      What's your point?

      Plastic and water go together better than steel and water..

      I have this dishwasher and have been using it for over a month now. It's really good. Very well designed inside so things fit wel and just make sense (unlike some dishwashers I've used).

      We had a similar white model at work (with a plastic bottom) and it lasted around 7 years after being on 3 times a day every week day (fully loaded). The plastic bottom had nothing to do with it failing.

      This dishwasher was also rated number 1 at its price point by Choice.

      As for the location of the factory it's made in, suggesting it's any worse than one made in Germany is irrational BS.

        It's just information on telling them apart in store. The RRP is the other tell tale.

        Plastic and water go together better than steel and water.

        The plastic base gets destroyed by the alkaline in the dishwashing tablets. After about 5 years it start to crack.

        Source: had one, chucked it, never buying a plastic base dishwasher again. Only a stainless steel base will do.

      Stainless Floor Bosch units come out of two different Factories, the more expensive ones are German made (normally labeled on the front of the unit "Made in Germany") the others are Made in Spain.

      The Spanish models are implied to last longer than the Turkish and then the same is implied again for the German models.

      Regardless a Brand, most people will find Bosch units overall, quieter than most units in the same or similar price point. Bosch also hands options on almost every model that make them very effective on speed of a good wash cycle as well as loading options for a "Half Load" on most models. Making Bosch a great choice at almost any price point.

    Have had this dishwasher for 4 months now. No issues. You can practically stack the dishes with very little space and they'll still get clean.

    Might be worth getting Appliances Online to price match as they'll deliver for free and take away your old machine. Installation is very easy.

  • subydooby on 20/04/2017 - 14:04

    My 15 year old Bosch dishwasher needs a new filter ($55) and could do with a new cutlery holder $30. Who knows how long it has. Should I just buy another one? Seems a bit of a waste but I would kick myself if it had an expensive failure after I bought a new filter.

    • CaptainTerific on 20/04/2017 - 14:26

      Most dishwasher will range in height between 815mm - 820mm at their lowest (freestanding jumps to 845mm - 850mm with lid on, which is removable for an underbench installation). Width is pretty much standard at 1 or 2mm shy of 600mm. Depth does vary with unit depending on lid still being on, but units are normally pretty squard of between 580mm and 600mm (not taking it to consideration the curved handle that is on some models eg. Bosch, Dishlex etc

    I have never had a dishwasher before. How do we install this one? Do i need to hire a plumber to do it? Thanks

    • mr626 on 20/04/2017 - 15:08

      It isn't hard to DIY, but I think technically you are meant to get a plumber.

      Check under your kitchen sink and see what is already there. At a minimum you need:

      -Somewhere to connect the water inlet hose for the dishwasher. Dishwasher inlet hoses are normally identical to washing machine hoses. Under my kitchen sink for example where the hot and cold water pipes come in at the wall there is a T junction on the hot water pipe that allows a 'washing machine tap' to be installed. Something like this: https://www.reece.com.au/bathrooms/products/laundry/laundry-…

      -Somewhere to connect the dishwasher drainage hose. Under my sink, the PVC piping has a small ribbed connection for the drainage hose, like this one: https://www.bunnings.com.au/caroma-50mm-white-combination-s-…

      -A powerpoint to plug the dishwasher in to power (duh)

      -Physical space for the dishwasher to fit

      If you have all the above (or you are confident that you can install what you don't have yourself) you should be fine. I've replaced a couple of dishwashers over the years, but in both cases all the required fittings were already there.

      Edit: probably should put a dish-claimer (sorry) here- if you DIY and something goes badly wrong then you will probably have issues with your insurance company knocking back claims etc. If in doubt, just pay a professional to do it- much safer than taking advice from randoms on the internet ;-)

      • fritzsticker on 21/04/2017 - 22:46

        Does the water inlet hose need a teflon tape around it? I never placed teflon on my washing machine taps…

      Do i need to hire a plumber to do it? Thanks

      Maybe not. But if you're not handy, don't try it yourself. There are heaps of ways to get it wrong.

