Bosch SRS-55C02GB Reviews: Freestanding, 60cm wide, White Dishwasher

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Leaves everything quite wet

+ Simple design, quiet cycle, good cleaning perofrmance

- Lack of child lock

+ Has proved to be a good buy, easy to use.

- None

+ The 70degree wash is great at actually getting off proper cooking residue. I am impressed with this. I haven't yet been disappointed with what it has cleaned. It does seem to dry the dishes better than our last machine as well, which is great.

- 'Clunky' door. It sounds solid though, which is good, but the last Bosch slimline we had (Excel, I think) had a much smoother door mechanism.
That is a very small point though. I can't think of any other bad points about it !

+ Small compact dishwasher that fits nicely into our small kitchen. Holds a decent amount of crockery and cutlery - there are 4 of us in the house and it copes with all the dirty plates etc we give it! Plenty of wash cycles to choose from, digital display to tell you how long to go until the cycle finishes, and to indicate when it needs refilling with salt or dishwasher rinse aid.

- Salt dispenser can be a bit difficult to open at times.

+ washes extremely well, good looking machine, does what it promises.

- top tray not easy to load.

+ good wash

- have had to fill up salt twice

+ Good all round dishwasher - easy to use; good selection of cycles - the half hour one is very convenient. Does what it says on the tin!

- The racks are poorly designed and don't allow for an efficient load. You have to work yourself round the fixed shelves, and the base of both upper and lower racks are angled strangely, not allowing for cups to be placed without water pooling at the end of the cycle. The cutlery container doesn't fit anywhere without it compromising the use of the plate section.

+ Easy to use.Use of a half load if required.Compact but you can fit alot in it.Quite quiet. Quick wash is only 30 mins and good if dishes are not greasy

- Would not be big enough for a family

+ Stylish looking. Easy to load and washes quite well although some pans need second wash if particularly dirty. Delayed wash cycle timer is excellent.

- Wash cycles are too long taking an average of two hours on normal cleaning. I can do alot of washing up in two hours!!!

+ I am really impressed with the choice of Wash cycles and the quietness of the machine itself when it is operating - I really had to stop to listen carefully to see whether it was actually on or not!

- I did not like the Finish tablets that were with the machine - fancied that they left a "taste " on the crockery - but that is not the machine itself is it?

+ Easy to use, not particularly noisy

- Could do with shorter wash cycles, there is a 'Eco' which is about 33 minutes - but that's not quite enough, compared to 1hr 55 which is too much !!!! But overall great machine...Recommend

+ I really like the fact that my dishes come out clean after the 30min cycle. Thus using a lot less electricity so good for the environment and well as dishes done quicker!

+ Excellent product, quite and has cleaned everything I've put in brilliantly. Glasses come out really well.

- Nothing bad stands out.

and the size of the machine fits lovely in the space i have.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ good cleaning results and optional loading space

- felt it needed an intermediate program of about 60 mins

+ Clean looking exterior.

- Loading tray separation is small, difficult to stand shallow dishes.
Cycle times seem to be long.

+ Cleaning efficiency. Ease of use. Noise.

- Loading top basket.

+ Neat, reliable and good at cleaning dishes.

- The middling cycle - for general washing - seems to take 148 minutes, which does seem rather long. Still the quick wash is perfectly good for most things and only takes 25 minutes.

+ Good size, cleans well, is fairly quiet

- Much more flimsy than previous model. Programmes take nuch longer than previous model. Salt filler difficult to get at and refill.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- The only bad point I can think of is that the drying of the crockery is not up to a high standard

+ Excellent cleaning. The eco cycle is rather long but you can switch it off when it gets to drying time which saves around 55 minutes of electricity

- A bit cramped for loading compared to my old slimline, however, this is far outweighed by it's good points

+ Quiet, cleans pots ok.

- doesn't dry items very well.

+ Slim, good looking, sturdy, easy to install, efficient.

- Installation instructions could be clearer.

+ Fits large plates, strong, quiet - holds much more than previous dishawasher

- The pump got clogged after a few months, but the instruction book showed how to fix it.

+ Ideal size for our household. The quick wash lasts for 30 minutes, which is great for items that aren't too soiled.It was ment to have half-load function, but no mention of this in booklet or on the machine. ( unless of course that is the quick wash function) Easy to use, and the delayed timer is great. Overall a nice little dishwasher.

- When using the quick wash, items not completly dry. But It doesn't deter us from using this program.

+ Quick was at 30mins is excellant and great for every day dishes.

- For a more intensive wash it takes nearly 2 hours which I feel is too long.

+ overall good product

- Cuttlery holder lightweight and poor design. Compartments too small for basic kitchen knives to be placed blade down.

+ Top of the range, the best dishwasher we've had. Great wash cycles, low noice and does better then any other dishwasher we've had even on the short cycle's (which we use alot). I bit more expensive then our other dishwasher but this is quality and you have to pay a little more for that.

- None

+ Easy to install. Very quiet in operation. Good range of programs, the quick wash is exactly that and to a very good standard of cleaning. Delay timer useful.

- Cutlery basket doesn't seem to belong anywhere and can fall over. Top rack can be fiddly to load with the knife rack/cup rack in place.

+ Small, neat - didn't have to do too much rearranging kitchen to fit it in - does the job mostly

- Some things are not properly dry at end of cycle
Cutlery holder not very flexible

+ Good value-for-money dishwasher, excellent build quality (German !! ) and very, very quite. Considering this is a compact machine it also takes a reasonable sized load. No half-load option but we knew this so not a surprise. Cleaning quality is very good, even on a uick wash.I would Recommend this machine.

- None so far

+ Quiet and reasonably efficient. The economy 30-minute wash feature is useful.

- Loading. Fitting pots, pans, and trays safely into the wire racks is time consuming.

