About this product
This Bosch dishwasher is a practical addition to your kitchen and has room for 12 place settings, great for medium sized households. With 6 programmes and a height-adjustable top basket offering extra space especially for tall dishes, this dishwasher is easy to use and versatile. Extra drying option for difficult-to-dry loads - The Extra Dry function makes the drying time at the end of a cycle last longer and boosts the temperature so even items like plastic containers are dry.
Less water, less energy, better performance - With carefully targeted water distribution, filter technology, faster heating and increased pump output for water circulation, ActiveWater dishwashers give superb results.
Dishwashing like you've never heard before - The EcoSilence drive delivers high-performance cleaning with low noise emission. Equipped with a brushless, energy-saving motor that optimally reduces friction noise, the EcoSilence drive ensures a much smoother, quieter operation.
Take the guesswork out of cleaning - Choosing an incorrect programme not only wastes time, but also water and energy. Bosch automatic programmes regulate the water temperature and rinse time during washing to suit the level of soiling and load volume. This means, you only use as much water as needed for perfect results.

Excellent dishwasher
The dishwasher runs with a low, unobtrusive noise level, making it easy to forget it’s on. Its efficiency is excellent, using minimal water and power while still delivering a strong clean. The capacity is surprisingly generous for its size, with adjustable racks that make loading flexible and straightforward.

Great appliance, recommend.
Have had the appliance a week now. It was a replacement for my old Bosch dishwasher which lasted for an impressive 18 years, hence buying another Bosch. Pleased with it overall but it's capacity is a bit smaller than my previous model. It also doesn't come with a knife rack which is disappointing, however I saved my knife rack from my old appliance and it fits! There are enough programmes and additional options to choose from, meaning you can customise to your needs. There is very little noise and not sure the silent programme is needed as I can barely hear it anyway! Dishes come out lovely and clean and nice and dry, so it's efficiency is as good as my previous model. Really pleased and would definitely recommend, particularly as it comes with a 5 year warranty, which many other brands don't.

Works well.
The machine works well, the top doesn't fit quite right but that's a minor issue. An issue with the delivery but o.k. once it arrived.

Good Bosch Wash but not user-friendly
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I belong to that probably significant proportion of the population who rely on having a dishwasher which is simple to use and does a good job in cleaning crockery and cutlery for a good many years without any major difficulties arising. Our last Bosch Dishwasher Model No. SGS46E22 purchased on 03 June 2008 amply satisfied this expectation: it reached the end of its life after almost 18 years regular use, mostly using the same default programme we had chosen. All we had to do was ensure that detergent, salt and rinse aid requirements were fulfilled, load the dishwasher and press ‘On’. Our newly acquired SMS26AW08G/64 installed on 26 March 2026 has turned out to be not so user friendly thus far: Its default programme, ‘Eco 50ºC’ takes 3 hours, which is too long when you want to use some of the crockery which is being washed sooner than after waiting for 3 hours, or when there is a 2nd load waiting to be done. The user manual does not inform you that this default programme cannot be changed – and so I spent 2 hours trying to change the default programme to the ‘Quick 1 hour wash’, without success, largely because the results of my Google search for instructions did not work. It was only when I did a second Google Search a couple of days later using AI that I was informed that the default programme cannot be changed on this model, but that for each new wash, after turning the dishwasher ‘On’, we could select our programme of choice and then press ‘Start’. Unfortunately, this did not always work: the dishwasher would automatically revert to the default 3 hour programme and would ignore the 1 hour programme we were trying to select. Again, the instruction booklet did not tell us how to overcome this glitch, but a Google search using AI provided the work around so as to be able to avoid the default programme and select our chosen programme. So in conclusion, this newer model is not nearly as user friendly as our last long lasting simple to use model – and the user manual has to be supplemented by a Google search using AI. I am glad to say that other than these difficulties, the dishwasher provides the excellent Bosch wash to which we have been accustomed for many years – thank you. My good wife says that Bosch should change the machine, because the product description: 1. does not inform the buyer that the default programme cannot be changed except on a wash by wash basis; and 2. the user manual does not tell you what to do when the default programme will not permit you make your own selection; and 3. also because for the first few washes there has been a strong smell of rubber emanating from the machine. I have replied that this probably would only happen if Bosch decided, as a gesture of good will, to exchange the machine to one which allows the purchaser to decide the default programme – and that I had read somewhere that there is likely to be a smell of rubber when the dishwasher is used for the first time.

Thank you for using Q and A.
Hi MissBabs
For items such as dishwashers, these need to be disconnected beforehand to ensure that there is no residual water in the machine. Whether, in your case, the installer would be prepared to disconnect, would be at their discretion. However, this can be discussed beforehand when placing the order but the official line would be to have it disconnected beforehand if at all possible.
Thanks for using Q&A
