"I did a lot of research to choose a dishwasher since I have not had one for 6 years and a lot has changed. I only had limited space so I had to choose 45cm one and having a brand new kitchen installed, I wanted the best at minimal cost. Knowing the BOSCH reputation it was at the top of my list of preferred brands, but more essential them that, I need a small dishwasher to be able to wash big pots as we love cooking, so having the option to adjust the height of top drawer was a must (and the option to remove it too!). Lots of Tupperware at home meant that it needed to have a very good drying option for plastics (this one has a special option for extra dry, although they are still not completely dry). I also needed it to have a delicate option to wash glass as I have crystal glasses and wanted to make sure that when I wash the fridge shelves in there, they won't go cloudy over time.
But most of all I was worried that since this is an integrated dishwasher, no controls will be visible when closed and that if it is a quiet one, which was important and this one definitely is quiet, how do I know if it is working and how long it still had to go (should I wait for it to empty it in the evening or simply go to bed). This particular one had the answer, a floor projected information about the time and the cycle! I can't tell you how much this has been a game changer! I had nightmare scenarios running through my head when I was thinking of buying a dishwasher about post-its on it to tell the family when it was switched on, floods in the kitchen if someone opens it while it is working because they did't hear it, etc. Instead, this model simply projects a very bright and clear indication on the floor! It also projects the remaining time if it is switched on a timer! I simply LOVE IT!
The wash quality is great, the drying of plastic could be better but it is so much better than having to wash them by hand that I don't mind a little wipe with a kitchen towel every now and then to have the convenience of washing them in the dishwasher...
It is very quiet!
It is a tad expensive, but for me, it is definitely worth the money!"

"Good build quality and a range of wash options. Time display is very useful too. It is also very quiet. Only criticism would be tall glasses can be a problem as the washer as a cutlery tray at the top rather than a basket."
