When I opened the door at the end of the first cycle which was initiated by the installation engineer, I found some items inside the dishwasher; polystyrene foam particles from the packaging, a grey rubber strip and an unopened complimentary sachet of dishwasher tablets and water softener. I wasn't sure if these were supposed to be left inside, and I'm a bit concerned about the rubber strip. The machine is an improvement in some ways over my previous Bosch, although I preferred the cutlery basket to the new cutlery shelf at the top. The bottom drawer makes a scuffing noise when being wheeled in and out, but I can't see where it is sticking. I don't like all the extra plastic prongs as they take up space. I have to make sure that large plates are placed to either side in the bottom drawer, as they are still in the way of the top basket if I place them near the middle. The depth of this model is greater than its predecessor, and so it sticks out by an extra inch or two than everything else, which is a bit annoying. I like that they have re-designed the salt cap without a thread, as the old one could get salt granules trapped in the cap thread. The machine came with a free 5-year warranty which gives good peace of mind. Whether it will last 19 years like my old one, I somehow doubt.

So far great product, had it for two weeks now and no issues and was easy enough to install.

This is our first dishwasher. We didn’t have room for a full size one so needed a slimline model. This one comes with a cutlery tray rather than a basket, as we were compromising on space this seemed the best option. It really does give you a lot more space in the bottom. The adjustable middle shelf is very useful and helps to make the most of the available space, it can be moved both up and down depending on load and is very easy to do. Once you get use to placement of items you will be surprised with how much you can get in. There was a grey rubber strip loose inside the dishwasher, this is for if you want to remove the top and install it built under a worktop instead of freestanding. The strip attaches to the bottom of the dishwasher to cover the gap that will be left when you raise it to the height of the worktop (See Installation Instruction sheet). It’s early days but so far we are very impressed with the results. We have only used the Eco and the Auto programmes but both have given amazing results. If you press the SpeedPerfect+ button the Eco mode runs for 1hr 5 mins and the Auto in 1hr 20 mins. There are plenty of options and it is very quiet when running. Everything comes out perfectly clean and the cutlery looks like new.

Quite efficient and well integrated with the app. Love it!!

Great dishwasher. Love the cutlery drawer. Plenty of space for a whole meals pans and dishes.

Love it! It's very quiet so I can be in the kitchen while it is on! The cutlery tray takes some getting used to, and I found the other trays not fully suitable for slightly odd shaped dishes like pasta bowls, which me and my husband normally love to use. But I'm getting used to using other dishes to help prop bowls and pasta dishes in a angled formation that allows them to be washed.

This a a replacement for the older version that we had. A great slimline, quiet, surprisingly voluminous, and efficient.

dishwasher perfect in use
