Bosch Home & Kitchen Appliances SMS25EW00G Serie 2 Freestanding Dishwasher, White, 13 place settings [Energy Class E]

I wasn’t sure that the 3rd level cutlery tray would clean properly but am amazed at the results. I can fit everything in, including pots and pans and it all comes out sparkling. Easy to install and very quiet operation. Great for value and performance

I really like this dishwasher, it's quiet economical and overall well built. Please be weary that it is 600 deep and may not sit flush.Amazon are ok! They change their price constantly and are sometimes very unwilling to change. I get it business blah de blah but I hadn't received the item at the time.Decent delivery.

This is a nice dishwasher however I find you can't fit as much in as some other dishwasher I've had, lots of wasted space. The racks at the top don't fold, space behind the wine glasses which is just too small for a glass to fit. Pint glasses don't sit well on the wine glass side. I've had it 3 days now and that's my only criticism. Cleans well, not overly noisy. Straightforward to install and good for the price.

A gift that keeps giving! Great dishwasher - great quality for this price. The cutlery drawer is a great solution - leaves a lot more space at the bottom drawer. Shelves can be adjusted or removed for tall pots. I'd definitely recommend

easy to use and to install. Very good value for money. Doesn't dry completely everything but which dishwaher does it anyway!?

We’ve put up with our last dishwasher for so long, having to dry the dishes at the end of a cycle😡 but this replacement is very good. It takes a bit of getting used to the cutlery rack rather than a basket but it’s so nice to put them straight into the cupboard from the dishwasher.😃

This dishwasher is extremely quiet, and, even on the shortest programme -29 minutes- leaves everything sparkling clean and shining. Cutlery drawer, as opposed to basket, keeps cutlery looking like new. I am very happy with the dishwasher.

UPDATE - after 3 months, I am now more used to the cutlery tray - and if you stack it correctly in groups, you can grab a handful of forks/knives/spoons, which makes filing back in the kitchen unit cutlery drawer much quicker.I still can't wash tall glasses on the top shelf (becasue our big plates on the bottom shelf mean I can't lower the top shelf).And finally... this doesn't dry as well as the old Bosch. You have to leave it closed for a few hours, or everything will still be wet.It has an 'extra dry' button, but that takes 20 minutes longer, probably in an attempt to be more eco-friendly. (Yes, that sounds contradictory.) So the 30-minute quick wash would need an extra 20 minutes. The half-hour (plus drying time) quick wash is good enough for nearly all eventualities, but maybe not for a full Sunday lunch.ORIGINAL REVIEWMaybe it's just me, but...We just replaced our previous Bosch with this new, similar one. The cutlery tray at the top seemed ideal: less bending, more room than the usual cutlery holder that goes on the bottom shelf. However, and maybe it's just me, I found a few quite irritating disadvantages to this:With the cutlery tray in position (at the top), it took longer to load, as all items have to be placed parallel to each other within the slots.When unloading cutlery, you have to get cutlery from the tray to your cutlery drawer - in our case, a few metres away. This takes longer.With the tray in position, the top basket would not take ANY type of stemmed glass.With the top basket lowered, to take stemmed glasses, the bottom basket would not take our dinner plates! Maybe we have unacceptably giant-sized plates (bog standard, from M&S), but the last Bosch was fine!So... the solution is to "live with it" or remove the cutlery tray (easy to do) and move your top basket a bit higher. In other words, like our previous Bosch.It's early days yet, so I'll update if we get used to it (we're going to try putting the tray back, and see if we get on with it) as a top tray is a great idea! But no way am I washing all our glasses by hand - defeats the object, yes?UPDATE - the two fold-down shelves, top right, are annoying me, too! When they are down OR up, they prevent you from washing mugs... ahey just won't fit, and we have plenty of mugs to clean. Even worse, I can't remove them easily, they have a vice-like grip on the top basket.This reviews seems like splitting hairs, but for some, it can be very annoying. So, just as long as you know...Performance-wise, everything is OK, and we love the short wash.FYI - We had 2 call-outs in 6 or 7 years with the previous "Best Buy" Bosch - not an expensive one - and when the heating elements went recently, and faced with a £180 or £260 estimated (by Bosch) bill for a third call-out, we just got a new one."Which?" magazine says reliable dishwashers (including Bosch) should last 20 years. But I don't really believe that! We've never had that luck.
