Bosch SMS67MW00G Serie 6 Freestanding Dishwasher with PerfectDry, 14 place settings, 60cm wide, White [Energy Class D]

This is our second dishwasher after our first one started to give up the ghost after 17 years of use which was a Miele, so this review will be somewhat based against old dishwasher. Reason we went for a Bosch was the price. Ok, this one isn’t far off from a basic Miele, but I can assure you the parts will be a damn sight cheaper if it came to having to replace anything.The dry cycle on this one is different from the Miele which had a little extraction fan on the door, so I wasn’t expecting the same good results. How wrong was I,,everything came out bone dry & cleaner too, sparkly clean in fact. Just make sure to read the instruction manual, as it will tell you not to block one port in particular which helps with the drying. Also I’ve read other reviews saying that it didn’t dry mugs properly & left little pools of water on base. All dishwashers suffer from this to some extent, so just place mugs in at a angle to help the drying process. I’ve attached a photo to show what I mean. If I placed it in the normal fashion it wouldn’t be at decent angle, but thinking slightly out the box improves it.The separate cutlery tray is excellent & I found placing items much easier than the old dishwasher, which tended to allow teaspoons to fall over & collect water, which then would drip on anything underneath when opening tray, this one holds everything secure. Again, I wasn’t sure if this dishwasher would clean cutlery as well as old one, as that had a little wash arm where the Bosch just has a nozzle. Again, I was wrong & everything clean & sparkly.Still getting used to the controls, but I’m 90% there, but this is only because I was so used to the old one. Topping up the salt is extremely easy & the funnel reduces salt going everywhere, unlike old dishwasher, as the funnel was poorly designed. Filter at bottom is extremely easy to clean, as it can be broken down to three parts. Overall this dishwasher is excellent. It cleans & dries extremely well & all done quietly.Top tipSo far I’ve done the following. When emptying the dishwasher always pull out the bottom tray & empty first, because when you pull out the middle tray you get a few drips of water come off the wash arm underneath, thus only landing on the door & not on any dry plates etc. First world problem really, but saves you having to give anything a little dry with a tea towel.

Kept promising myself would get a BOSCH dishwasher, so when the old one finally gave up the ghost did a lot of comparisons and checking and plunged for this one.The racks and trays to load stuff are very flexible and variable, I've got larger items in this dishwasher I couldn't have contemplated fitting to the old one and that wasn't small and still able to fit tall glasses in the top rack using the tilt adjustment.But the first thing you notice is it's quiet, I kept stopping it to begin with and opening it up to see if it was actually doing anything - it was.Apart from the occasional when some parts of the cycle start up, it virtually silent other than when the beep goes off to tell you its finished (I know I can look at the display).The auto and Vario settings can make a big difference as the time taken to wash is altered by the water sensors measuring how opaque the water is - so time gets trimmed off the cycle if it doesn't need to wash up so much.And yes it does clean well, the Intensive option does a good job on pans and heavily soiled items.The extra dry really does dry plastics well, although you do need to make sure everything is angled well to drain.Downsides: it does go through rinse aid quickly no matter what you set it at and unfortunately it doesn't like the tablet salt I use for the house water softener (it simply doesn't register it in the salt chamber - so have to resort to the granular salt - which is a bit more expensive - so mix the two).Other than that well pleased.

We had a Bosch dishwasher in our previous place. When we moved the new place had a built in dishwasher already there. A different brand. It lasted 4 years driving me crazy all the time. I had at least one or two items to hand wash from every load. So when it finally broke we did not even try to repair, just got a Bosch. OMG. What a difference! Everything is clean. Everything is dry. And it's so quiet when we start it we listen hard if something is happening. I know Bosch is more expensive than some other brands. But it's worth every penny. The whole purpose of having a dishwasher is to have it easier. Bosch makes it happen.

We've had Bosch dishwashers for years. This is a good one. Not sure its any better than the other ones we have had (hence 4 stars). it cleans the pots well - you need to get used to the settings to make sure you chose an appropriate cycle. A couple of times we have used a cycle that hasn't been medieval enough for the pots we have put in - other than that the stuff comes out lovely and clean with minimum of fuss.If you have been used to cutlery basket the tray may get some getting used to. its not bad and it does create more space in the machine for pots BUT you have to get your head around loading it and also put in the cutlery away afterwards. We used to take the basket out and put stuff in the drawers - it doesn't work ike that - obviously....1st world problems :-)

Very pleased with this dishwasher bought to replace my AEG of 16 years it is quiet efficient and the drying is excellent I have only used 2 programmes up to now I was surprised to find the eco programme took 3 hours so I haven't used that yet but the short 60 degree works beautifully for me I was lucky to buy when on offer so value for money gor me also would like tk add the delivery drivers were very helpfulWould recommend

This dishwasher is very quiet, very good at cleaning, and leaves glasses sparkling. Obviously I'm pleased with it.I find the cutlery draw much better than the basket in my previous dishwasher. The bottom draw works well for plates and bowls of various sizes.However I find the middle draw a bit limiting. Some cups don't sit at enough of an angle to drain water off and it can't accommodate tall glasses.
