Washing up by hand takes ages, so let this Bosch free-standing dishwasher handle it instead. It holds 12 place settings, which is enough for a medium-to-large household's dinner plates, pans and glassware in 1 go. 6 programmes cover everything from a quick 45°C Express when friends drop round to a 70°C Intensive for baked-on lasagne dishes. The AquaSensor III checks how dirty the water is and adjusts the wash accordingly, while AquaMix looks after your glasses. It runs at 46dB, so you can chat in the kitchen without raising your voice. Home Connect lets you start it from your phone without getting up from the sofa, and the time delay of 3, 6 or 24 hours means you can line up a wash to suit your day.
