Bosch Exxcel SMS63E02GB Reviews: Freestanding, 60cm wide, White Dishwasher

+ Very quiet. Easy to operate controls. Like knowing how long the cycle has left. Trays easy to pull out and the cutlery tray slides to any position.

- Poor cleaning. Doesn't seem to fit as much in as my old dishwasher which was the same size. The slots for plates are very close together which could be why it doesn't clean as well - the plates just don't have enough space between them which might cause this.

+ It is a lot quieter than my previous dishwasher. I felt it was reasonably priced compared to others I had considered. I like being able to see how long is left on the cycle

- I find stacking the plates awkward as they stack from side to side rather than front to back and I dont think I can get as much in it as in my previous dishwasher. Also the detergent dispenser is fidely to close and feels like it could break

+ Stylish, well made and has all the features you could possible want, and has we have a large family kitchen that is the hub of the house, it is important to have a machine that runs in the background and you don't even know it is on

- None

+ pleasing to the eye
cutlery basket fits anywhere
top basket lifts up/down

+ This is my third dishwasher and although it is early days yet, so far, I am very pleased! It very quiet, the knife rack on the top is very useful. The main reason we chose it was because the the strong blue handles at the front and the large rollers on the side, which, so far, are a great improvement on the last dishwasher where these had became weak and the top tray kept coming off the runner so, so far, this Bosch has proved to be fairly strong and we hope it will stand constant use.

- It is not that attractive to look at but I chose it for easy cleaning on the outside with no protruding knobs or buttons so it it very easy to clean (not a bad point really) but some might find this a disadvantage.

+ looks good

- we chose this appliance because it had the lowest db level.However, it is louder than our previous appliance of the same noise rating. the machine is for 13 place settings, so 13 places have been squeezed into the place of 12 and the layout of the settings make it difficult to load. All in all ,disappointed with the machine.

+ Quiet, easy to set especially the delay setting.

+ Extremely efficient and very quiet with excellent cleaning results. I would strongly recommend this dishwasher.

- None.

+ Large capacity. Quiet in action. Good cleaning performance. Easy to use.

- Cannot think of any!

+ No dishwasher ever seems to be designed to use the types and kinds of plates and cups we use, and so packing it efficiently is a challenge. However, the ability to slide around the cutlery basket makes it easier than our previous dishwasher.

+ Cleans very well and is very quiet. Would definitely buy Bosch again.

+ Very quiet - much quieter than my old Bosch dishwasher which was 14 years old when it conked out! Excellent cleaning performance.

- The Eco cycle seems to be quite long at over 2 hours and doesn't dry the dishes as well as the other cycles. Dishwasher tablet compartment doesn't close properly.

+ It is very quiet. There is a choice of programs. The best one being able to set the program to come when we are asleep thus not disturbing us and also using the cheapest electricity tariff.

- None.

+ Lots of choice in loading the machine eg when you have been having a baking day and not so many plates, but cake tins and bowls.

- Cutlery basket. If the grid is placed over the basket, it does not fit my cutlery easily, as some of the cutlery has wide handles. If I use the basket without the grid in place, the cutlery sometimes sticks together and does not get washed properly.

+ It looks good and is very quiet. The time display is helpful.

- A little difficult to load doe to knife rack. Would have been better with a half load cycle.

+ Cleans very well indeed and don't make much noise either

- The Eco program is very long 2 hours and 20 minutes.

+ Excellent cleaning results, very quiet, quick 29 minute wash

- Level in parts of upper tray is too flat, which means water sits in a puddle on top of mugs etc and does not drain/dry off.

+ Very very quiet machine

- Quite long wash programmes, and basket layout is not as good as previous machine.

+ Variable height draws, very quiet, good cleaning and quick wash.

- no half load.

+ Large versatile dishwasher with a good choice of cycles and temps.
Very quiet and excellent cleaning
Great foldable racks and a large cutlery basket
Easy to load salt and rinse aid and washing tablet
Great time delay button

- No half load

+ delayed action option very worthwhile

- occasionally things do not get totally clean, compared to our previous Bosch machine

+ Fast and efficient.

- Don't seem to be able to fit in as much as our old diswasher.

+ Looks good and is quiet. It does what it said it would.

+ Excellent cleaning efficiency and operates at low noise level. Adjustability of baskets allows for all sorts to be loaded. Easy to use and understand, time left display is helpful.

- The only thing is drying efficiency is somewhat lacking.on some cycles

+ quiet,cycles are long but express button cuts time down to 1hour39mins.I always rinse food off plates so cleaning is very good.

- not so good at drying as my old dishwasher which was a neff,still use my old cutlery basket.Doesn't seem to be as big either considering it is 13 place settings, but probably ok if you have smaller crockery.

+ Looks stylish, operates wonderfully, does a superb job

- As with all dishwashers, some cycles seem unecessary long at 2.20+ hours. The quick 29 min is only good for a quick wash of fairly clean plates and cups.

