John, Billingham

+ Relatively easy to install. Very simple to operate. Quiet in operation. Excellent upper tray design allows tall items such as drinks glasses to be supported so they don't fall over. I love the 45 degree programme which only takes 24 minutes to give sparkling results.

- Installation instructions are only pictorial and require a good bit of thought before they make full sense.

+ Lots of wash programmes ranging from a very quick wash taking only 20 mins to intensive and auto wash programmes which decide how much energy to use.

- Is expensive, but there are more expensive ones with less functions !

Geoff, Cheltenham

+ It washes quickly,quietly and very cleanly. Attention to detail appears to flourish in Germany, sadly it doesn't in so many British appliances.

- This is just a suspicion but I suspect that Britain is often regarded as "Treasure Island". There never seems to be price adjustment when the exchange rate was favourable.

+ Water usage is very economical
Washes on very low temperature
Very Quiet.

- Indicator light when used for built in situation cannot be seen on the floor as expected.
Therefore you have to open the unit to ascertain whether it is on or off.

Carole, Redruth - Cornwall

+ Had to wait a few months before I could use the dishwasher as kitchen was being fitted. Now in use and really pleased with it. Very quiet when in use and gives brilliant results. My second Bosch dishwasher my first one was just as good and only changed to get a built in appliance for new kitchen.

+ It has a really quick eco wash which I use all the time.

- It took me a long time to fit it in and I had to employ someone to help me and even the professional struggled for a few hours - the instructions were extremely poor. The first few washes were terrible and I was beginning to get very disheartened, but after about 3-4 washes, the dishes started to look much better.
