It is difficult to imagine modern life without technology. Refrigerator, microwave, washing machine – all this makes our life easier, saves time and effort. The same applies to the dishwasher. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford this technique, and not so much because of the high price, but because of the impressive dimensions. But there is always a way out – take a closer look at the Bosch 45 cm dishwasher. In this PMM category, today you can find both built-in and freestanding options. Such a machine will not take up much space in the kitchen and will be a great helper.
What are the features of such dishwashers, what are the criteria for their selection and the rating of the most popular models, we will consider in this publication.
What characteristics of Bosch dishwashers 45 cm to pay attention to
If you go to the store for the first model that comes across, you can simply waste your finances. A dishwasher should not only fit into the interior of the kitchen, but also meet your needs and expectations. Before you start choosing a suitable narrow dishwasher, you should determine for yourself the main parameters that you should pay attention to in the first place.
When choosing a 45 cm Bosch dishwasher, experts recommend relying on the following characteristics:
- overall parameters;
- features and connection diagram;
- the possibility of embedding in the kitchen set or under the sink;
- type of baskets for dishes, their location and the possibility of regulation;
- washing quality;
- functionality, list of washing modes and temperatures;
- drying, its configuration and features;
- savings on water and electricity consumption.
Let’s take a closer look at the above points.
dimensions
This characteristic requires consideration if you have a small kitchen. In this case, the built-in 45 cm machine from the Bosch brand is an excellent choice. Of course, it should be borne in mind that a narrower machine has less capacity, but you can find advantages in this:
- no need to wait until a large amount of dirty dishes is collected;
- economy in resource consumption;
- the performance of a small-sized PMM is enough for a small family of 2-4 people.
connection
This characteristic is closely related to the energy consumption of the dishwasher. If the model provides for a connection to hot water, then there is much less load on the heating element, and electricity will be consumed to a minimum. The reverse side of the “medal” is that water consumption will increase, and with today’s billing, savings are a big question.
Important! Experts are sure that the most optimal connection of the PMM is to a cold water pipe. This will save machine parts vulnerable to scale and limescale for a long time. In addition, cold water provides a better washing quality.
Embeddability
Users especially appreciate Bosch dishwashers, which can be built under the sink or in the kitchen set – in this case, the discreet design of the equipment will not spoil even the most sophisticated interior.
basket
In a 45-centimeter Bosch dishwasher, the baskets should be as convenient as possible, so that with small parameters of the machine you have the opportunity to wash any type of dishes – from glasses to baking sheets. It’s good if the chosen model includes containers for cutlery, special holders for glasses, departments for small kitchen utensils, etc. The more functional the containers, the better. The preferred material is steel over plastic.
Wash quality
Typically, the Bosch manufacturer produces machines with the highest washing class. But just in case, pay attention to the information sticker on the case, where the quality will be marked in Latin letters.
So, the highest grades are A or A+. The worst quality indicators for washing dishes are D, E. Class B and C machines wash dishes at an average level, but it’s better to pay a little extra and choose the highest class, because the machine should wash dishes, and not just pour water over them – this is its main purpose.
Programs and modes
Most Bosch 45 cm machines are equipped with full functionality. Nevertheless, when choosing, pay attention to the presence of such modes:
- Basic. This mode can have many names, but its essence is washing under hot 50-60-degree water for a couple of hours.
- “Super Mode”. The meaning of such washing is to pour very hot water on the dishes for 1,5 hours.
- “Soak”, “Pre-wash”, “Soak” – this mode is suitable for dried dishes.
- “Fast”. Suitable for not very dirty dishes. Washing lasts 30-40 minutes.
The basic modes will be quite enough for normal washing of any dishes. But Bosch manufacturers went further and began to equip some of their models with 10-15 modes. Not the fact that you will use all the features. Therefore, if you see that the price is too high compared to a similar model with a smaller set of modes, think carefully before buying.
Drying
Even narrow models of 45 cm can fully dry dishes. This can be natural drying, when water simply drains from the dishes in a certain time. Or the machine can be equipped with convection fans that dry dishes quickly, while using more energy than conventional models.
Despite the inefficiency, turbo-drying models are in enviable demand among buyers.
Saving water and electricity
To find out the degree of efficiency of the machine, it is worth correlating this parameter with the number of programs. For example, if the PMM design provides for forced drying, then in terms of energy efficiency, such a model will be inferior to others. The same goes for capacity – the more sets of dishes a dishwasher can wash, the more water it will need to do this.
Important! Many models of Bosch dishwashers have innovative sprinklers that manage to save water by a third of the standard consumption without losing the quality of washing.

Model: Bosch SPV40E30RU
Alina, Divnomorsk
It is worth praising this machine for its excellent laundering of fat from any dishes. For 4 years of operation, not a single breakdown, so even the instructions were never needed. There is a problem: one basket broke, now I don’t know where to buy a new one. Sufficiently quiet operation, fast drying, completely satisfied with the chosen model.

Sergey, St. Petersburg
Bachelor life is rich and interesting. There was no time to wash dishes. When I moved into a new apartment, I bought a dishwasher. I chose the latest model, I was immediately oriented to the German manufacturer. I didn’t regret it. And I was not even too lazy to write a review after 2 years of use, because the equipment still works like new. After noisy parties, plates, glasses, glasses, forks and spoons shine like new. Nothing has ever broken in any cycle, there have been no leaks or other excesses. Completely satisfied, I advise everyone.
As you can see, all Bosch PMM models are of high quality and are in demand. The only problem that may arise is the search for components. Although with careful use, this problem will “disappear”. We wish you a balanced and correct choice.
