Bosch SGI-45E15G Reviews: Built-in, 59.8cm wide, White Dishwasher

+ Quiet and very efficient at cleaning (which is obviously the whole point of buying it!)

- Longest cycle over 2 hours !

+ quiet, washes well; easy to fit (as a replacement), although larger holes had to be cut for the pipework.

- doesn't dry dishes particularly well; although a "semi integrated" washer, the washer still protrudes more than I would have liked, and far more than our previous dishwaher did.

- Installation instructions aren't very clesr.

+ Excellent cleaning power.This is my 3rd Dishwasher and it's the only one I've
ever had, that hasn't left marks on glasses and cutlery.

- Intergrated door was a bit of a pain to put on, and the sticky pads didn't
hold very well so had to result to super glue!

- CYCLE TIMES APPEAR TO BE QUITE LONG

+ stylish and good looking & exterior good performance

- bit plastic looking on the inside

+ looks good once fitted nice choice of cycles and stuff dry when coming out

- nightmare to install as sharp edges which led to cut fingers !! tried various products but glasses do not ome out neat

+ Nice looking, simple and good build quality

- None

+ This is a really great dishwasher. It has a few different cycles but we find we only ever use the 'eco' wash as its so efficient. It also has a half load function and a quick wash which is very useful. The top tray can also be adjusted depending on the height of the items you have in the bottom tray

- The cutlery basket takes up more room than necessary

+ Good performance, reasonalby quiet, especially like the function that tells you how long is left and the delay time setting

- dissapointed with the fact that it has a plastic interior (even after checking details in the features where it is stated that it had a stainless steel interior) but having said that it works perfectly

+ Looks good,
Good value
easy to use

- Cycle time is a little slow

+ Good door action with quiet motions

- Stainless steel front shows marks, actually ordered white.

+ Easy to use and washes very clean.

- My Whirlpool dishwasher has now been replaced after 20 years service - the door would not stay closed. It had a 40 degree wash for glasses. I miss this on my Bosch.

+ Looks good, low noise and cleans and dries really well.

- The hot cycles take too long. The moderate temperature cycle is too quick and therefore doesn't have time to clean adequately

+ shiny clean

+ Easy to install. Good cleaning and cycle times.

+ Quiet, economical; fast programme is very useful.

- The top cups/glasses basket does not work well if, like many people nowadays, one drinks mostly from mugs rather than dainty teacups. Everything seems to be at the wrong angle and the wrong spacing. If you have an alternative design that takes mugs and tumblers I would be very interested.

+ very good wash and quiet.

- fiddly getting crockery into top shelf.

+ the quick wash only takes half an hour , the others take ages.
it doesn't have as many different programme options as i'd thought. there's only three programmes.
i was suprised coz i thought i'd thoroughly researched it.
it's fine- it washes the dishes. the stainless steel finish on the control panel is nice quality.

- ONLY 3 programmes
2 programmes are very long - like 3 hours i think.

+ Reliable

- Too slow

- Some of the Soap tablet left in bottom of dish washer

+ Excellent Washing

- Found it slightly difficult to install, but not sure if this was the machine or just the space in our kitchen.

+ Looks good, quiet,

- rather long programs

+ all aspects of the machine are really good

- Ass it is a part intergral machine I was disapointed that when we set it up, the piece on the front where the cupboard should go doesn't reach the, in the diagram there seems to be 5 grooves but onnours there is only 4, never the less I think that we would of needed at least 6 maybe 7, and as they only clip on, there should of been some spare within the packaging, the down side of this is when the door is open and hanging down when you empty the machine the silver coloured grooves tend to droop.

+ Dishwasher build just ouzes quality. Programs are very quiet and quick. The Any flood device requies a lot of space (due to its size) and you may have to cut quite a large hole in the cupboard skin to get it through. Shame I was able to dismantle this part to get it through a smaller hole.

- Cutlery basket position is not the best and restircts the sizes of plates you cacn stack behind it. Seen much better designs on this point.

+ Looks good, excellent build quality. Easy to use.Very quiet
But overall really please

- Cycle time quite long on full wash.

