"It’s Perfomance is beyond expectations, it cleans sparkling conditions, very satisfied "
"I bought this to replace our 2nd Dual Drawer Fisher & Paykel dishwasher. The 1st F&P we had for over a decade was great until it became faulty. But the quality of the cleaning suffered on the new replacement model due to poor design by the new owners of F&P. I sold this new generation model for 1/3 of the original price on eBay. I then put this money towards this new Bosch dishwasher.
[PROS]
Overall I am pleased with this Bosch model. The main reasons I chose it were:
1) The cutlery drawer at the top which slides out
2) The ability to delay the start of the wash program until the early hours of the morning when power is cheaper.
3) Height adjustable top shelf for tall glasses (also a weakness, see below)
[CONS]
Here are my criticisms of this machine:
1) There is no quick 40-minute program like on our old F&P machine. The fastest program takes just over 1h @ 60 degrees.
2) The “Eco” mode takes 3h 50m @ 50 degrees. I don’t understand why there is a massive difference of almost an extra 3 hours if the temperature is lowered by 10 degrees. Needless to say, we mostly use the 1h program all the time!
3) The height adjustable top shelf is a double-edged sword. In order to fit tall beer and wine glasses, you can quickly lower the top shelf by releasing a clip of either side of the sliding rails. But this means that the rotating blade underneath the top shelf can hit the top of large dinner plates that are located on the bottom shelf. Therefore, we just end up washing tall beer and wine glasses in the sink. The family doesn’t use many of these types of glasses so it’s not too much of an issue. But if you host lots of wine and dinner parties, this will be extremely inconvenient. "

"Fantastic quiet dishwasher just what you expect from Bosh
The new additional cutlery tray at the top ensures everything gets a rally good wash"
"Great Dishwasher and our second Bosch after 10yrs with the first one. Still getting used to the space with the cutlery drawer instead of basket, but that’ll come with time and organising when h be offer plates and wine glasses etc…. "
"We are really pleased with this dishwasher. I like that it has a cutlery drawer as it saves space in the lower drawer. The middle drawer is easily adjustable so you can fit taller glasses in although this does mean big plates can’t fit below as the washer arm hits them. The dishwasher has a good range of washes. We’ve tried out a few so far and have been pleased with the washing results. Would definitely recommend. "
