In the article we presented, the technical characteristics of a popular dishwasher are given, its advantages and disadvantages are considered. We described in detail the set of functions that the future owner of this model will be able to use. We compared it with competitors in order to assess market positions.

Dimensions and design features

The dimensions of the device are 815 × 448 × 550 mm. Small size is a relevant feature for a modest kitchen. But in a large space, such a model would be appropriate, because it does not make sense to take a large dishwasher for an ordinary family.

This is a fully built-in model, which is ideal for the interior, since on the front door of the machine you can install a decorative panel, for example, from MDF or other suitable material.

The Bosch dishwasher built into the kitchen set is masked from the outside by a panel that “merges” with the material and color of the kitchen furniture

For effective washing dishes in this model provides five levels of distribution of water flow. The design includes three plastic rocker arms: one at the bottom and two at the top. As a result, water reaches every point of the chamber, which makes it possible to effectively remove even severe contaminants from dishes of various types.

The direction of movement of the water jets is carefully calculated, therefore, during processing, contaminants are removed even from difficult places.However, water consumption remains very moderate.

Circulation system Activewater carried out in five directions: two streams in the lower and upper rocker, and one more - from the upper shower. Thanks to a well-thought-out design, up to ten sets of dishes can be safely loaded into such a machine, which fully meets the needs of a family of several people.

The Bosch dishwasher model of the SPV47E40RU series is attractive because of its compact size. The fully integrated dishwasher can be hidden under the decorative panel to keep the interior harmonious

The inner coating of the chamber is made of durable and reliable stainless steel. This model of dishwasher has condensation drying, which is characterized by low energy consumption. To improve the quality of processing dishes, it is necessary to apply dishwasher rinse aid.

The position of the upper box can be changed using the system Rackmatic. This allows, if necessary, to increase the capacity of the lower basket in order to place large dishes there: pots, bowls, etc. It should be borne in mind that the capacity of the upper box will decrease.

Instead of a traditional container for washing cutlery, a third basket is provided, which is installed at the very top of the chamber.

Convenient holders for objects of different sizes and purposes are provided in all baskets of this dishwasher; some holders can be lowered

It can be completely removed, it takes up a minimum of space and greatly facilitates the loading and unloading of devices. If desired, this narrow basket can be stored in a standard drawer of the kitchen table.

Other small items, small coffee cups, etc. can also be washed in this compartment. The position of the third basket in the chamber can vary depending on the situation.

The machine has containers for detergentrinse aid as well regenerating salt, but there is also an option using means of the “3 in 1” type. The design has an indication of the amount of consumables.

For one standard cycle, the device uses 9.5 liters of water and 0.91 kWh of electricity, which made it possible to assign it an energy class A for both positions. The total capacity of the dishwasher is 2.4 kW.

The tray for washing cutlery and small items looks like a narrow basket, after a cycle it can be put in the drawer of the kitchen table

Washing modes and controls

For effective cleaning of dishes from pollution, the following washing modes are provided:

• pre-rinse;
• auto;
• fast;
• economical.

An interesting feature of this machine is the auto-programming function. The device is able to determine the degree of contamination of each batch of dishes, as well as the number of objects, and select the optimal washing program for it.

To determine the number of dishes in the chamber, a load sensor is installed. His testimony affects the amount of water entering the dishwasher chamber. This useful device reduces utility bills.

For processing objects made of thin glass, a gentle washing regimen is best suited. A special capacity is built into the wall of the dishwasher - a heat exchanger. It is designed so that the temperature difference does not affect the state of this thin material. The integrity of the objects contributes to the function of controlling the level of water hardness.

A container is built under the chamber wall of this appliance, which prevents sharp contact of dishes with the heating element and the water that has just been treated with it, which contributes to the gentle washing of glass objects

Glass that is processed in the chamber is not threatened by scale settling. Excessively hard water is detrimental to glass, but too soft is not useful in such a situation. It can contribute to the appearance of sediment on the surface of glass objects.

The minimum water hardness should be 5 pH. Fine expensive porcelain is also best washed using a gentle treatment.

Built-in sensors with increased sensitivity transmit information to the “smart” processor, which selects the optimal water flow rate and jet pressure. This helps to save not only water, but also energy.

For processing pots and pans, i.e. items with a particularly high level of pollution recommended intensive cleaning in the mode Intensivezone.

The compact control panel looks concise, but there is no indicator light on the operation of the device. To understand how to control the device, just carefully study the instructions

Hotter water and a jet under increased pressure are supplied to the lower basket. At the same time, washing in the upper compartment is carried out at the characteristics corresponding to the selected mode.

Features of using the upper cutlery tray are shown in the following video:

This model provides a timer that allows you to delay the execution of the selected cycle for up to nine hours. At the end of the washing cycle, the machine gives a sound signal, which can be turned off if desired.

Leakage and breakage protection

This model has two locking options: mechanical and electronic. The first prevents the door from opening during washing, and the second protects against accidental interference that can change the selected mode. System Aquastop guarantees absolute protection against leaks.

The dimensions of this Bosch dishwasher can be called standard, so such a device can easily establish a niche that was previously occupied by a device of another brand with the same dimensions

The manufacturer is so confident in its effectiveness that it undertakes not only to perform warranty repairs, but also to reimburse the owner for the cost of damage resulting from leakage.

But this rule applies only in cases where the machine is installed and connected in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, and also provided that the extension cord designed for this system is correctly installed.

The rocker arms and overhead shower are installed so that the water entering the dishwasher chamber is distributed in the most rational way

The presence of such an effective protection eliminates the need to close the shut-off valve between the machine and the water supply after the cycle. However, you still have to install such a crane.

Motor EcoSilence Drive It is designed in such a way as to effectively transfer loads and at the same time emit a minimum amount of noise. The flow heater is combined with a pump in one compact unit. The noise level is low enough for this type of technology, it is only 48 dB.