+ very thorouh clean and dry
instructions easy to understand
only a few buttons

- hard to install
cramped upper shelf
have to refer to manual for first few weeks to decide on cycle and remember how to start it
long cycles

+ Very quiet machine that cleans glasses much better than our previous dishwasher.
Good construction.

- Difficult to raise the back foot in order to level the machine.

+ Reputation for reliability.
Robustly built.
Looks good.

- Has a shutoff device on the water inlet (good point) which is quite bulky and may need some expert plumbing to accommodate.

+ Very well built. Lower racking is very adaptable for use with larger pans. Quiet

- Quite long cycle time on the normal wash setting. Plastic utensils aren't dried completely when using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets

+ simple functions, plenty of room inside for most types of kitchen equipments, plates etc

- very difficult to stack long stemmed wine glasses, makes a loud noise from time to time. very long cycle times

+ Really good having the short 30 minute cycle time for non-greasy dishes. It's an A-rated model, which was important to us and the controls are really easy to use too. Thankfully, it is a quite quiet as well. The display showing washing time remaining is also handy when you want to know when it will finish. You can also fold some of the plate stackers down making part of the bottom basket flat for large items like pans etc..
Seems to be a good quality product with clear instructions and good wash performance.

- Hardly any. Apart from the 30 min cycle, all the other programs are 140 min +. Could do with an extra program somewhere in between, although even this is not a big deal.

+ It is semi-integrated which is what we needed; we also had a Bosch dishwasher before and thought it was very reliable. The range of washing cycles is good with a quick wash for crockery that's not very dirty. It has the same cutlery basket and an additional knife/utensil rack - good for sharp knives.

- From an aesthetic point of view I am not sure about the large control knob to choose programmes as it sticks out and the inside base of the machine which is dark grey plastic as opposed to stainless steel.

+ Very quiet. Could have done with more cycle variation

- Was a little difficult to install door but we worked it out in the end

+ Good wash. Quiet. Reliable brand.

- Plastic leveling feet and only one at the back. Top tray not the best design.

+ The short wash only takes about 32mins and produces excellent results every time. We rarely put heavily soiled pots and pans in to wash and most of our items are put in after wetting or rinsing - no dried on food deposits but nevertheless we are delighted. Dishes are almost completely dry. We live in a soft water area so no salt added.

- Not easy to install as a replacement. Instructions a bit hazy and you need special screwdrivers (Torx) Top tray has two rows too many of the cup/saucer supports (we use mugs like most people) and they cannot be folded or removed so some capacity is lost. Noisier than expected. I thought it would be quieter in operation than our last Indesit machine but it isn't. The door is a bit heavy and there doesn't seem to be any means to adjust the counter balance.

+ smart,easy to install, efficient, reliability.

- Price.

+ This machine has an efficient short programme of about 28mins. We have solid oak kitchen - so the front door on the integrated appliance is extra efficient at reducing noise level - much quieter than a previous model we had. Very pleased with this model - having had about six dishwashers in the past - this is the best so far.

- No bad points - but you do need a professional kitchen fitter to fit this integrated model correctly - the pattern supplied for the door does not correspond to where the bottom brackets should be - best to do this by measurement.

+ Limited choice, this is the style that will fit my kitchen, replacing a previous similar model means door fits.

- very much noisier than previous model, no more efficient than a model 5 years old.

+ It performs well on all cycles. Generally the dishes come clean and dry without too much streaking.

- There is nothing inherently bad about this dishwasher, however it is way too expensive for what it does. The cycle times are extremely long. We needed a semi integrated dishwasher too replace a Candy which had worked well for almost 15 years. The Bosch seemed to fit the bill; which it does to an extent but value for money is poor; sorry Bosch.

+ .

- .

+ Low noise in comparison with replaced dishwasher and more efficient drying.

- Being an Engineer I was able to understand the installation instructions but more description required in words and not just pictures should be provided for less skilled people. I retreived the instructions for the old machine. These instructions were excellent in comparison. I would score the supplied instructions at only 3.

+ Ease of use and reasonably quiet.

+ everything. I would truly recommend

- the only negative is, I dont like the grey rubber strip used to finish off under the stainless front.
