A dishwasher is what every woman dreams of. If you are not only dreaming, but have already decided to buy equipment, it is important to make the right choice. For a family that loves to cook and host guests, the full-size Bosch 60 cm dishwasher models are perfect. The main thing is to decide where the appliances will be installed: you will find both built-in and freestanding.
Bosch dishwasher features
Dishwashers from Bosch are in high demand both in Germany and in Russia. This is not surprising, because the German manufacturer has long convinced the user of the quality of the assembly, the duration of the operation of the equipment. However, even if you choose among Bosch dishwashers, the number of models on the market causes confusion – which one is better to choose?
We will tell you what criteria you should pay attention to when buying:
- Washing and drying class. You can determine this by the stickers on the PMM case. The highest class is A, below are B and C. Since the machine is bought for washing dishes (you don’t want to wash appliances later), choose only equipment with class A. Also pay attention to customer reviews. The parameters specified in the instructions are not always true.
- Thrift. Also an important factor. You will use the equipment every day, and even several times a day. Therefore, look at the energy consumption class (highest – A), water consumption.
- Reliability of materials and operation. See what the body is made of, internal elements, baskets. Ideally, all parts should be made of stainless steel, which is not afraid of high temperatures and chemical influences. Is there leakage protection? What about the child lock? This is important for safe use.
- Price. Everyone has their own budget. Not always a high price is a guarantee of quality.
- Functionality. Decide which programs are important to you, whether additional functions are needed.
What additional features might be useful
By studying the reviews on the forums, we came to the conclusion that some users experience inconvenience in the absence of such functionality:
- Salt and rinse aid indicator. It becomes inconvenient to use the machine when you do not know how much money you need to add.
- Delay start timer. The start of work can be set at any time.
- Compartment for modern washing tablets 3 in 1. For washing, you need to put only 1 tablet and nothing more.
- Signal after the end of the cycle or light indication (beam on the floor).
Little things matter too. Despite the variety of programs, there may be no sound signal in the equipment. Then how do you know when the wash is over? Constantly walking and checking is not very convenient. Therefore, study the functionality of the dishwasher before buying.
Advantages and disadvantages
Standard 60 cm Bosch dishwashers are very popular among users. Why? Here are a number of undeniable advantages of free-standing PMM:
- Spaciousness. At one time you can wash from 14 to 17 sets of dishes. The VarioDrawer technology makes it possible to rearrange the baskets, which allows you to place pots, pans, baking sheets.
- Due to the sufficient space, the plates are normally placed, so they are well washed.
- Full-sized dishwashers have become more economical. No dirty dishes for a full load? Turn on the “Half Load” mode and save resources.
Among the shortcomings can be identified the dimensions of the case. Although, if you are counting on a full-size model, this minus is subjective.

Before presenting the rating, we will tell you what Bosch dishwashers are according to the type of installation:

Noise characteristics vary from 52 to 48 dB, which allows you to run a wash cycle at night without any problems.
All dishwashers have the following programs and functions:
- 4 basic washing programs, among which you will find the “Delicate” mode for fragile glassware and porcelain, the “Intensive” mode for heavily soiled dishes. In the SMV47L10RU model, the “Hygiene” function is implemented, when high-temperature water is supplied to the dishes during rinsing.
