Siemens, Bosch or Samsung dishwasher?

[Asvan]

I'm looking to buy my first dishwasher and have been researching for a long time. I have narrowed it down to the following:

ao.com/product/dw60r7040fs-samsung-series-7-standard-dishwasher-silver-76657-23.aspx

ao.com/product/sms46ii01g-bosch-serie-4-standard-dishwasher-stainless-steel-68126-23.aspx

The siemens one comes with a 5 year warranty and is a lot over my budget but will it be worth it in the long run? I can stretch to paying extra for a quality product which will last.

Anyone who owns any of these your opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have the Bosch serie 4. Absolutely hate it. No matter how many times I clean the trays etc nothing ever comes clean. My old beko one was much better.

I have an 18 year old Bosch - love it. One of the parts on the lower rack broke recently and we were easily able to order a replacement. When I need a new machine, I'll stick with Bosch again.

Bosch and Siemens are the same machine. Just styled and priced differently. But within bosh there are three ranges I believe. The cheap ones are built to a price to don't expect anything great. Miele isn't too much more expensive and they are built like tanks and last forever.

We have a Bosch serie 6 - no issues - would recommend

I have an integrated Siemens dishwasher (5 years old) but I live alone and only use it every other day - and not a full load then. So far, it’s been excellent, but I can’t compare as it’s my first dishwasher.

As pp said, they are all from the same manufacturer, but I believe Bosch are the entry level budget models, Siemens are the middle range, and Neff the top of the range. Bosch are very popular and appear to be very reliable, as are the more expensive ranges.

I have a Bosch dishwasher for 20 years. No issues really.
I know I am tempting fate now. Aghh !!!

We have an integrated Siemens iQ700 and I absolutely love it!

[ChequerBoard]

Siemens every time. Our first one lasted 15 years and our second is now 12 years old and still going strong. Never had a single days issue with either of them and they wash and dry everything brilliantly.

I had a brand new Philips Whirlpool befor eI bought the first Siemens dishwasher. It was utterly awful - dirty, streaky dishes, temperamental, prone to blockages. The difference in quality is like night and day!

The Siemens (or Neff) would likely be higher end even though they are all part of the same group. Bosch tends to be entry level of the group and more focussed on functionality rather than style. Neff and Siemens tend to have a better design and sometimes more functionality, so it depends what matters most to you. However Neff only do integrated appliances whereas Siemens and Bosch do stand-alone so something else to think about. We have a Neff dishwasher and a Siemens Washing machine, both 8 years old and I can’ fault either. I’m about to replace our oven, hood and cooker and I’m looking at Siemens rather than Neff as I prefer the design.

As others - bosch/neff/siemens are the same company.

I’ve had positive experiences of both Bosch & Neff. Friends have a 10yr old siemens.

I’d go for the Bosch if that is in budget.

My best ever dishwasher is my Siemens one. I've had Bosch in the past. It has a full cutlery drawer, and a light which bounces the remaining time on the floor. It also has a sensible set up inside, other than for wine glasses, which annoys me. There's a contraption for that but I don't use it. It's still going fine after nearly 5 years.

[Jarstastic]

Siemens. If it's one of the models made in Germany.

Bought a stainless steel one last year when the local Euronics shop had an offer on it.

Washes better than Hotpoint, Neff or AEG machines we've owned/own/use.
Super super quiet.
Loved the cutlery drawer. If tall glasses don't quite fit, you can lower the top rack on the side.

[ceilingsand]

Good idea @Jarstastic -I always forget that.

[PickAChew]

Siemens and bosch are the same.

[PickAChew]

Neff, also.

And I love the cutlery tray in my bosch series 6.
