The best Bosch dishwasher models

Many buyers would like to know what the best Bosch dishwasher looks like. But the problem is that such a model objectively doesn't exist. Of course, it would be easy to invite renowned engineers and technicians, ask them to pick a random Bosch machine from the long line, and call it the best. But that would be a complete scam. In this article, we won't attempt to name the best Bosch dishwashers, but we will present the subjective opinions of two large groups of people: experienced users and repair technicians. We'll see what happens.

Why Bosch?

For two decades, customers have praised Bosch dishwashers for their reliability, functionality, and affordability. The range of models is so diverse that every customer can find a "home helper" that suits their needs and budget. Some manufacturers deliberately focus on producing appliances for the elite or middle class, but not Bosch. This brand produces both affordable and expensive dishwashers.

However, you won't find prohibitively cheap models in the Bosch lineup, as the company strives to avoid skimping on materials and produce products that are designed to last at least five years. In fact, some Bosch dishwashers last for 15-20 years without any maintenance. Both regular users and experienced appliance repair technicians note that Bosch dishwashers:

• wash dishes well;
• contain in their “arsenal” a large number of useful functions and programs;

Almost all Bosch dishwasher models are protected by the Aquastop system, which makes their operation much safer.

• have convenient baskets and well-positioned sprinklers;
• perfectly accommodates even non-standard dishes;
• They look great and fit into niches without any problems.

Besides,fastening the front to the dishwasher Bosch brands are pure pleasure. Machines of this brand “accept” any facades, standard and non-standard. For example, hanging a front panel on an Ikea dishwasher can take hours of tinkering. Need a dishwasher with a narrow frame? Bosch has a whole line of such machines. Prefer built-in models? Bosch has a huge selection. Even in the compact segment, Bosch has something to offer.

In short, no matter how hard we tried to be objective and avoid advertising Bosch, it didn't quite work. From now on, we'll try not to over-praise any particular brand, but rather provide facts and evidence.

The best cars according to users

Buyers have always wondered how to choose a dishwasher that performs well and is affordable. While it's possible to deceive a few dozen customers, the vast majority of them generally make the right choice. It turns out that some buyers and users, by demonstrating their choices, help others. So, we decided to analyze hundreds of reviews and customer ratings from online stores to draw some conclusions and highlight the top three best Bosch dishwashers.

1. Bosch Serie 2 SMV 30D20. This fully integrated, full-size dishwasher received the highest rating from user reviews and took first place in our small ranking. The model operates quite quietly, has a half-load mode and holds as many as 12 place settings. The machine also features a range of essential features, including a child safety lock, a lightly soiled dishwashing function, an audible signal at the end of the cycle, and more. It's quite reliable and, importantly, affordable. It currently retails for $440.
   
2. Bosch Series 6 SMS 40L08. Second place went to this freestanding, floor-standing dishwasher with a wide 60 cm body. Users praise this model for its reliability and ease of use. It features a display, a half-load mode, four wash programs, full leak protection, a delayed start, and even a water purity sensor. It's attractive and quiet. It's available for $455.
   
3. Bosch Serie 4 SPS 53E06. This model rounds out the top three best Bosch dishwashers according to users. It's a freestanding machine with a 45 cm cabinet and a unique design. Models with a black cabinet are particularly popular. The machine operates extremely quietly, features a display, and a host of features. Users especially appreciate the convenient and practical glass holder. The average price of the Bosch Serie 4 SPS 53E06 is approximately $430.

There's no point in commenting on users' opinions; you can see it all for yourself. It's also very difficult to judge the objectivity of their judgments, so we'll leave the users' decisions to their own consciences.

The best technology according to experts

Service center technicians across our vast country also weighed in on the best built-in and freestanding Bosch dishwashers, although their opinions were far more reserved than those of users. We compiled the many disparate comments about Bosch dishwashers and, based on them, identified three of the best models, which formed the technicians' top three dishwashers.

1. Bosch Series 4 SPV 40x80. This seemingly unremarkable, fully integrated dishwasher has received the highest praise from owners. It's well-built, features nearly all the latest technological features, washes and dries dishes perfectly, and operates almost silently. It uses just 9 liters of water to wash 9 place settings. It turns out that for 1 set she uses a liter of water, an amazing saving, and most importantly, this saving does not come at the expense of the quality of the wash. This “miracle” costs $465, which is quite acceptable for a machine of this class.
   
2. Bosch Series 4 SPS 53E. We already mentioned this model in the previous section. It's surprising that the opinions of experts and users overlapped at any point. This model is probably definitely worth considering.
3. Bosch Series 6 SPS 53M20. Bosch Series 6 machines aren't exactly held in high regard by shoppers. Only one model managed to barely make it to third place. This model was deemed quite reliable, well-built, and boasts all the modern features, including a floor-sweeping function. Given that the price is under $630, it's easily considered the perfect balance between price and quality.
   

So, we've briefly covered the most popular Bosch dishwashers, according to users and service technicians. We've tried to avoid drawing our own conclusions, although we haven't always succeeded. We're not asking you to share one opinion or another; think for yourself, but do analyze the information you receive. Other people's opinions, combined with your own, will spark an internal debate, and, as the saying goes, truth is born in debate. Happy choosing!
