Thank you Bosch, sanity returns
5/5
Sanity returns. After years of being blessed with a dishwasher I had forgotten the daily grind of scrubbing pots and washing and drying dishes I finally have my new dishwasher up and running. I will never understand appreciate this appliance again.
I previously had an almost identical integrated slimline dishwasher from another brand, this was very similar to the equivalent Bosch and lasted for nearly 15 years. This time I opted for the updated and improved Bosch and so far I am very happy with this product. Although physically the same size as my previous product the Bosch has three drawers and holds more items without squashing. I particularly like the cutlery drawer.
The product is quite a lot quieter in use and has many more program choices. It can be set to run at a particular time and has WiFi connectivity which means I can run it remotely although this aspect does not seem useful to my retired status but may well be of use to working people. The WiFi aspect I do like is that I can instantly tell the status of the program cycle and which notifies me when the cycle has completed. There is also a quirky but handy little light in the base of the unit which shines on the floor and gives the remaining program time and cycle information, useful for those of us who have lived with a fully integrated washing machine for years and never quite knew at what stage the process had reached.
Finally the deciding reason why I chose this model was that in this time of high energy prices and the need to have the most efficient items in our homes, this Bosch model was the only product of its size from any manufacturer which claimed a C energy rating, all of the other:s posted an E rating. Well done Bosch, a well designed, well made and sturdy product.
I love it.