+ Very quiet,compact unit.

- Normal wash cycle is a bit long.

+ Small size only 45cm width but can take a good volume

- Reviewer left no comment

+ very simple to use, controls very straight forward and good results everytime

- choice of washes - go from 30 minutes to 142 minutes and feels like there should be something in between.

+ There is room up the top where the cups go for wine glasses and bowls if you don't have many glasses/cups to go in.

- The part in the door when you open the dishwasher and put the tablet opens with a slide and feels a bit flimsey, but hasn't broken yet, so sure it is fine.

+ E.xcellent product, my previous dishwasher was Bosch which was in excellent working order after 12 years but the handle came off so was no longer useable .

- Not so easy to load as previous one, much more restrictive, find I have to use more often!

+ able to set for time hours ahead

- left hand rack unable to lift up so I took it off

+ Excellant Dish washer shame I did not have room for the full size version. Would highly recommend this product to everyone. I have always been impressed with Bosch and this is no exception.

- Only problem I had was the short water hose but that is not a real issue

+ very quiet, hardly noticed it working. very compact. very efficient. 1st dishwasher ive brought + money well spent. very recommendable

- slight gripe is cycle times, but all else fine.

+ Ideal for small kitchens and young professionals / small families.
A very quiet and efficient appliance.

- The washing cycles are quite long, the normal cycle being over 130 minutes long.

+ Great performance and much quieter than my previous dishwasher. I am really impressed with Bosch and will now consider them when replacing future appliances.

- None whatsoever

+ works well, easy to understand programs, bosch reliability. Easy to clean.

- Not as good looking as our old bosch, another short wash program would have been useful, you can have a 26 minute wash or a very, very long wash. We only use the quick wash as it cleans well and must be eco friendly as it is so fast.

+ Setup was simple; good wash and speedy.

- The additional small plastic clip on 'selves'.
We removed the plastic lid on the utencils tray - you couldn't load up the tray with lid closed, and if you left it open to load it, you couldn't close it afterwards.

+ Stylish and simple to use.

- The noise is higher than I expected from The Which? reviews. Noisier than the washing machine but once at the other side of the house I can't hear it.

+ Quiet. Quick wash facility although when washed dishes can be wet.

- Knife rack a bit fiddly.
Door spring is strong and door can snap back rather quickly.

+ the short wash is quick and efficient. This dishwasher is very quiet compared to my last Bosch one and I really like the glass holder so they dont all fall over half way through the cycle!

- Why oh why do the slimline dishwashers have to be more expensive than a full size one?

+ Quiet; Great to have delayed start;

- Main wash very long - could do with an extra one between the quick & normal.
Economy wash seems to go on forever!

+ I like the timing settings to use the dishwasher during times when electricity is cheaper

- The amount of time on the wash cycles

+ Neat and compact, it is not obtrusive in the kitchen.The quick wash is adequate for general washing of everyday dishes.

- Have not found any yet!

+ feels like a much better product when placed next to a hotpoint.indesit or whatever

- the internal racks could be laid out a little better - bowls tend to rest on top of each other

+ Quick wash is very good comes out brilliant. Has many options depending on type of dishes and how dirty they are. Is very quite wood recommend.

- There isnt many, had trouble getting to put the salt in slightly akward but nothing most other dishwashers dont have.

+ Looks neat, is efficient

- None that I have found

+ 1 It fitted the gap the integral dishwasher was in.
2 Tend to be able to get get 'taller' plates in the lower cage without hitting the sprinkler

- 1 Low, it is uncomfortable to load but see good point 2

+ Even the quick wash does a great job on most items.

- None

+ Excellent qiuick wash, it cleans better than a hand wash and everything can be put away in next to no time.

- Too many cycle choices, two would be quite suffient.

+ This is our second Bosch dishwasher. We were pleased with that one and had no maintenance problems in the 10 years we had it.

- The bottom tray does not easily take breakfast cereal dishes, the wires are just too near together.

+ Fits the space we had available. Is very quiet. Has sufficient choice of cycle to meet all our needs.

- None.

+ Love the short cycle, had a Bosch previously and loved it, 9 years trouble free service. would not have considered another product!

- door mechanism is a bit clunky compared to my previous dishwasher. other than this all good!

+ compact - really quiet - quick wash 30mins - delay timer -

- doesnt make a cup of tea =[

+ New tray design for cutlery

- Length of wash cycles

+ low noise, ease of plumbing.

- Wash cycle times seem rather long otherwise it seems OK.

+ Just marvellous - changed my life

- None

+ VERY GOOD VALUE FOR THE PRICE WE PAID.IT IS A GOOD ALLROUND PRODUCT.

+ easy to use good preformance

- N/A

+ Good cleaning and easy to load

- Programmes average 2.5 hours rather long

+ Extremely quiet, we weren't sure it was running at first! Cleans well compared to our previous machine.

- Is a bit difficult to get large items, pots & pans etc in the machine. Usually have to wash the large items by hand, or you'd be running the dishwasher with only a couple of items in it.

+ DElighted with this product.Had previous washer for several years and I am particularly impressed by low level of wash noise and cleaning performance

- None yet.

+ Excellent short cycle--in 28 min everything is clean! It's almost the only one I use, and it works perfectly for me. Only very sticky pans may need a longer cycle.

- Loading could be easier - cutlery basket holes a little on the small side

+ its small and queit with the "Bosch" reputation. just rightfor the 2 of us.

- quite difficult to load the extra plastic rack is in the way of cups.the cutlary box is not easy to place either. the old style box was much better.

+ It's cleans really well and you can fit lots in.

- None

+ Being slimline, it fits into a small space but has the functionality of a larger machine. Great being able to delay the start time of a wash cycle.

- No small/half load option.
