Really good results after calling customers service line who arranged for an engineer to call and adjust the water softener.! Weeks wait for this to happen tho. He agreed that the instructions were conflicting and he would feed the matter back to Bosch.. now providing excellent results. As a matter of interest thr machine leaves the factory set at minimum salt setting.

This dishwasher is great value for mo ey, it washes well. The cutlery tray is great and makes putting g the cutlery away easier. Do
E things still come out wet, but it’s to be expected. It performs much better then the more expensive energy saving models,which I tried and sadly had to return due to poor performance, and having too wash things more by hand because they didn’t wash well or fit. New drying Technology didn’t seem to perform how it was advertised. Better off with an older model Until Bosch review this,and improve these more modern types.

We only buy the best (not most expensive) kitchen products and Bosch always does the business. We sold our old dishwasher (too long a story to explain why) and bought this model through Amazon. The Eco setting is phenomenal as it cleans brilliantly but doesn’t send our smart meter into Orange mode. This indicates the energy efficiency is off the scale. It’s clean, good looking, easy to use, need I go on.
Just buy this model, you’ll love it.
