Bosch SGS-43T72

Excellent value for money and simple to operate. Reset function has been added. Works well with 24 hr timer (Economy 7 users)

ease of use & noise levels

So easy to use, like the new cutlery basket

no bad points

Clean pans and dishes excellently

Does not do the rest of the housework

Only the second Bosch washer in over 20 years and cannot fault it at all.

The layout of cutlery is awkward and our main service knives and forks will not fit into the appertures.

Quick, quiet and generally dishes all come out clean even on the shortest setting

Can't put mugs or glasses under the top cutlery rail when its down would have been great if it was just a bit higher.

Early days but appears to a sound reliable product.

Nothing to report

this was a replacement for a 9 year old Bosch. The old one gave great service in a family of 5 for all those years. The replacement seems every bit as promising.

Haven't found any yet, and if the old model is anything to go by it will be a while before we find any.

Feels 'cheap' compared with previous Bosch dishwaher we had - door panel bent when installing machine and pump that empties machine has become blocked twice.

Everything has been good so far, very satisfied with the product.

N/A

We have had this model before and find it excellent overall

Maybe sometimes we find the timer gets a bit confused and goes into a loop. After a while it resets itself

quiet efficient and cleans well

choice of cycles limited did not like the cutlery tray

This Dishwasher is very quiet,Has good selection of programmes,and they are really clean and sparkling.

Plastic items are still wet.

The rinse programme (15 mins) is great,you can than wash on quick wash or economy wash which is more economical, dishes come out lovely and clean. Very quiet machine !

None !

Excellent value for money Very quiet Low energy usage

Build quality looks disctinctly poorer than the 15 year old Bosch it has replaced. The fully laden bottom rack is difficult pull in abd out. The eco cycle is very long- this is not really a bad point- just make sure you allow the 140 minutes

Cleans well, good price, quiet, good capacity. Only four programs, wash, reset, power wash, eco wash and quick wash - not a problem for me. Quick wash is only about 25 mins.

Takes a long time on eco setting, not really a problem for me as it uses very little electric and I'd rather put it on overnight and save money.

washes items very well. the loading arrangement is very good, especialy the cutlery basket.

the wash time on the ECO setting is too long.

brilliant machine and cleans exceptionally well.

None so far

Simple, efficient, quiet, well built, great value overall.

Doesn't have a rapid hot wash option, nor a top half only quick wash.

Very quiet when operating, the quick wash is very efficient and cleans well, the product looks very sleek well worth the money

quiet Good cleaning

difficult to load compared to my previous dishwasher cycles very long apart from economy one

All round excellent product. Virtually noise free. Leaves most of the cutlery, plates, cups etc dry on completion.

From our point of view the only bad point is the space for cups, mugs etc. One side only fits small cups properly. Not a major problem though.

My dishes are so much cleaner than with my previous dishwasher - makes me embarrassed to think how dirty they were.

Bottom racks don't fold flat, but then it was a cheap and basic model. All appliances should come with a child lock.

the cleaning performance is absolutely amazing

limitted number or washing cycles (which I was aware to start with since it is their cheapest model); poor indication of where is the cycle and how long it will take further

Very Quiet with good cleaining performance

None I can think of

Great price and great performance. Chose this model for price & reliability of Bosch products. Only ever used 2 settings on my last dishwasher so the limited number of cycles is fine. Great cleaning & easy to use. I now realise how poor my last dishwasher was!!!

The dishwasher is excellent value for money and I am very pleased with quick wash option

Very quiet!!!

Wash cycle times!!!

The machine indicates when you have run out of rinse aid and dishwasher salt, so there is no guessing to be done.

Cycle times seem quite long, especially if you have had a dinner party and want to get the washing up done before the next day

simple control activation, drying finish excellent, quiet performance.

hardly any noise, v. clean load

so quite and a bit slow between cycles you don't know it's finished! put salt as required but seems to need it with each wash.

It is very easy to use. Extremely efficient, quiet and the economy cycle is the quickest I have ever used. delighted

None whatsoever

Good value for money Short cycle (25mins) does for most washes so good for dinner parties where you need to run it more than once.

Doesn't seem to dry quite as well as our old Hotpoint

Does the job well

Quiet, efficient, good value for money

None (as yet)

Cheap, simple. Offers adequate no. of wash cycles without confusing. Does the job. Don't expect more than that.

You cannot see at what point it is in a wash cycle i.e whether or not it is about to finish. A bit temperamental about rinse aid; if it runs out during a cycle the light goes on and it doesn't seem to run properly. We are in a soft water area so do not need to add salt, but the 'add salt' light is always on.

As good as its predecessor which lasted 15 years

Less easy to load. Glasses with stems don;t seem to have as much room as in the old one.

I just cannot think of anything bad about the product which,in itself,says all

Quick wash only takes 30 mins

full wash takes 2.5 hours, bottom drawer is a bit wobbly, overall looks/feels a bit cheap

simple construction, easy to plumb-in, reasonably quiet.

door lock/catch mechanism feels a bit awkward

30 minute cycle very good

Simple to use

A little bit noisy

Gets stuff much cleaner than our previous dishwasher and ids alot quieter.