      • waste pipe needs to have its highest point above the sink's drain hole, so many people get this wrong.
      • waste pipe needs to attach to the drain before the u-bend.
      • water supply needs to tap-off the cold outlet… changing a tap needs a plumber, so if you don't already have one, can't do it yourself.
      • attaching the water supply might need plumbers tape, a plumbers wrench, and knowing how to fit a brass fitting to a brass tap without damaging the tap
      • electrical point only an electrician can install, and because it's near water is very dangerous if done incorrectly

      If any of that didn't make sense, don't try doing it yourself, hire a plumber.

      • mr626 on 20/04/2017 - 15:39

        The waste pipe tips are good- if you don't install it as noted here you can potentially get waste water from the kitchen sink back-flowing into the dishwasher.

        And agreed 100% about the electrical point- don't DIY this.

        Re water supply- generally you do want if off the cold tap (if I was doing a new install this would be my preference). In our house it was off the hot tap, and this is okay for us as our current dishwasher is able to have the water supply from the hot or cold (confirmed by the manufacturer). However, when I was shopping around for a dishwasher I noticed that most of the main brands / models stated that the supply should be cold water only.

  • aurotaro on 20/04/2017 - 15:47

    Have it. Recommend it. Only downside is no Timer display to show minutes left, but other than… works perfectly fine. Have had it for 8 months odd now.

    Got an appliance installer to do it and he charged me $160 (with invoice) in Sydney which I thought was pretty good value (pm me for details). Took him about an hr or so as he had to trim the wood from the sides, un-install the previous dishwasher and dispose the old one.

    I'd definitely use an installer if you don't know what you're doing.

    For anyone wondering this dishwasher will cost you more in the long run.

    Having a plastic tub is cheaper for the manufacturer however it is not as efficient when it comes to heating and drying the dishes, it will use "roughly" 200w more per cycle. The cycle has to be at a lower temperature for longer to get the same cleaning results, plastic does not retain heat as well and also makes the drying process longer, if your dishwasher is connected to a hot water connection you run the risk of the plastic cracking earlier than it will in the long term.

    The plastic tubs also allow a lot more noise than the stainless tub.

    Just the facts not dissing the deal.

      Thanks bra, ill skip it then

  • alexme on 20/04/2017 - 18:38

    I have this and have issues intermittently.

    1. It goes through stages where you'll turn it on and it will just shut off randomly. You might do this 10 times in a few days and then it will work for weeks without issue.

    2. It constantly complains about no water or not being able to clear the drain, even though it does clear the drain. Weird.

    Not saying you shouldn't buy it but it's not perfect :)

    • noz on 21/04/2017 - 06:05

  • fishybone on 22/04/2017 - 08:34

    Bought on Thursday (AO price match), delivered yesterday to Melbourne and I installed it in under an hour (hardest part was enlarging the existing holes as the anti flood valve is quite large - rectangular cross section ~7x10cm).

    To remove the top, there are two white plastic on the front just under the lid. Use a flathead screwdriver to push the tab in while lifting the top and repeat for the other side.

    Question though: how do people secure these under the kitchen bench? There aren't any screw holes I could find.

    • nwa on 22/04/2017 - 08:38

      Done the same, was hesitant of the plastic base thing at first then checked my other brand dishwasher and same thing, so maybe common. You shouldn't need to secure a dishwasher, like a fridge. AO good if you want to pay by amex.

      • fishybone on 22/04/2017 - 08:46

        It's too light! Every time I open the door, the dishwasher alters forward towards me. The dishwasher I replaced was screwed into the underside of the counter but the Bosch doesn't seem to have screw holes.

        • nwa on 22/04/2017 - 08:58

          Probably need either or combo of 2 things not to move which i have with existing setup that is tight space all sides of unit and soft open doors. Im guessing main culprit is top space, need a panel or other diy fixing there.
