishwasher and I'd narrowed my choice done to this one, a Smeg and a Miele. I was able to get trade pricing on the Bosch and Smeg but the Miele priced itself out of contention by being price controlled (it ended up being almost twice the cost). I know the Miele is good as my Partner has one, but it isn't twice as good as the Bosch. I'd previously had a narrow Smeg in a past apartment and loved it, but wasn't sure about the new model.

The only thing I don't like about my Bosch it is that it doesn't have a drying fan so dishes are quite wet when it finishes a cycle. This is less for an issue if using a hotter cycle than the economy one, but compared to the Asko I had in my previous home and my Partners Miele dishes are very wet comparatively. This issue is made worse as the door of the dishwasher will not stay open slightly to aid drying when a cycle has finished. The door needs to be on a least a 45 degree angle to stay open, which just gets in the way in the kitchen. That it fits in my kitchen and cleans my dishes for me. Doesn't have a drying fan; door doesn't stay slightly ajar to aid drying when cycle finished