None of our wine glasses fit in the top rack.

simple to use. Energy efficient. Good cleaning ability.

start up instructions could be clearer

cleans better than any other dishwasher I have had

A little noisy

Basic dishwasher at a reasonable price - no frills but it washes just as well as the more complex machines with programmes you'd probably never use.

Bottom basket tips up when pulling forward if load is not carefully balanced. Didn't happen in my old machine.

Just reliable

none as yet

Very good value for money.

Wash cycle is very long

Dishes are clean every time, has an eco cycle, is energy efficient

a little noisy, eco cycle takes a very long time

Uses 17 litres of water per cycle.

clean lines and smooth cycles

quiet, energy efficient

not that great at cleaning and requires salt and rinse aid

Good value appliance

It is clean effecient and a very good price

The cutlery basket is sometimes a bit more fiddly to load than our other old dishwasher but it is not really a huge disadvantage

Plenty of room for the amount of dishes a family would use. Good choice of cycles and warning lights appear when rinse aid and salt is low.

Slightly noisy.

Superb value, very easy to load, cleans brilliantly. Has very few programmes but that's what I wanted - its a total waste to have (& pay for) loads of prgrammes many of which you won't use.

Cycle times perhaps longer than expected. There is no indicator to tell you how far through the cycle the machine is at any point.

We have used Bosch appliances for many years with complete satisfaction and this machine lives up to that reputation

The layout of the top shelf means your glasses need to be short-stemmed, otherwise they don't fit.

very happy with my purchase and would definately recommend,its very sreamline and modern looking and it preforms well.good value for the money.

none at all

quiet, efficient and great value for money

only bad point is cutlery basket is a bit fiddly unless you remove the lid.

Washes well everything comes out really clean, it tells you when the salt and the rinse aid need refilling.

You can't tell where it is on the cycle, it doesn't dry platic dishes very well, and the pressure is so strong it overturns light objects and then they fill up with water. Maybe i'll find a way of overcoming this!

cheap - works well

Noisier than expected

Cycle times. Excellent delivery service and choice of Sunday delivery and take away of old model

Not as solid a product as my previos one which was 20 yrs old

Quick cycle cleans well...

cheap

2 hr cycle and some pots have to go on for a second wash

great cleaning

It is a perfect Bosch product -efficient, reliable good simple design and good value. The drying cycle is completely silent

Wash cycle is noisy due to poor door insulation. But not enough to be a problem especially if you put it on at night.

it s a dishwasher!!! What's not to love!!! Easy to use good size

cycles do take quite a long time.

Easy to load, straight forward to use, excellent cleaning

the 2 highest cycles take a long time, up to 2 hrs

Easy to install: Cleans well; Quiet

Wash time apprecatively longer than previous Bosch

lots of space for cups etc on top rack. versatile space for post and pans below quick wash usually gets everything clean

some cycles take a long time impossible to tell how far on in the cycle the machine is

Basic model but does the job

Non so far

Price

Very efficient, light door and trays, I like the fact you can open without having to reset once the cycle is running

Lack of any clear ON/OFF indication we have ours on a night timewr and have to scramble around in a a low cupboard to find out if it will be on or off in a live setting before flicking the switch to timer

quick wash facility, salt and rinse aid indicator light on front of machine

Product looks good and is very compact. Easy to load and dishes come out perfectly clean and dry.

Has a good eco cycle which I have used most. Also a very quick cycle which is quite useful. Overall a good machine

Have not found any bad points

Quiet, efficient, tidy looking

Wash cycle rather long

Excellent cleaning even though this model doesn't have a 70 degree was

simple easy to use

not found them yet

Seems to be a good cheap all rounder.

Cycle times that don't take 30 minutes (unrealistic of course) are always too slow!

It does exactly what it should do cleans, shines and dries. Easy access to the salt department. Good value for the money.

You can't tell when its near to finishing.

Does what it says on the tin - can't ask for more than that

Cutlery basket is a bit fiddly. I miss the inverted v's on the bottom basket that were so useful for holding sports drink bottles!

Quiet, efficient, simple to use.

Poor door counter balance, poor catch on powder dispenser, no child protection system, glasses stem steady on top rack is a nuisance.

Quick and easy to clean

Does seem to light up the Salt and Rince Aid lights more often than expected

Glasses and cutlery are gleaming

Egg and porridge need to be rinsed off before washing

Quiet and simple to operate

Long wash cycle and drying is not as good as previous models

extremely clean and squeeky dishes

none so far

Drying not very good on eco cycle.

It's robust and quite and very good value. This is my 3rd dishwasher and it's the best (the others were a Zanussi and somthing else (can't remember what). I also have a Bosch washing machine whcih is excellent as well. (Reviewed after 5 weeks of ownership)
