This is a slick, clean and simple to use Bosch dishwasher. Its appearance comes in a black tone which looks great, however, plan ahead and think of how it would look in your kitchen or where you will be placing it up. Let’s take a look at its main features:

• Contains an A+ performance rating
• Drying performance of an A rating
• Uses 12L of water
• 5 programmes namely; Intensive 70 °C, Normal 65 °C, Economy 50 °C, Quick Wash 45 °C and pre-rinse
• Speed perfect option to speed up washing times
• Simple to use

With this model of Bosch dishwasher it includes a speed perfect option allowing you to reduce time of any washing setting that you use. When utilizing the speed perfect option it will speed up your dishwasher although increasing energy costs and possibly not getting the best results. Nevertheless this speed perfect option is a great benefit for many customers who think the cycle times are too long or if you require your dishes or glass cleaned quicker.

This black dishwasher also offers a simple to use control panel that also displays a quick description of each cycle programme. The panel contains a red LED timer to display how long is left for the dishwasher to run, a delay setting so you can delay the wash for up to 24 hours and easy dial to select the programme you wish to use.

Flexible baskets and plenty of space make it a good dishwasher for a plenty of items. The top basket is 3 place adjustable so if you require large plates or bowls in the bottom tray you can quite simply adjust the top rack so they can fit in. The cup and glass holders are also steady managing to keep glasses upright.

The negatives of this particular black dishwasher from Bosch is not much…Like many of our dishwasher reviews the handbooks have not been great and could have been more informative even though this dishwasher is easy to setup and use. Possibly not the cheapest of all models but certainly not too expensive especially for this model that we defiantly recommend. Although this is a great looking black dishwasher that could also be a negative some pre-purchase as it may not suit your rooms design and stand out for the wrong reason.

Customer Experiences

Summary

Overall we really do recommend this dishwasher as it has proved to clean well, provide easy customer usage, great speed perfect option and has a great appearance.

So our dishwasher ratings, we rate this dishwasher with a perfect 5 out 5!

The SMS53E22GB Bosch Dishwasher from their Exxcel range. This dishwasher may be a little more up market from some other Bosch dishwasher models but from that it manages to score a higher overall rating. Some of its main features:

• It has A++ performance rating!
• The drying performance is rated at A
• Limits water consumption only using 10 Liters
• Load sensor that detect your placed items and can control the cycle speed and water levels accordingly
• Quiet when running, some say too quiet, they even have to check to ensure it is running!
• 5 Programmes to wash at: Intensive 70 °C, Auto 45-65 °C, Economy 50 °C, Quick Wash 45 °C and Pre Rinse

Like some other models was cycles seem to be a little long and unfortunately some of these cycles are the same although still contains the quick wash programme for a quick 30 minute wash. Also with this model comes the speed perfect option that actually can cut down some cycle time so is an improvement from some previous Bosch Dishwasher models.

Downfalls; Well the supplied manual is not the best with “ok” instructions, but some features are not explained as good as they could be. The cost makes it a bit of a decision on its own due to more competitive dishwashers around that are cheaper. However it is from Bosch which holds a high rating for performance and lifespan. No half load features seems to have been implemented in this model so a slight energy saver feature has been lost there too.

Bosch Dishwasher Summary

Overall the SMS53E22GB Bosch dishwasher offers a great energy saving model with extra features although it has lost some features such as half load. The biggest problem with this Bosch dishwasher would be the price as this can be a big factor when considering purchasing this appliance.

We rate the SMS40C02GB Bosch Dishwasher at a 4 possibly it would be higher if it was just not as pricey.

This Bosch dishwasher is part of their classixx range that promises to deliver the clean, high build quality that Bosch has produced in their previous dishwashers. Some of its main features:

• Great energy performance rating in at A+
• Great drying performance with a rating of A
• Makes use of only 12 Litres of water
• Half load energy saver, with this feature you can save even more energy when you half fill the dishwasher
• Load sensor that detect your placed items and can control the cycle speed and water levels accordingly
• Quiet…we all love quiet appliances

So far so good, with good energy saving features…but surely there is negatives? Yes this Bosch dishwasher comes with 4 programme features, Pre-Rinse, Normal (65°), Eco (50°) and Quick Wash (45°). So the downfalls, for starters the times compared to other dishwashers the cycle times are long except for the quick wash. The cycle times are 30 minutes, 2.5 hours and 3.25 hours! Of course at least there is the quick wash right? Well using the quick wash has proven for some not to be great for washing or drying, it doesn’t seem to wash real dirty items or grease off of all items and won’t dry them properly but is suitable for those not so dirty items.

Bosch Dishwasher Summary

Overall this is a good energy efficient dishwasher and of course there will be the downfalls but in comparison to its energy efficiency, quiet noise levels and other features such as load sensors overall this Bosch Dishwasher delivers. Just know if you want a fast dishwasher to clean properly dirty, greasy items at a fast speed other than a couple hours then looking elsewhere may be more beneficial!

We rate the SMS40C02GB Bosch Dishwasher at a 3.5
