    Overview

    With premium features such as internal LED lighting, ultra-quiet operation, 4 and 5 star energy and water ratings, and load sensing technology, it’s not hard to see why Bosch is a world leader in dishwashers.

    Bosch has designed their Serie 8 dishwashers for full-family usage. It’s a design that focuses on solving the little problems that come up with daily use. Internal LED lights not only makes it easier to see inside your dishwasher, it makes it safer to load and unload before and after a wash. And thanks to the convenient cutlery draw at the top, cleaning your cutlery is a breeze.

    Thanks to a super-silent design and the EcoSilence drive, this dishwasher is one of the quietest in the market. Meaning you can wash at night without disturbing anyone’s sleep. 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.
    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.

    Super Silence

    A cleverly insulated design, among other reasons, allows this Bosch dishwasher to operate quietly. This is an ideal feature for those wishing to run their dishwasher at night while they sleep or for those with open-plan living areas.

    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.

    Intensive Zone

    When your heavy pots and pans are truly soiled, you’ll love the IntensiveZone functionality in this dishwasher; which increases the water pressure in the bottom basket to deep-clean your soiled pots and pans – saving you from scrubbing dirty pots.

    Poor Workmanship
    After 3 1/2 years my Bosch dishwasher SMS88TI04A/01 broke down. No worries it's under warranty right? Wrong. Bosch only have enough faith in their products to offer you 2 years warranty so I'm now expected to shell out over $150 + parts to fix their dodgy workmanship (E-14 Error - Water Protection System). For some reason I thought a dishwasher should at least work for 5-6 years, silly me.

    It's Time to stop washing Dishers
    I Love that I can start the dishwasher with a delay and can see what time it will finish. I time the wash to use off peak power and finish the wash just before I wake in the morning. Yes there is a little water on the bottom of the upside down cups but this is normal for the cycle I use. (Super wash) I use a Classic Finish powder then add Bicarb and Salt (1 Tablespoon of Finish, 1 teaspoon Bicarb, 1 teaspoon of salt) The results are fantastic and there is absolutely no residue left on any dishers or glasses plus at 8 cents a load it's a no brainer. I don't use rinse aid, it's just not necessary (tried it and don't like it) The cutlery Tray and also included basket is great because you choose what is best for you. The rack system is the best because it is so versatile, fits absolutely Everything. A quick 30 min or semi quick 60 min wash is also available. The interior light I love, just makes it easier to see things. It's very quiet and can only hear the water draining sometimes when at the sink. I purchased this dishwasher because washing dishes after spinal surgery just wasn't an option and now I wonder why I didn't get one years ago. It's Time to stop washing dishes, go and get yourself this fantastic dishwasher.

    Amazing!
    When choosing a dishwasher we wanted one that all our plates, cutlery & kitchen utensils would fit. This was the one. From the amazing cutlery tray which leaves cutlery clean and sparkling to the two racks which fit all different size plates and dishes. The eight program features are amazing for different items and the dishwasher is extremely quiet so can be put on at any time of the day.
