Bosch Series 6 SMS6ZCW00G Standard Dishwasher - White

Overall a good machine

"Seems to be a good machine, some plastic still has a bit of water left on it at the end but generally cleans and drys well. WiFi connection is handy as can put the cleaning tablet in during the day, load the dishwasher throughout the day and if you forgot to turn it on before bed you can ask alexa to start the machine without having to go downstairs.

Wife is definitely happy with it!"

"After a few weeks of using I am really happy with the dishwasher. Cleaning is on point and it dries so much better than our older machine. Only slight complaint is the lowest rack needs to allow for bigger dinner plates in terms of depth. They have to get stuffed in at an angle to get them to fit and I would say we have very average sized plates. "

Worked straight out of the box, cleans and dries very well.

"Does exactly what it says on the tin - washes & dries everything to perfection. Despite a Which review saying it's only drawback is that it's a bit noisy, it's probably quieter than our previous Bosch so everything is relative. We mostly run it in ECO mode overnight in a kitchen with the door open (for the cat) and we can't hear it upstairs. We've actually removed the top cutlery drawer and re-used the cutlery container from our old machine as the top drawer prevents us opening the cutlery drawer in the kitchen unit, but that's our kitchen design rather than the dishwasher - just check first! This machine seems to dry better than our last Bosch dishwasher which lasted for 23 years of daily use with only minor repairs (one control unit, one spring, a new button, and a replacement drawer) that I sorted out myself. This one does take 20 seconds or so to power up as it's now computerised, but not worth losing a star for."

It does the job, but I'm not wowed.

"Pros:

1. Contents are mostly fully dry at the end of the run, they just need to cool down before unloading. Saucepans though often have some water in handles, please see below in 'Cons'.

2. Everything is always fully clean including items such as casserole dishes with hard dried-on food remains. This is great.

3. The cutlery drawer is excellent, freeing up space below as no cutlery rack needed.

4. The machine switches itself off at the end of the run, with no bleeping or lights on.

5. Looks good.

Cons:

1. The way the baskets are configured makes it difficult to load saucepans so that water runs down the handles and dries off. The bottom basket seem to be designed to hold lots of plates rather than a mix of crockery, pots and pans.

2. The shortest ('Express') run time is 90 minutes. The Eco run time is 4 hours. Ok if you don't need to use any of the items in the near future, not so otherwise.

3. The symbols that light up warning of low salt and rinse aid are tiny and hard to spot, also unclear which is which without consulting the manual. There is no 'wash the filter' alert - the manual says to do this after every wash, which isn't, by observation, necessary.
