Bosch SMV 53l30 Built-in Dishwasher Reviews

A shining example of a full-size, fully integrated dishwasher, the Bosch SPS 40E12 RU will effortlessly clean all your dishes. That's how a typical salesperson at a home appliance store would describe this machine. But what can you really say about this dishwasher beyond what's written in the description? Let's check out customer reviews and find out.

Positive

Lyudmila, Stary Oskol

Two years ago, I decided to buy a Bosch SPS 40E12 RU dishwasher online. It was my first major online purchase. I was reluctant, but I had no choice—we have two small children at home, and my husband works late. The technicians delivered and installed it literally the next day. My overall impression was positive from the start, and now I'm completely happy with my purchase.

1. The machine is large, yet it is completely hidden behind the furniture front, as if it were not in the kitchen at all.
2. It's incredibly roomy. Even after entertaining, when the dishes pile up like crazy, everything can be washed in one go.

I realized almost immediately that the dishes need to be arranged in baskets correctly, then they will wash well and fit in large quantities.

3. All the programs are well thought out, I especially like the pre-rinse and half-load options. If the dishes are very dirty and dry, you can't do without a pre-rinse.
4. Convenient and roomy cutlery basket.
5. The dish baskets have collapsible plate racks. If you're short on plates, they can be stacked, freeing up extra space for other dishes.
6. It operates quite quietly. The water filling and flushing process are a bit noisy, but the cleaning process is almost silent.

I use the machine very often, even when the dishes are only a few inches long. I take care of my hands, and I recommend you do the same. Five stars!

I bought this machine because of the brand and the reasonable price, and I think I made the right decision. It washes incredibly well and uses little detergent and water. I use half a tablet for a full load.Dishwasher-safe finish and everything washes off perfectly. There is a cool beam function on the floor. You walk into the dark kitchen and you can immediately tell whether the washing machine is still washing or has finished. I think I got "real gold" for that money.

If you're looking for a good dishwasher, consider the Bosch SPS 40E12 RU. I've had it for two years now, and my wife and I are very happy with it. Even our grimy old frying pans look newer, but we ruined the meat grinder. It turned black after washing. That's what it means to read the instructions after you do something stupid. I highly recommend it!

Anna, Moscow

I was happy with everything about this machine except the noise. My child would get scared when it filled with water. My husband found a solution: he bought some soundproofing material for cars, pulled the machine out of its niche, and then covered the body with it. After he put it back, I tried it out right away. Believe it or not, I didn't even know when the machine started washing or finished—it was perfectly quiet. Now my Bosch is flawless!

Boris, Yekaterinburg

I decided to buy a Bosch SPS 40E12 RU because my grandmother recently got one. She's a sophisticated woman, so she bought a decent washing machine. I tried it out, liked it, and bought the exact same model. I especially like the programs; my old washing machine only had two functions, so it didn't wash well. The Bosch washes great, I really like it!

Julia, St. Petersburg

A good dishwasher with all the necessary features: pre-soak, delayed-release timer, and an economy program for lightly soiled dishes. It holds 12 place settings, which is a lot; I don't have that many at home. The dishes dry well. Five stars!

Natalia, Moscow

It's wonderful that my first dishwasher was a Bosch, thanks to my husband. All my dishes have been transformed. And my hands have forgotten what it's like to mix detergent and hot water. The dishwasher is well-assembled, and I think it won't break. I highly recommend it!

Negative

Tatyana, Novosibirsk

When I bought the Bosch SPS 40E12 RU, I thought I'd never touch dishes again. But things turned out differently. I still wash pans and pots by hand because the dishwasher does a terrible job of cleaning them. A friend advised me to change the tablets because I was using cheap ones. I listened, got Finish, and started using one and a half tablets, but it didn't help. I don't recommend buying this dishwasher!

Ekaterina, Krasnoyarsk

This is a truly terrible machine; it broke on my third day of use. The electronics burned out, even though there was no power surge, nor could there have been, because our kitchen appliances are connected through a stabilizer. I'm very upset, a big minus to the manufacturer!
