Buyed it from reliance digital ( i am not a seller or his relative who is writing for marketing ), but would really like to write a review as i love this machine. First i thought about India and dishwasher = never gonna work out. ( you need to resin in to water then why not just wash it even or maid is cheaper ) All these stuff came to my Mind. But then i thought lets buy it will see what will happen.And that was the very right decision !!! Got the machine, ( it took a while to get the installation done almost 5 days, hate this part ) And then it all started going well :)It cleans cooker, kadai, milk stains and almost everything like a miracle !!!! ( I bet no maid can clean it like this machine does it )Few things came to my mind while buying this machine so thought to share it with you ( might help you ) :1. Power bill : Well i generally use it twice a day on quick mode ( on quick mode it doesn't dry the utensils. but do save a lot of power ) Total power consumption is half unit per wash so twice a day is 1 unit which is approx Rs 7/- per dayAt times i even use ECO mode and intensive mode as well.On Eco mode it consume approx 1.2 unit a washand ON intensive it consume approx 2 units a wash( haven't used any other mode )2. Detergent Cost : there are 3 options available ( as far i know ) starting from the most expensive Finish follow up by IFB and then fortuneOne wash required detergent = 15 gram ( if utensils are more then 20 gram )rise aid ( or so called polish ) = 10 ml gives approx 8-12 washsalt = 1 kg for 40 - 80 wash ( my society has hard water level 4 ) ( no salt is required for soft water as they suggest but i think salt is playing a bigger role in washing so according to me shudn't be true )so on an average its costing me approx 900 bucks a month including power bill and detergent and stuff. In which i do 60 quick wash and 7 ECO wash and hardly 1 or 2 intensive wash.BTW my maid charges around 1000/- out of which she needs 2 leaves a month, at times doesn't turn around for evening wash. Plus washing just can not be compare with this machine.So, even if i did have to spend 1400 a month on this i wouldn't definitely have not minded it at all.Any ways that's all i really wanted to say in this review, ( this is my very first detailed review on amazon, so do like it if you find my review helpful as this will motivate me to write more in future ) :)Thanks

Machine Experience - Very happy overall with the machine's performance.Machine has cleaned vessels including steel cookers, kadhai, tea vessels, milk boiling vessels, cups, plates - ceramic as well as steel, spoons etc. all very well, without any stains left and shining. We have tried Quick Wash and Eco modes. Quick mode is a 30 minutes cycle and Eco 1:30 minutes cycle. Eco mode performs very well on tough vessels for a fully loaded machine with mix of utensils including cookers, kadhai etc. along with items used in cooking and eating typical Indian food. If we do little rinsing and stack the utensils properly with no utensil covering another one, results are amazing. Basically we need to ensure vessels are placed upside down or at a angle in the stacking racks so that the water spray from the two rotating fans can reach the surface to be cleaned.Adding few pictures.Commonly asked questions -1. Will it fit in kitchen or utility area? -It is a free standing model so it can stand on its own like a typical washing machine where ever we place it. You just need a water inlet and a waste water outlet (drain). Size of the product - 84.5 (height) x 60 (width) x 60 cm (depth). Give another 5 cm clearance needed on each side (left and right) and may be 10 to 15 cm on rear for pipe routing.2. Capacity - What size dishwasher in terms of cleaning capacity?Dishwashers come in different sizes which are defined in units of place settings.Number of people vs Place settings size recommended1-2 persons - 6-9 Place settings2-4 persons- 9-12 Place settings4+ persons- 12+ Place settingsPlace setting definition - The industry defines a place setting as one each of a dinner plate, desert plate, glass, soup bowl, tea cup including saucer, and one set of cutlery (spoon, fork). So a dishwasher of 12 place setting has an max capacity of 12 set of these many utensils if arranged as per recommendations from the manufacturer. Now not every one uses these every day (like you may only use a dinner plate and not a desert plate) plus you may want to clean bigger vessels used for cooking like pans and plates and bowls may be smaller or bigger etc. So dishwasher tray including this Bosch model provides some options to adjust the stacking rack or tines so that you can fit your dishes to clean. As pots, pans and cooking vessels are of not of standard sizes the dishwasher manufacturers define capacity in terms of place settings.3. Pipe size - Water inlet - This pipe has threaded connections on each side, one right angle one that screws on rear of the machine and other side which needs to connect to a water source/tap. This is a 1 inch (25.4mm) threaded connection. See picture of this part with measurement, that I am adding. This is not a commonly used standard size of 1/2 inch (12.7mm) or 3/4 inch (19.05mm) thread as per tap connections typically found in Indian sanitary installations. So will need an adapter based on what pipe/tap is available for your water connection. The installation guy sold one to me for Rs 300 to connect this pipe to sink tap to get me started on the machine. The length of pipe is around 1.5m and can be short or enough based on where your water source connection is. This pipe is strong and rigid.4. Drain outlet. - Waste water outlet. - This is a typical drain pipe you will find coming out of a washing machine may be a little smaller size diameter (appx 1 inch or 2.5 cm) but flexible. This can be routed and put inside a drain hole under kitchen sink.5. For installation, should the drain pipe run on the floor level or at a certain height. - The drain water comes out from machine through a pump. As per the specification of the machine this can pump drain water up to approximately 1m height. So you can route this drain pipe to a sink hole even if