    Designed to be a compact addition in your kitchen, this compact dishwasher from Bosch offers you full functionality and powerful cleaning. Don’t let its size fool you, this dishwasher is feature packed with a range of programs suited for a busy households.

    The inbuilt EcoSilence Drive offers you brushless performance. Designed for quiet operation and longevity, the EcoSilence Drive in this dishwasher is a must if you’re looking for reliability. Designed to be water efficient, the inbuilt aqua sensor cleverly adjusts water usage based on how dirty your dishes are, saving you money on your water bill.

    Please note: This dishwasher does not arrive with top or side panels.

    Speed Wash

    When you need to clean a load of dishes in a rush, Bosch’s SpeedPerfect wash option allows you to wash up to 50% quicker than usual. Perfect for when you’re short on time, and in need of clean dishes.

    Aqua Sensor

    Not all dirty dishes are the same, sometimes your dishwasher will only need to clean lightly soiled dishes, and in that situation, less water is required to get the same wash. The Aqua sensor in this dishwasher uses a light sensor to detect how dirty the water in your dishwasher is, and whether or not your dishes need some extra love to get them tip-top.

    Load Sensing

    Whether you’re washing a large load or a small load, you’ll be happy to know that this dishwasher will cleverly optimise the amount of water used based on your wash size. Good for the environment, good for your water bill.

    Heat Exchanger

    The heat exchanger inside this dishwasher recycles heat generated from the main wash cycle for the rinse and dry cycle. Not only does this save energy (saving you money) it also offers you a unique, fully-enclosed drying system that hygienically traps the air in the dishwasher to avoid outside bacteria soiling your freshly cleaned dishes.

    Bosch single drawer
    Loving our Bosch single drawer dishwasher. Compact, quite enough for my hubby and me.
    Gloria2018-05-18
    Poor preformance
    Probably worst dish washer I have had, always wet in side even though unit is set to the hottest setting possible (70 c pots & pans setting), usually have to dry dishes & cutlery with tea towel when unloading. Bottom of unit full of water underneath the mesh filter when I remove the filter. Also always wash with Vario speed, intensive zone & extra dry all turned on.

    Questions & answers

    Hi there, I see that this dishwasher is 500mm deep - is this the depth including connected hoses etc? I need it to fit in a 520mm cabinet. This looks like the only one that might have a chance of fitting! Thank you Rose · 2020-12-23
    Hi there, Thank you for your question. Yes, 500mm is the minimum space required for the cavity including the hose. Kind regards, Appliances Online Milly, Appliances Online
    Could you please tell me where this appliance is assembled? My understanding is that it's made in the USA (North Carolina?). I'm seeking a drawer dishwasher but want to be careful about the country of origin. Many thanks Frederick · 2020-12-21
    Hi there, Thank you for your question. The country of origin is Germany. Kind regards, Appliances Online Bronte, Appliances Online
    Some people asked could this be used as a benchtop dishwasher but AO said it could not. I do not understand why. I have a bench in the laundry where i would like to put a benchtop dishwasher. Why can't i use this dishwasher as a benchtop dishwasher?? Neil · 2020-10-24
    Hi there, Thank you for your question. This product is designed to be installed underneath a bench, not on top of it, as it must be built into the cabinetry for operation. Kind Regards, Appliances Online Milly, Appliances Online
    Could this dishwasher be installed under a sink in a 60x60x60 cabinet? FranM · 2019-03-23
    HI Fran, Unfortunately not that I have seen. This unit 500mm deep and the standard for cabinetry is 600mm, therefore, there wouldn't be enough room for the sink's plumbing. Ideally, this has to be to the side at the least. Thank you for making contact. Joshua JoshB, Appliances Online
