Reviews of the Bosch SPS 40E12 RU dishwasher

A dishwasher assembled in Germany at a cost of around $460 in Russian stores. It sounds somehow unconvincing. However, the Bosch SPS 40E12 RU dishwasher costs exactly that much. Maybe it's a matter of low quality, you never know what can be collected in Germany? It's difficult to understand right away. It’s probably worth reading customer reviews, which will definitely tell you more about this machine than the advertisement or the salesperson in the store.

Immediately after the purchase, I treated this machine very badly, I even tried to return it to the store. Firstly, while washing the machine there was a loud ringing sound, as if some parts were touching each other. Secondly, the inside smelled very strongly of plastic. About two weeks have passed and the extraneous sounds have disappeared, my husband says the mechanisms have gotten used to it. Then, after about a month, I noticed that the foreign odors had disappeared, which made me suddenly change my mind about the Bosch SPS 40E12 RU. From that moment on, I began to see only advantages.

• It gives excellent results. Plates, wine glasses and other utensils are sparkling clean.
• The baskets for dishes are very convenient and roomy.

The baskets are rearranged from place to place depending on the type of dishes being placed.

• The body is narrow, so it takes up less space in the kitchen.
• There are 4 wonderful washing programs that are suitable for any type of dirt.
• You can use any dishwashing detergent.

You can say that I fell in love with the dishwasher while working. The same thing may well happen to you. Therefore, do not rush to reject the technique at first glance; perhaps it is not at all as bad as it seems.

We've had this machine for almost 4 years now, and we want something newer. But I want it not because it doesn’t wash well or is broken, I just like to update my equipment more often. I wash all my dishes in it, including fragile ones, since it has a special mode. Bosch SPS 40E12 RU has a full-fledged Aqua-stop, it has never worked for us, but judging by the description, it works well and will not allow your apartment to flood.

There is only one minus - the door. I mean, the door itself is normal, but its opening mechanism is “crooked”, it either opens completely or closes completely, there is no other way. To dry the dishwasher from the inside, you have to insert a crumpled rag, then the door does not close completely and there remains a gap sufficient for air circulation. What prevented the engineers from coming up with a smooth opening mechanism is not clear. In general, the machine is normal, you won’t regret it if you buy it.

About two years ago, a friend told me how great it was to have a dishwasher in the kitchen. I somehow managed without it and didn’t think that the extra “bandura” in my small kitchen was not really needed. I considered all the advantages of automatic dishwashing to be exaggerated. How wrong I was!

When I managed to buy a Bosch machine, I realized that it is almost impossible to wash dishes with my hands efficiently. Especially when it comes to products made of thin glass. When you wash glassware with your hands, when it dries, droplets or streaks remain. After the dishwasher, the glassware is perfectly clear, and that’s just wonderful!

I've been using this machine for a long time, so I know what I'm talking about. The equipment is excellent for the money. It has minor shortcomings that you won’t notice right away, but they are more than compensated for by a large number of advantages.The main thing is that the machine washes dishes efficiently and has not broken down for several years. Five points!

My hands know very well what it’s like to do without a dishwasher. Personally, I remember the first two years of living in a new apartment with a shudder. Then in our kitchen there was nothing except a table, stools, a refrigerator and a small stove. Of course, I washed the dishes with my hands, which caused all the skin on my hands to crack. Even rubber gloves didn't help.

For those who want to preserve their expensive manicure, a dishwasher will also help.

Some will say that I am a sissy. But in fact, I just have problem skin since childhood. Contact with dishwashing detergent and hot water is not in vain for me. Bosch SPS 40E12 RU helped me out a lot and continues to help me to this day. I really love my dishwasher!

Bosch is our second dishwasher, and the first was Zanussi. I am very pleased with both machines, but the Bosch SPS 40E12 RU, of course, is newer and more interesting, and cleans a little better. The Bosch machine has a narrow body and at first glance, it seems that few dishes will fit into it, but this is a mistake. In such a dishwasher you can wash a mountain of kitchen utensils at once. It cleans perfectly, especially pots, so I can confidently recommend it to everyone!

Irina, Novosibirsk

The lifespan of this machine is almost three years. She hasn't given me any trouble the entire time. Every day it performs its function properly. About once every two months I clean the filter from food residues, so the water circulation is not disturbed. I recommend to buy!

Men's opinions

Boris, St. Petersburg

It’s quite bad that this machine is not built-in, otherwise it’s a super piece of equipment. It washes for a long time, but thoroughly; it still takes some time for the dishes to dry. My wife is especially pleased and says that this is the best machine. In our economy it is simply necessary. I'm still amazed at how well she washes forks. Five points!

Vitaly, Voronezh

I worked in a household appliance store for a couple of years, so I know for sure that Bosch dishwashers made in Germany are the best that is on the counter. Dishwashers Candy or Hans is captured only by absolutely crazy people who don’t mind wasting money. I have a Bosch SPS 40E12 RU, which has been working like a clock for three and a half years.

It is simple and very reliable. I think it will work even if you kick it every day. I may not be a great specialist, but I can still recommend it to you with a clear conscience. I give it five stars!

Vasily, Rostov-on-Don

An excellent dishwasher for merciless use. I've been using it twice a day for a year and a half now. Not a single technical problem. The price is affordable. I recommend to buy!
