Overview of Bosch Built-in dishwashers 45 cm

According to official statistics from several European countries, Bosch’s best-selling Bosch dishwashers 45 cm are the best-selling Bosch dishwashers. Why is it that European customers who choose these appliances? Probably in order to understand this, you need to do a review of it, but that is exactly what we decided to do now.

Selection tips

In order to buy a good Bosch built-in dishwasher 45 cm, you need to understand why you chose this type of technique. Usually narrow cars are bought in order to save at least a little space in a small kitchen. Here the logic is simple: if a few centimeters are not enough to accommodate a full-size machine, they buy equipment with a body of a smaller width.

Sometimes such cars are taken to save a little, because models with a width of 45 cm are often a little cheaper than their standard counterparts. In our opinion, this is a dubious saving. A full-sized machine is much more functional, in addition, the difference in cost is very small, in other words, it’s not worth it.

The difference in cost between a standard dishwasher and a 45 cm machine does not exceed 7% on average.

There is an opinion that many buyers choose these Bosch dishwashers, obeying the pressure of advertising information. Numerous commercials opaquely hint that Bosch dishwashers 45 cm are more affordable, technologically advanced and can save a lot of space. Consumers of advertising, accepting these advantages as something absolute, acquire this technique without even thinking about the meaning of these so-called advantages.

Our advice is simple: buy only what you really need, and not what the advertisement imposes on you. The same applies to the functions of Bosch dishwashers 45 cm. We are gently forced to overpay for equipment stuffed with electronics and unnecessary functions, although in some cases simpler models work much better, cost much less and work much longer. Think in advance what should be in your dishwasher, and what you can safely refuse. Then you will choose the best cost and quality technique.

On the pros and cons

Bosch's fully integrated dishwasher 45 cm has a number of objective advantages that cannot be ignored. We will discuss these benefits now.

1. The narrow body of the Bosch dishwasher expands the possibilities for its integration. In some cases, such a machine is placed in the bowels of a standard stand. You don’t even need to make a special niche for it, removed the shelves from the cabinet, redid its back wall and here is a ready place for you under the dishwasher.
2. Saving space in the kitchen is a relative plus, but still a plus and we can’t mention it.
3. Built-in dishwasher does not affect the interior composition of the kitchen. You can change the furniture as much as you like, and the machine as it was hidden behind the facade, it will be so. What can not be said about freestanding models that are always in sight. Learn more about what is the difference between built-in and non-built-in dishwashers, read in the article of the same name, now we will not write about this in detail.
4. Bosch produces much more narrow models, which means that the choice of such equipment is much richer. You may ask: why is this an advantage? Yes, because it’s easier for the user to choose a good model when the choice is rich, and not vice versa.

As we already understood, size matters. But Bosch 45 cm cars have not only advantages, but also disadvantages, and on our part it would be a crime not to introduce you to them.

1. The capacity of the 45 cm models is very limited. The most advanced models are capable of washing 10 sets of dishes at a time, when, as standard dishwashers, they contain 12-14 sets.
2. Not only about the amount of laundered dishes we are talking about. A small-sized washing chamber is not able to accommodate large-sized dishes, such as a huge pan. The hostess, one way or another, will have to wash it by hand, and it’s a shame when literally a meter away is a working dishwasher.
3. Such machines are difficult to quickly put into operation. It is necessary not only to connect such a machine, it must be properly integrated, hang the facade, and only then check. And imagine if it turns out to be defective. We'll have to remove the facade, turn everything off, pull the machine out of the niche and return it to the store. Whether it is a case of freestanding models: connected and can be used.

Probably, it is already clear that each type of dishwasher has both pluses and minuses, but this does not mean that they are relevant for each user. Someone will not even pay attention to the aforementioned minuses, but they will really scare someone away, it all depends on many individual characteristics that must be paid attention to in the process of choosing the ideal “home assistant”.

Bosch Serie 6 SPV 69T90

This is one of the best models in its class. Quiet, makes noise during operation at 44 dB. Washes flawlessly clean. Can wash 10 sets of dishes at a time. Dimensions of its body (W x D x H) 45 x 55 x 82 cm. Baskets are capable of transformation and movement not only forward / backward, but also up / down. The feature set is worthy of the best premium technology:

• protection against children's interference;
• half loading of the washing chamber;
• delay in starting the program for a day;
• full protection against any leaks;
• a sensor that controls the purity of water;
• sound notification that the machine has completed work;
• recognition of tablets 3 in 1, 5 in 1, 7 in 1, etc .;
• projecting a timer on the floor;

The machine projects a timer directly onto the floor. The projected hours show how much is left before the end of the washing program, very convenient.

• interior lighting of the washing chamber;
• tray loading sensor;
• intensive washing area.

