Bosch SGV53E33GB

We have had this dishwasher for over two and a half years now and it has proven to be a reliable work horse that gets plenty of use, even more so in the last 12 months after another hungry mouth to feed joined the myself and my other half. At the time of purchase I can remember spending over £300 on this dishwasher from Bosch but I cannot remember the exact amount, it was certainly not the cheapest in the shop (Curry's I think) but it was in the mid range when it came to price and certainly within our budget.

I cannot fault the cleaning quality and also it is not overly noisy compared with a previous dishwasher that we owned. It has tackled and defeated some pretty stubborn food stains in its time and I certainly cannot fault the cleaning of dishes and pans and it is good also with glasses. One of the things I find really easy is when it comes to loading the dishwasher. This is aided by the fact that the plate racks on the bottom shelf can fold down so if you are storing large pans you do not have to wedge them in. This also helps protect the plate support from becomming distorted and bent by heavy items and when you want to stack plates they fold up easily and securily to allow you to stack them safely.

The dishwasher comes with an A efficiency rating so it is economical to use especially when it is fully loaded. It can handle a 12 place setting load which is plenty big enough for our family and there is a seperate cutlery container and lots of space on the upper shelf for cups and glasses as well as small plates and bowls.

Style wise it looks great, ours is white with a stainless steel interior, a black control panel and a nice solid steel handle that is easy to grip to open the washer. It has five wash cycles, everything from an eco programme to an intense stain removal one, I have found that the standard daily setting is perfectly good enough however I have used the intense one a couple of times and you do notice a difference when it comes to pans that have heavy food marks or grease on them.

It has an anti flood safety device fitted although thankfully I have never had to see this in action as it has worked faultlessly for me over the time we have had it, also it is pretty easy to keep cleana nd very easy to operate. Overall a great purchase from a brand that you can rely upon.
