The most usefull item in the kitchen, the Dishwasher, has just died. Nearly ten years old, doesn't really owe me anything, and it doesn't match the new kitchen anyway!

Looking at a replacement, and have always wanted to get away from the Hoover / Hotpoint mediocrity. However, cashflow a bit of an issue at the mo, so I had given up on Bosch / Miele sort of kit. Until I found this.

I have to say, 250 quid seems a stonking deal for Bosch, and I have always thought that if it looks too good to be true, it generally is.

Has anyone any experience of Bosch dishwashers? Are they just old Candy crap rebadged? Or do I hymie down to the retail park on the morrow?

I've got a Bosch slimline dishwasher that wasn't much more than that one, still works great after a heavy two years.

Bosch every time. thumbup

This has to be the gayest topic ever discussed on PH.

German is good, but not as good as it was 25 years ago - I was recently informed that if my 30 y/o Neff fridge/freezer expired, the guys I called out would likely insist on a repair as it would last longer than a replacement!


That said, I have a two year old Bosch Classix range dishwasher (similar price and spec to the one you are considering). It works fine, though it is too early to say how long it will last.

I think ours is a Bosch and it's been great, only 18 months old though.

Dishwashers aren't gay - how can something that gives you more time for car tinkering be gay? hehe

IMHO Bosch every time for dishwashers, our first one lasted around 20 years, our second is still going strong after around 5 years.
