Which dishwasher to choose – “Bosch” or “Siemens”? Both brands are widely popular in the Russian market, have a decent reputation and are in demand. But which models are better, how they differ, what advantages do they have? Read more in our article.
Pros and cons of dishwashers
If we talk about common advantages, then both brands are distinguished by German reliability and quality. Both Bosch and Siemens are constantly introducing new technologies and features to dishwashers. So that the consumer is as comfortable as possible to use the equipment.
PMM Bosch belong to different price segments, you can choose a budget or more expensive model. Whereas Siemens machines belong to the premium class segment.
Both brands represent built-in, freestanding and compact models. A variety of external design allows you to choose equipment for any interior. Pro installation of dishwashers you can read our article.
To choose the best manufacturer, we recommend comparing the technical specifications of dishwashers. Things to consider:
- The number of sets of dishes that can be washed at one time.
- Water and electricity consumption (classes).
- Noise characteristics.
- The presence of technologies, functions, programs.
- Protection levels.
When choosing, pay attention to ease of use – how clear the control panel is.
Which is better: Bosch or Siemens
Let’s compare the main criteria that influence the choice of the buyer.
Roominess
Full-size models of both brands can accommodate from 6 to 15 sets of dishes. Compact PMM 45 cm wide will wash from 6 to 8 sets at a time. Features are similar.
Resource consumption
Bosch and Siemens corporations are constantly working to improve the energy efficiency of their equipment. Classes A, B, C and so on speak about it. Classes are indicated on the stickers that are located on the dishwasher body.
Power and energy consumption are about the same. Full-sized machines consume from 0,8 to 1 kW per hour. Narrow built-in models are somewhat smaller – from 0,7 to 0,83 kW per hour. The most economical are compact PMM – 0,6-0,7 kW.
The water consumption of both brands is also similar, although there are differences:
- Bosch narrow dishwashers use from 6 to 13 liters, and Siemens from 7 to 13;
- Siemens full-size appliances are more economical – from 6 to 14 liters, while Bosch is from 9 to 14.
Noise characteristics
Here the indicators are also not too different: Bosch – 41-54 dB, Siemens – 41-52 dB. These are excellent characteristics, since appliances with a noise of 45 dB are already considered quiet, which is especially true for families with children.
Protection
All dishwashers received full or partial protection – it is better to compare individual models. Some have a child lock. The five-stage system “Aquastop” reliably protects against emergencies.
Useful programs and functions
Both brands have 5-6 basic programs, which include the following types of washing:
- Fast. Need to cut down on dishwashing time? Then set this mode for 30 minutes.
- Economical. Reduced consumption of energy and water resources.
- Intensive. Cleans heavily soiled appliances.
- Delicate. Suitable for crockery made of fragile materials.
The amount of additional functionality also affects the usability of the equipment. However, it should be borne in mind that the more new technologies are used, the more expensive the cost of the dishwasher. The cars of the brands in question can boast of the following technologies:
- Shine And Dry. Drying new generation. Under the PMM tray there is a mineral that heats up under the influence of moisture and warms the air. The technology does not require electricity.
- HygienePlus. Disinfection of devices with hot steam.
- VarioSpeed Plus. By consuming more energy, the machine speeds up the washing cycle.
After studying the opinions of consumers, we came to the conclusion that Bosch and Siemens dishwashers have both positive and negative reviews. Many factors influence the effectiveness of washing: the correct arrangement of dishes in the baskets, the detergent, the selected program.
