The cleaning and drying performance of the Normal cycle is outstanding, a cycle length takes 120 min (2 hrs). In eco mode cleaning and drying performance are excellent. The Eco programme needs 150 min, uses 30% electricity less and uses less water than the normal programme (about 1.5 less). Usually no watermarks remain on washed and dried goods.

You will be able to load easily and comfortably plates, glasses, pots and pans etc. into the 9-place-setting space offered. A small disadvantage is the non-adjustable upper rack.

With dimensions of 85 x 45 x 61cm it doesn?t need much space and can be fitted well even into small kitchen-areas.

A delay timer is standard, so you can adjust dishwashing times to your personal needs. The low noise emission lets it work unobtrusively in the background.

This dishwasher is a freestanding model and with room for 9 place settings and dimensions of 85 x 45 x 60cm, ideal for the sparse space in the kitchen. The retail price at around £260 incl. delivery makes it also for the smaller budget affordable and gives you still the typical Bosch quality and reliability.

You have got the choice between a Normal, Eco, Intensive, Pre-rinse and a Quick wash programme. The Normal cycle length takes in this model 146 min (2 h 26 min). The Eco cycle needs longer, but saves a lot of electricity and water. A delay timer that can be adjusted from 1 to 19 hrs helps you organizing your day. It is very quiet during washing/drying.

Cleaning performance is outstanding and the drying is very good. However, you need to be prepared that this Bosch 18 inch dishwasher will leave some water on washed and dried goods, so you might need to wipe it dry before putting away. Again, watermarks are none left on dried loads.

The dishwasher is easy to use and comfortable enough to load. The upper rack is height adjustable. The filter needs to be cleaned occasionally by hand and it can be fiddly to take the filter device out of the machine.
