Bosch dishwashers: rating of the best models + manufacturer reviews

Brand technology features

The dishwasher is a practical and useful appliance. He does an excellent job with his duties and allows the hostess to free up time for more important things. We propose to consider in more detail the characteristics of the PMM brand Bosch.

Classification by type of location

All Bosch dishwashers are available in two sizes, 45 and 60 cm, and are divided into three subspecies.

Free-standing units can be located in any convenient place, and leave the client the opportunity to plan the kitchen space personally for themselves and without any restrictions.

Devices can be placed completely independently or "hidden" under the worktop, optimizing in this way the usable area of ​​the room.

Bosch pays great attention to the quality of the parts used. High-strength modern materials and components are used for manufacturing

As a result, the finished product is operationally stable and reliably serves the owners for many years.

Built-in modules allow you to preserve the interior style of the kitchen without disturbing it with the appearance of household appliances. This is very convenient in cases where an extraordinary style solution in the original color scheme is implemented in the room.

Before going on sale, dishwashers are tested. They are checked with special programs, exposed to water and heat, trying to detect a possible malfunction. Only after these events, the equipment that has passed the tests is in the store.

Compact Bosch dishwashers are easily placed even in a small-sized room with a complex layout and do not “eat up” a single extra centimeter of its usable area.

The optimal size of the modules is harmoniously combined with good, deployed functionality and a high level of reliability.

Technological functionality of machines from Bosch

The general principle of operation, operating rules and a set of basic features are the same for all units. It consists of several simple modes, among which there are necessarily intensive, economical and fast washing.

The technique consumes 6-12 liters of water in one cycle. This is enough to process from 6 to 14 sets, depending on the capacity of the machine's internal tank.

The main differences are in the additional functions that devices of different series are equipped with.

Bosch original options

Products included in the line of kitchen washing equipment from Bosch, in addition to the basic programs, have the following original options:

• IntensiveZone - functions in modules with a tank divided in half. At different speeds, water is supplied to the chambers, which differs in temperature. This allows you to wash greasy dishes in the lower part with a strong, hot pressure, and in the upper part to rinse fragile, slightly soiled products;
• Shine & Dry - with the help of the zeolite mineral, it dries dishes faster and better;
• Active Water - without user intervention, automatically calculates the optimal amount of consumed resources depending on the load level, helping to save water and electricity;
• VarioSpeed ​​Plus - allows you to speed up the washing process by increasing energy consumption. Time savings range from 20 to 50%;
• AquaStop - protects equipment from leaks. Guarantees completely safe use of both free-standing and built-in models;
• EcoSilenceDrive is a progressive inverter motor.Connects directly and demonstrates high efficiency and complete noiselessness of operation;
• AquaVario - recognizes the level of soiling and the material from which the dishes are made. Selects the appropriate processing mode for glass, porcelain and other delicate materials;
• Hygiene - disinfects with water at a higher temperature and performs an additional rinse;
• HygienePlus - provides the possibility of processing kitchen utensils with water and high temperature steam.

These useful options are present in full or in part in a variety of models. The client can choose the most suitable option for himself and pay only for the really necessary parameters.

Dishwashers are divided into several groups:

Desktop machines are the smallest - in size they resemble microwave ovens. On average, such equipment can handle 5 sets of dishes per cycle. This option is quite enough for a small family, according to customer reviews for a reliable dishwasher.

Built-in models are simply mounted inside kitchen sets. The facade is located on the front panel. One of the most rational ways to install equipment. Thanks to this, the appearance of the kitchen does not deteriorate.

With partial embedding, the same thing happens, but not completely. The option is suitable if the facade for one reason or another does not want to be installed.

And here are some tips:

Availability of special hoses with AquaStop system. Water simply will not come out of the device in any dangerous situation.
Water recovery function. Modern units are designed in such a way that they themselves take care of a suitable level of rigidity.

It is better to pay attention to new models that have this function.
Delay timer. It allows you to postpone the start of work, for example, at night.

The equipment can start itself, even when the owners are not at home.
Software used. Each user chooses the functionality that will be used more often.
Dimensions. There is no need to remake the headset itself for new equipment. Therefore, it is recommended to take measurements in advance, and only then go to the store.
Embedding type.This was discussed above.

conclusions

In the final part of the review, we will finally decide on the choice Bosch dishwasher, based on an analysis of the practical and technical characteristics of each model.

If you want to save

The most budget model of the series is the Bosch SPV 40E10 device. Its purchase in comparison with analogues will be significantly cheaper, but in return for such savings, you get a noisy car with the possibility of typical breakdowns that can occur in just a year

I would not recommend dwelling on this option, I have seen much better properties at a more affordable price in embedded BEKO dishwashers, pay attention to them. This is a good economy class.

The best choice for quality and price

I consider the Bosch SPV 53M00 device to be the most successful purchase.It did not reveal critical shortcomings and, in my opinion, is characterized by a successful set of technical properties. Yes, you will pay for the brand, but you will be quite satisfied with the operation of the model.

In addition, you can pay attention to the dishwasher Bosch SPV machine 43M00. It does not work as quietly as we would like and you will have to learn how to interact with the device correctly, but in this series I have not seen a frank marriage

Is it worth it to shell out?

If you are thinking about whether to purchase the most expensive Bosch SPV 58M50 review model, I would advise you to evaluate all the advantages of such a purchase three times. The choice should be extremely careful, as there is a risk of running into a marriage. Of course, you can change the device, but for such an expensive price, you want to get a really excellent product. I would recommend turning to Siemens built-in dishwashers. Both companies belong to the same concern, but the characteristics of the Siemens models are disproportionately higher.
