It’s ideal for open plan living, as it only registers at 44dB in volume. You’ll barely hear it working away, and thanks to its ecoSilence drive, it’s one of the quietest dishwashers around. You’re getting Economy wash to reduce your wash costs, as well as an Intensive wash for your large roasting trays and casserole dishes. There’s even a special glass rack and varioDrawer for your cutlery to ensure everything gets a good clean.

Fantastic quality as usual from Bosch, this model is a great investment.

You’ll get 9 lots of plates, bowls, glasses and cutlery inside the 45cm wide model, which is brilliant if you want to save on floor space in your kitchen. For saving time as well, you’re getting a 30 minute Quick Wash. It’ll clean a full 9 place setting load fast, though if you’ve got a really stubborn, baked on casserole dish, use the Intensive setting instead. It uses 70°C water to cut right through grease, so you won’t have to scrub it clean yourself.

It even has a handy half load function. The machine will automatically detect how much you've put inside, and will adjust the time accordingly - saving you the job.

There’s also a Delay Timer which lets you organise your dishwashing around your day. Pop the dishes from the night before in, set it to later on and you’ll have clean plates and glasses when you get home at night – no more washing up before you even start cooking.
