Bosch SGS-43T72 Reviews: Freestanding, 60cm wide, White Dishwasher

+ brilliant machine and cleans exceptionally well.

- None so far

+ My dishes are so much cleaner than with my previous dishwasher - makes me embarrassed to think how dirty they were.

- Bottom racks don't fold flat, but then it was a cheap and basic model. All appliances should come with a child lock.

+ washes items very well. the loading arrangement is very good, especialy the cutlery basket.

- the wash time on the ECO setting is too long.

+ Cleans well, good price, quiet, good capacity. Only four programs, wash, reset, power wash, eco wash and quick wash - not a problem for me. Quick wash is only about 25 mins.

- Takes a long time on eco setting, not really a problem for me as it uses very little electric and I'd rather put it on overnight and save money.

+ Simple, efficient, quiet, well built, great value overall.

- Doesn't have a rapid hot wash option, nor a top half only quick wash.

+ Very quiet when operating, the quick wash is very efficient and cleans well, the product looks very sleek well worth the money

+ quiet
Good cleaning

- difficult to load compared to my previous dishwasher
cycles very long apart from economy one

+ All round excellent product. Virtually noise free. Leaves most of the cutlery, plates, cups etc dry on completion.

- From our point of view the only bad point is the space for cups, mugs etc. One side only fits small cups properly. Not a major problem though.

+ We always buy Bosch products because they are so reliable. The dishwasher itself is great - v.quiet and everything comes out clean first time - no matter how dirty it was when it went in.

- The cutlery basket is a bit awkward.

+ Very Quiet with good cleaining performance

- None I can think of

+ the cleaning performance is absolutely amazing

- limitted number or washing cycles (which I was aware to start with since it is their cheapest model); poor indication of where is the cycle and how long it will take further

+ Good basic product which offers a clean and quiet wash.

+ Great price and great performance. Chose this model for price & reliability of Bosch products. Only ever used 2 settings on my last dishwasher so the limited number of cycles is fine. Great cleaning & easy to use. I now realise how poor my last dishwasher was!!!

+ The dishwasher is excellent value for money and I am very pleased with quick wash option

+ Very quiet!!!

- Wash cycle times!!!

+ The machine indicates when you have run out of rinse aid and dishwasher salt, so there is no guessing to be done.

- Cycle times seem quite long, especially if you have had a dinner party and want to get the washing up done before the next day

+ Quiet, efficient, good value for money

- None (as yet)

+ It is very easy to use. Extremely efficient, quiet and the economy cycle is the quickest I have ever used.
delighted

- None whatsoever

+ It's robust and quite and very good value. This is my 3rd dishwasher and it's the best (the others were a Zanussi and somthing else (can't remember what). I also have a Bosch washing machine whcih is excellent as well. (Reviewed after 5 weeks of ownership)

+ Quiet, cleans well

- Top tray difficult to load - doesn't hold as much as previous dishwashers. Useless cutlery basket.

+ Quiet, and cleans well on the normal cycle if your dishes are not too mucky,

- needs a drying function on the eco wash

+ Excellent washing and very quick drying especially on economy cycle.

- Broken 3 types of glasses at separate times although placed as per instructions, very disappointed about this but everything else ok

+ As good as its predecessor which lasted 15 years

- Less easy to load. Glasses with stems don;t seem to have as much room as in the old one.

+ simple construction, easy to plumb-in, reasonably quiet.

- door lock/catch mechanism feels a bit awkward

+ Does the job well

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very efficient, light door and trays, I like the fact you can open without having to reset once the cycle is running

- Lack of any clear ON/OFF indication we have ours on a night timewr and have to scramble around in a a low cupboard to find out if it will be on or off in a live setting before flicking the switch to timer

+ I just cannot think of anything bad about the product which,in itself,says all

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Good value for money
Short cycle (25mins) does for most washes so good for dinner parties where you need to run it more than once.

- Doesn't seem to dry quite as well as our old Hotpoint

+ Quick wash only takes 30 mins

- full wash takes 2.5 hours, bottom drawer is a bit wobbly, overall looks/feels a bit cheap

+ Easy to install: Cleans well; Quiet

- Wash time apprecatively longer than previous Bosch

+ Reviewer left no comment

- The layout of the top shelf means your glasses need to be short-stemmed, otherwise they don't fit.

+ Cheap, simple. Offers adequate no. of wash cycles without confusing. Does the job. Don't expect more than that.

- You cannot see at what point it is in a wash cycle i.e whether or not it is about to finish.
A bit temperamental about rinse aid; if it runs out during a cycle the light goes on and it doesn't seem to run properly.
We are in a soft water area so do not need to add salt, but the 'add salt' light is always on.

+ We have used Bosch appliances for many years with complete satisfaction and this machine lives up to that reputation

+ Simple, no nonsense machine. Does what it says on the packet!

- Space for loading a bit limited. Can't move shelf, etc. No frills. We had a mid range Bosch before. Extra shelf additions were good - more flexible use of space and easier to load with different small bits.

+ Good value appliance

- Reviewer left no comment

+ it s a dishwasher!!! What's not to love!!! Easy to use good size

- cycles do take quite a long time.

+ Plenty of room for the amount of dishes a family would use.
Good choice of cycles and warning lights appear when rinse aid and salt is low.

- Slightly noisy.

+ very happy with my purchase and would definately recommend,its very sreamline and modern looking and it preforms well.good value for the money.

- none at all

+ Washes well everything comes out really clean, it tells you when the salt and the rinse aid need refilling.

- You can't tell where it is on the cycle, it doesn't dry platic dishes very well, and the pressure is so strong it overturns light objects and then they fill up with water. Maybe i'll find a way of overcoming this!

+ cheap - works well

- Noisier than expected

+ cheap

- 2 hr cycle and some pots have to go on for a second wash

+ It is clean effecient and a very good price

- The cutlery basket is sometimes a bit more fiddly to load than our other old dishwasher but it is not really a huge disadvantage

+ Basic model but does the job

- Non so far

+ Superb value, very easy to load, cleans brilliantly. Has very few programmes but that's what I wanted - its a total waste to have (& pay for) loads of prgrammes many of which you won't use.

- Cycle times perhaps longer than expected. There is no indicator to tell you how far through the cycle the machine is at any point.

+ quiet, efficient and great value for money

- only bad point is cutlery basket is a bit fiddly unless you remove the lid.

+ It is a perfect Bosch product -efficient, reliable good simple design and good value. The drying cycle is completely silent

- Wash cycle is noisy due to poor door insulation. But not enough to be a problem especially if you put it on at night.

+ Easy to load, straight forward to use, excellent cleaning

- the 2 highest cycles take a long time, up to 2 hrs

+ lots of space for cups etc on top rack.
versatile space for post and pans below
quick wash usually gets everything clean

- some cycles take a long time
impossible to tell how far on in the cycle the machine is

+ Very good value for money.

- Wash cycle is very long

+ quiet, energy efficient

- not that great at cleaning and requires salt and rinse aid

+ Cheap and does a great wash

- Cant tell how long to end of cycle but knew that when I bought it

+ great value - bought to replace over 20-year-old Bosch dishwasher!

- none so far

+ Good basic dishwasher. Excellent short cycle. Cutlery box has two shorter compartments for teaspoons - very useful when emptying.

- Top tray has one very narrow section which will not take mugs - we use few glasses and lots of mugs so there is often spare space on the top.

+ Gets stuff much cleaner than our previous dishwasher and ids alot quieter.

- None of our wine glasses fit in the top rack.