+ very thing is good can cut the time down to 1hr 18 menutes and still get dishes perfectly clean

- loading the machine is not as easy as my last bosch dishwaher

+ Economical with water

- Top shelf more designed for cups rather than mugs

+ Quiet

- Cutlery holder to fiddley.
Plastic tray for large knifes etc very loose fit

- Dishes are oten sticky after completion of washing cycle and frequently not properley dried. Stacking the machine is more complicated than our previous Hotpoint.

+ Quick wash is 30 minutes . A very quiet machine .

- Cycle times are generally too long, , 2.10 for the Eco setting and daily wash 2.5 hours ,

+ excellent.My third Bosch DW.Moveable cuttlery rack is a simple but great improvement

- None

+ good quality well made, quiet cycle and looks good in modern kitchen - very pleased

- Without the express wash function the only 2 cycle lengths available would have been 35 mins - too short and 2hrs 20 - too long so would def worth paying the extra for this model.

+ Easy to install and very quiet - sometimes hard to hear that it is on.

- instruction manual is generic to several models. Need to work out whether your one is the one in question for some comments and instructions.

+ Good wash quality - removable cutlery box

- Can't think of any.

+ Quiet and easy to use

- Reviewer left no comment

+ The noise level, the look and ease of use.

- The cycle times are quite long.....2.25 hrs...though in realism its on when I go out so I don''t really notice.

+ Flexible cutlery tray great how it can move anywhere along easily. Looks great. A great machine.

- Plastics still stay wet,

+ Good dishwasher. Gets all items clean. Easy to use. Time remaining indicator is really useful. The exterior looks good. I tend to like Bosch brands, and have found my two-year old Bosch washing machine to be very reliable. Have not been able to gauge water and energy consumption as yet (only had the dishwasher a few weeks), but it has good ratings for these aspects. Both trays have foldable parts, making it easier to fit in larger items.

- It would be great if it had a specific 'half-load' button to press, so you could use any of the wash cycles with half the normal load, resulting in reduced water consumption, time, etc. Having said that, the quick option is for half loads, and works well. Items aren't fully dry at the end of the cycle, but only need a quick wipe.

+ Auto cycle program is great, timer starts at over 2 and a half hours, but sensors in the machine check how full the dishwasher is and then reduces the time.....usually on this cycle it runs for 1 hour 20 mins with great results.

- If fully loaded, final rinse struggles to remove all detergent so you get some bits of detergent left on the plates, they do remove easily though.

+ More efficient and quieter than our old Bosch and more economical

- Not as easy to load and difficult to programme.

+ it does load a lot of dishes so we only put it on twice a week!

- can't find the half load cycle - we use the economy cycle instead

+ Looks good - nice and quiet - door feels secure -

- sometimes cups not fully stain free

+ Quiet, good washing cycles

- Cutlery drawer too large and obstructive to the detriment of areas to load plates.

+ Very quiet during use. Good selection of programmes. Quick 29 minute cycle is very useful. 2 year warranty from Bosch gives peace of mind. Compared to other dishwashers that I have owned, the Bosch stands out for its quality of build and features.

- None found

+ totally happy with product so far

- none yet

+ FIRST TIME WE HAVE HAD A DISHWASHER SO ITS A JOY!

- TAKES LONGER THAN I THOUGHT TO WASH EVERYTHING.

+ Good performance and quiet. Like the sliding cutlery tray.

- Instruction manual is not the clearest, needs to be more straightforwaard and explain that there is no clock on the machine. Needs an easy reset button.

+ Quick wash

+ Excellent cleaning. Very quiet. Loading good with removable basket.

- Quite pricey but you get what you pay for. Silver always seems expensive?

+ Does what it says on the label! Excellent machine

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Efficient dishwasher; good results; very spacious and easy to load; extremely quiet.

- Instruction booklet could be clearer. Quite wet results after cycle is finished; necessary to use extra drying cycle.

+ Very quiet and LED display gives a clear reading of the time left to complete the wash.

- LED flashes irritatingly when machine is not in use unless you press the power off button, which the kids don't remember to do!

+ Very Quiet, Cleans well, Well thought out All my appliances are Bosch as they seem to last forever Would not buy anything else

- The door on my dishwaher is quite stiff not very easy to open I have tried a different machine at a showroom and that was not nearly as stiff It is one of those problems you would not arrange a call out for but it is a bit irritating Drying is sufficient but not great

+ it does wash the dishes

- everything is very wet and it doesn't seem to dry them properly. Although it advertises a short cycle it doesn't dry the dishes and you can not just add a drying cycle so the next option is a 2hr 30min cycle.

+ Works effortlessly. So quiet we actually weren't sure it was working when we first switched it on. Cleaning performance has been beyond reproach so far.

- Cycle times seem longer than previous models although there is an express mode if you are in a hurry.

+ Very quiet operation, ease of filling soap,rinse aid and salt.

- The door is a bit snappy !
