"Bought to replace a high end AEG that had two repairs in 5 years & then broke again!
Hoping this is more reliable.
Nice machine , good adjustment to fit everything in.
OH loves the app for using it. "

"Excellent dishwasher. I really like the cutlery rack being the flat tray rather than the traditional basket. The cutlery washes nicely and there is no loss of space on the bottom draw.
The dishwasher is quiet with a neat light on the floor so everyone knows when it is doing its thing.
The drying is superb! Even plastic items, which traditionally would be a bit drippy, are bone dry.

"Excellent. Taking really low power to work. And as it’s bosh I truly believe it would be working till end of the world as all bosh products "

"Easy to use, low energy on the eco setting. Fairly expensive. I had my last one for 15 years so hopefully will work out to cheaper in the long run. The eco program runs for 4 1/2 hours, but the door automatically opens after about 2 hours for drying. Affectively, the washing cycle has finished though.
The cutlery is a good idea but does remove height from the next tray which needs to be at its highest to fit my plates in. Just took some getting used to and adjusting where things go. "

"2 weeks in, it cleans and is quiet.
I'm not amazed by the Zeolith drying, plastic often has moisture still on it, it is a bit better then the 15 year old Siemens device it replaced though.
I'm not quite sure of the point of the red light, while it is quiet it is not so quiet that I can't hear it in operation, and if I want to find how long left I still need to open it up to look at the display.
Installation did take the 2+ hours it suggested, however 1.5 hours of this was trying to understand the installation diagram! Bosch, why do you supply 10 user manuals in different languages but only one poorly laid out and insufficiently commented diagram for installation?
For the help of others:
The only difference between the two sides of the diagram is that one side is for one piece cupboard doors, and the other is where you want a fake door at the top. The rest is the same as far as I could work out.
There is a metal sheet supplied that needs to be attached to the underside of the worktop. This is only needed for wood/chipboard as a moisture protector, granite and other non-porous worktops don't need it.
Most of the fittings are inside in the middle basket but not all. Before you push the dishwasher into the cavity make sure you remove the rubber sheet that is on top that is used to go behind the kickboard. Doh!
The maximum foot rise is 6cm so you will need to stack something underneath them if the gap underneath the units is large. I found the two wooden supports from the packing ideal for this. The front legs are stiff to adjust, particularly to start with. Have the right size spanner and room to wield it.
Fitting the power, water and drain was easy. It is just a replacement of the existing connections.
Fitting the cabinet door is not too difficult. Essentially use the template to measure/mark the gap between the top of the doors and the worktop on the surrounding units and then shift this on the door you want to fit. My tip would be to only drill 30-40% of the required fixings, leave the template in place and do a test fit. If it is OK, then drill the rest otherwise adjust template and redrill. Remember though it may be easier to adjust the surrounding doors rather than drill a lot of new holes in slightly different positions."
