Score 10.0/10

+ The machine has a useful 30 minute cycle as well as a longer one. It is also quite spacious within the bottom tray, as my wok fits. I also like the fact that my smaller plates can be easily inserted into the top

- Sometimes the large glasses are too tall for the top tray, however there probably is a way of lowering this.

+ Very easily adjustable top rack (height).
Economy Features!
Noise - lack of...!
Knife rack!

- Cutlery Tray - holes too small or no holes at all - better designs available!
Knife rack should be more easily detachable.
On/Off button feels very flimsy and not convinced how long it will last.
Have to set delay timer with door open - unusual not to have a start button so takes getting used to.

Score 8.0/10

+ It is extremely quiet, so quiet that you don't even notice that it is on! Very easy to switch on, and the salt and rinse aid indicators are very handy to remind you to top them up. The drawers pull out easily.

- The wash seems to take forever, about an hour an a half.

+ Very quiet compared to former dishwasher. Changing from full size to slimline made it look small but soon you adjust and pack it full - many adjustable parts of interior certainly help.

+ This is the second Bosch slimline dishwasher i have had.it is compact to fit in small kitchen & capacity is just right
for two people.
Also it cleans better than plain washing up in a bowl.
My Daughter every few months brings around her spoons and cups to give them back there sparkle.

- None that I can think of.

- Fillling the washer is a bit awkward due to size.

Clare, Yorkshire , “I like Marmite”

Score 7.0/10

+ This machine is quiet and cleans the dishes to a very high standard. It also has a smart design and is easy to use. Best suited to a single person or couple.

- The space above the top rack is limited which makes it difficult to fit tall glasses in. Plus I found that small items (i.e. childrens dishes) were upturned, which meant they had to be rewashed as they filled with dirty water. The holes in the utensil holder are too small.

Dishwasher Buyers Guide  

Manufacturer's Description

Residual drying uses heat generated in the wash to dry the load, making it one of the best hygienic performance solutions to dry dishes because it avoids the use of air from outside the dishwasher.