The list is impressive, but that's not all. The machine has 6 carefully selected washing programs, among which the express program allows you to wash dishes in a few tens of minutes. An ordinary wash lasts a little over 3 hours. The model is built into furniture without problems, it is quite economical: it consumes 9.5 liters of water per cycle, spends 0.75 kW / h and 25% less detergent. Perhaps this is why the company's specialists do not recommend putting the powder in the dishwasher at the norm, and it is advised to cut the tablet. In general, the model is very decent, experts and ordinary users admit it. The price is $ 700.

Bosch SPV 69T70

This model is even more expensive and even more sophisticated. Bosch SPV 69T70 consumes slightly more resources than the machine described above, but it works quieter. According to our data, it emits noise at a maximum of 41 dB, although it costs 43 dB in the passport. Incredibly quiet dishwasher. Her baskets are “pulled” by capacity for 10 sets, moreover, they are “pulled” objectively. They are made of durable metal and can be transformed well. All modern features are present.

1. Economical half load.
2. Protection against leaks and the intervention of children.
3. Delaying the start of the program up to a day.
4. Sensor that controls the purity of water.
5. Recognition of funds 3 in 1.
6. Light indication in the form of a beam on the floor.
7. Beautiful interior illumination of the washing chamber.
8. The sound signal alerts the user about the end of the wash.

It should be noted that this signal is extremely intrusive. If you do not open the door, it will continue to play with brief interruptions.

9. Light indication on the control panel indicating the presence of salt / rinse aid.

The machine has a lot of all sorts of little things and additions that are so appreciated by individual users. Well, for example, this model simply has excellent glass holders. They reliably hold dishes and ensure their high-quality washing. Six washing programs, they are the same as the above model. The Bosch SPV 69T70 now costs about $ 770.

Bosch Serie 6 SPV 69X10

If you want to see a Bosch 45 cm dishwasher “packaged in full”, pay attention to the Bosch Serie 6 SPV 69X10 model. An incredibly promising dishwasher, which, however, costs space money - 1250 dollars. As much as possible in it it is possible to wash 10 sets of ware at the same time it will spend only 9 liters of water. The model is low noise and very economical. It has all the above functions and is additionally still present:

• the function of cleaning baking sheets (the nozzle is included);
• Vario Speed ​​Plus;
• Hygiene Plus.

The machine is distinguished by excellent assembly and excellent quality components. Even a superficial inspection shows that the equipment is reliable and can work for decades. The baskets for this model do not differ from the Bosch SPV 69T70 baskets, so it is not very clear why this model is so expensive. Well, let’s not talk about it, let’s leave it on the conscience of the manufacturer.

Bosch SPV 50E70

And this model is noteworthy for its very low cost. We can say that this is a budget model, since it costs only 420 dollars. Surprisingly, in addition to the standard set of functions, there are also bells and whistles worthy of expensive models. For example, this machine has an optional “beam on the floor” function, and from the optional accessories there is a holder for glasses. Looking at this model I don’t even want to overpay for the sophisticated Boshi 6 series. What can Bosch SPV 50E70 boast?

1. Normal capacity - 9 place settings.
2. Sufficiency for budget models. She spends 9.5 liters of water, 0.78 kWh of electricity and a little less than the standard rate of detergents for one wash cycle.
3. Modern electronic control, however, without a display.
4. Five perfectly selected washing programs.
5. The normal level of noise that "does not jump out" beyond 48 dB.
6. The delay in starting the washing program is up to 9 hours.

It is not clear why the manufacturers did not postpone the 24 hours, because it does not require additional costs.

7. Full protection against leaks (case, hoses).
8. The presence of a special sensor that controls the purity of water.
9. The ability to recognize means 3 in 1.
10. The presence of indicators indicating the presence of salt and rinse aid.

Comments are redundant. For 420 dollars, we get almost everything the same as for 1250 dollars. The logic of the manufacturer is frankly incomprehensible. After all, the build quality and parts of the budget Bosch SPV 50E70 dishwasher does not differ much from the above model.

Bosch SPV 43M20

Another budget dishwasher, which, in our opinion, is even slightly better than the previous one, although it costs the same - 420 dollars. The Bosch SPV 43M20 has everything the same as the Bosch SPV 50E70, but there is also an additional child lock, display, and half load. The reliability of Bosch SPV 43M20 is slightly inferior to its "counterpart", but still the build quality is very decent. Users rather highly appreciate this model, which is reflected in their numerous reviews.

Perhaps this is where we will finish our story. The analysis of Bosch built-in dishwashers 45 cm was carried out deep, draws to draw conclusions, but we will refrain from them. We have provided you with all the necessary material, there is “food for thought”, and draw your own conclusions. We hope this material helps you make the right choice that will completely satisfy you. Good luck!
