Score 7.0/10
Good points:
It has an eco cycle for when you're not in any hurry. It looks smart and it's a Bosch.
Bad points:
One of the foldable trays can't be fully lifted because of the bodywork. I think that only the quick cycle takes less than two hours (it takes about half an hour).

Dishwasher Buyers Guide  

Manufacturer's Description

4 programmes: Prerinse, Quick Wash 45ºC, Daily/Eco 50ºC, Normal 65ºC
Quick wash 45ºC – 29 minute programme
Half load – if you don’t have a full load and cannot wait, press the half load button. The programme time is reduced and 30% less water is used.

Easy to use programme guide on top edge
Clear text and symbols on the fascia, with easy to operate retractable control knob
Time delay (1 – 19 hours) – - set your dishwasher to clean overnight and use lower energy costs.

12 place settings
Grey baskets

Height adjustable upper basket (when empty) – raise the top basket to make room for taller pans and trays in the bottom basket, or lower to fit taller glasses in the top.
Knife rack and stem glass rest in upper basket.
Wash sharp knives separately, out of harm’s way.
Standard 8-compartment cutlery basket
Plate sizes: 30/25cm in lower basket and 21/26 in upper basket
Large item spray head – a unique alternative spray head gives you the freedom to wash tall items such as oven furniture or baking trays. Simply remove the upper basket, attach the spray head and select the required programme.
LED time remaining indicator
LED salt, rinse aid and water fault indicators
Detergent aware (auto 3 in 1) – on all types of Finish detergent – 5in1, 4in1, 3in1, 2in1 tablets or separate components – your dishwasher will adjust the cycle to ensure you always get the best results. (Salt should always be used to achieve these results).

Residual heat drying – one of the best hygienic performance solutions to dry dishes because it avoids the use of air from outside the dishwasher.

Adjustable water softener
Quiet operation 52dB (re 1 pW)
Polinox and stainless steel interior

Child lock – can be locked to stop little fingers interfering when the machine is running.

Anti-flood device – in the unlikely event of a leak, the dishwasher will close the water inlet valve preventing additional water entering the machine.