it is little higher than the machine level.6. What is the long plastic + rubber strip that comes inside the unit package for? It is not very clear in the installation literature but this is a dust/liquid blocking cover strip that gets pushed and installed under the machine door in the front bottom side. Refer to one of the pictures I have added.7. Detergent and Consumables - So far we have tried Finish Classic powder detergent, Finish Rinse Aid, IFB Salt all purchased from Amazon. Usage of detergent is 15 gram to 20 gram. Machine's detergent socket has clear indicator showing 15, 20, 25gm mark. Even the detergent box lid has similar marking for estimating the quantity. These consumables have given good results.8. What not to put in dishwasher?Use utensils which are dishwasher safe. Aluminum vessels are not recommended to be put in dishwasher as the chemicals like detergent and rinse aid may chemically react with Aluminum and spoil the surface finish. I checked even the hard anodized aluminum items including from Hawkins are not dishwasher safe as per Hawkins so I have not put those. Some high end aluminum products are specifically designated as dishwasher-safe, those may be safe to use.Teflon coated non stick items are also not recommended to be cleaned in dishwasher. Plastics are in general dishwasher safe but should be heavy enough so that they don't move around inside due to water pressure spray and check if they can withstand water temperature up to 70 degree C. From Finish website - Plastic is not typically ‘treated’ to make them dishwasher safe, rather the type of plastic that an item is made from determines whether or not it is dishwasher safe. If a plastic has a very low melting point then the high temperatures of a dishwasher can cause it to melt, but other types of plastic could become brittle and crack.Also most knife manufacturers don't recommend knifes to be put in dishwashers as the edge may get blunt after coming in contact with some chemicals for longer duration at high temperature.Wood and water don't go well if in contact for long time. Wooden items like belan and wooden cutting boards may also absorb chemicals and may get swelled and broken up is they contain glue etc. which can separate when hot.9. Which make? In case you have doubt between which model or make to select e.g. Siemens or Bosch. Please note that both Siemens and Bosch dishwashers are made and sold by same company worldwide. You can do a search online for Siemens Bosch Dishwashers and find that both the brands are now owned and manufactured by BSH Household Appliances Manufacturing Pvt. Ltd. which is now fully owned by Bosch that's why the size, features of most common models for both brands are same. For the Siemens vs Bosch products in same price range only difference is the buttons and control panel layout. Internals, rear, dimensions are exactly the same. So make your choice based on the layout, colour and which model is available for best price on the day you are making your purchase decision.10. Delivery and Installation Experience -Purchased machine from Amazon and delivery was delayed by Bluedart after two days but was happy to receive the machine in good shape in it's sealed original packing. Installation was a below average experience. Bosch has outsourced installation to third party service providers and it seems many of the technicians are not well trained. Instead of focusing on quality of installation and doing a proper demo the person was more interested in selling items like filters, dishwasher cover etc. and if we were asking him questions on functioning, modes etc he was getting annoyed and just wanted to get signature on the installation form and go. He filled some of the form even without checking things. E.g. he is supposed to measure voltage and also check leakage voltage with a multi meter to make sure machine is safe to touch and no shock. He just filled 235V and 0V in the form even without opening his bag for multimeter (I doubt if he even had a meter in his bag). He even started the machine with packet of sample detergent lying inside the machine. Finally I had to let him go and give finishing touches to installation, do proper cable and pipe routing myself and then had machine up and running.Bosch needs to bring up the level of installation service of course different consumers may have a different experience on service depending on which technician gets assigned to a specific job. Please be careful in installation and get it done with all care.11. Energy consumption update -Based on usage pattern of 2 months with most of the the time using quick mode which is only 30 minutes cycle with hot water and machine running once a day (every night). Our power consumption has gone up by 15 to 17 units of electricity from pre-installation six months average which in my highest slab of Rs 6.25 per unit costs that our power utility charges at this time costs Rs 94 to Rs 106 per month. As per official data Quick wash consumes total energy of 0.56 kWh so for 30 washes it should take 16.8kWh which matches very close to my real life usage data.Let me know if you have more questions in comments and I will be happy to respond based on our experience. We had a lot of questions and doubts before making the decision to get a dishwasher here in Indian kitchen setup and so wanted to help other customers save time by sharing our experience so that they can make an informed choice.

Excellent product and good engineering. Does pretty good job. Kitchen is anytime clean now. The following are the pros and cons of the product based on a few weeks of usage. Pros 1. Easy to operate 2. Cleans almost all types of vessels. 3. Versatile and suitable for vessels of various sizes, size adjustments to suit various vessel could be done in minutes. Cons : 1. Installation is messy. This is the second time I'm buying this product in the past four months. Installation team has always taken weeks to even make the first phone call. We need to chase them to get installation done. 2. No display is provided. At this price point, it's illogical to have a product that doesn't even come with one or two inches display.
