+ Simple to use and shorter wash cycles than my last Bosch.

- The dishwasher rack is static so you can't fold down any of the bits for flexible stacking. Saying that, I think a lot of machines are similar!

+ Quick wash is between 26 and 36 minutes. Cleaning is good and it is very quiet

- not easy to put items in top rack due to the plastic trays in it. it is impossible to fill the bottom rack as the dividers are to close together and the dishes come out dirty. also on the quick wash everything comes out soaking wet so you have to buy an expensive drying agent then its ok

Score 6.0/10

+ Quiet. good choice of washes.

- Nothing like as good as my 25yr old Miele - difficult to pack, as the Miele had shelving units you could remove for large dishes etc. This means I could use the machine more often, but less full. However, i don't as it's such a bore to fill (maybe I'll get used to this). It also removes silver plate from cutlery much more quickly, despite using the same detergent etc. However, I'm biased because I had The Best before - I suspect this is one of the very best for today.

+ Dishwasher tells you the length of the wash cycle, so you know how long is left. There is space for a lot of dishes and the noise level is low.It also tells you if the rinse aid and salt is low.

- There are not that many choice of wash cycles.

+ Very quick fast wash with good results.
Good cleaning.
Reasonable price as an entry level Bosch.

- Top shelf is not adjustable and a bit tight for side plates which fitted fine in the top shelf of my last Bosch dishwasher with an adjustable rack.
There is no intensive wash option.
It's noisier than other Bosch dishwashers I have had.
