Bought to replace a similar 12 year old Bosch dishwasher - which had been very reliable right up to its demise. I’ve had this one several weeks and I like it well enough. It’s very quiet and reasonably easy to set up and use.
I have not connected it to the Wi-Fi or downloaded any apps - I can think of no earthly reason why I’d want to rely on the internet to set my dishwasher off - it’s not like I can load, unload or fill it with detergent remotely! Knowing that it has finished its cycle is certainly never going to be enough of an emergency that I’ll want a notification on my phone - and it’s all just one more thing to go wrong.
I had to remove the top cutlery shelf immediately otherwise I couldn’t configure the other 2 shelves/baskets to allow me to load my dinner plates on the lower one and tall, narrow glassware/jars on the top. Not even using the height adjustment mechanism. Luckily I’d suspected this might be the case, so saved the old-stylee cutlery basket from its ancestor so all is well.
Cleaning performance is generally great - but it definitely doesn’t cope with the dried-on grunge of my sourdough starter jars as well as my old Bosch stalwart did . Those always have to have a second go-round in this one. Other than that though, everything is gratifyingly sparkly clean.
The cutlery shelf and the sourdough jars have lost it a star, but overall I would recommend, for sure.
