Advantages: Very quiet

Disadvantages: dinner plates only fit in certain sections

I bought this dishwasher recently after the previous Bosch machine I had broke down.
I decided on a Bosch because the last one had worked without incident for about 14
years. There seem to be lots of shelves and folding bits on the top layer which I
removed as it gave me more space. I found that the so called space savers just got in
the way and meant that a normal sized mug wouldn't fit. The cutlery basket has
instructions that suggest using the basket with the top closed and slotting each item of
cutlery into a seperate space. Unfortunately my cutlery is too big to fit into the holes
available so although I can see how this would help in the cleaning process it is
useless in my case. I was very impressed at how quietly this machine worked as my old one was very noisy. You hardly notice this one is on. So far the machine has worked very well and is cleaning much
better than my old machine did during it's final days.

Summary: a few useless bits but overall a great machine
