We had a Bosch dishwasher for 10 years and replaced it with a John Lewis one because we wanted a stainless steel finish. Big mistake! The JL one is made by AEG and never performed as well as the Bosch. It died after 7 years.
We have replaced with the SMS65E12GB. What a difference! The control panel is simplicity itself to use, plus it remembers the last program you used. It counts down until the finish and then switches off a minute later.
There are a load of options for packing. The top tray has three height settings, or it can be removed easily and a sprayer fitted at the back, for really tall loads. We have not needed to do this yet as the high setting of the top shelf clears most things. Only really large baking trays might need this.
The manual is generally clear, but setting water hardness and rinse-aid are not obvious, and could have been made clearer with more pictures. There are extra online manuals on the Bosch web site. Just input SMS65E12GB. The supplement on packing is useful. Installation is simple, and I did that single-handed.
The water consumption on this machine is unbelievably low, considering how good the results are. The Economy wash only uses 6.5l! If your water is metered, this could be a major consideration. Power use is 0.92kWh per wash and standby is an impressive 0.1W, or about 10p a year.
Edit: We have had it about 6 months now and the results have been superb. It is so easy to pack, it's quiet and we love it!
Highly recommended!
