The Good and just a very few niggles hence the 4*,s
4/5
The new dish washer works really well. The items come out dry due to good design of the plate racks. Our old dish washer used to leave puddles in mug bases etc. the Bosch doesn't. The slots in the cutlery basket are a tad tight for our cutlery so we have to twist it around a little to remove items and no flexibility you either have a slotted lid or fold it out of the way an no separation of the utensils. (This is the only point that was better on our old machine and as the old basket fits the new machine we have a choice). It has lots of innovative features such as a very easily set timer; for over night use (we have an economy 7 meter). It is Wi-Fi connected, although I can't think it's a feature we would use, except if there was an issue (then Bosch customer services could check out the problem from a distance, so they say). The lower tray rolls out very well onto the open door with no rubber seals to catch. (This was an issue on our previous non Bosch dish washer). The fitting instructions could be better although provided you can use the Q reader on a smart phone all becomes clear thanks to the animations. You will need a Torx bit or Torx screwdriver to fit the screws as they are not Slotted or Pozidrive. I was lucky I had one of the correct size. If not the job would have ground to a halt. The new machine fitted well into our cabinet space left by the old machine and feels solid and well made. It projects a red disc onto the floor when in operation which is handy as it is quiet in some parts of the process. Given the Bosch name and I hope reliability we think it was worth the extra expense over a cheaper model.
