This is my third Bosch dishwasher. Others lasted 8/10 years. This was a top of the range model. £500 +. It would cost more than £300 to repair. Probably good money after bad. Disgusted, might have well bought an Indesit. It would probably lasted longer.

I had previously been pleased with Bosch products and purchased the BOsch Logixx dishwasher model with the same high expectations of wash quality. I have been sorely disappointed. I would estimate that around 15%-20% of each wash comes out with a cruddy rough and unclean feel to it and needs re-washing. I use the detergent products recommended by Bosch and put the machine through an empty cleaning cycle on a regular basis again using proprietory products. The drying function doesn't do a great job either. One of the programmes now completes in 1 hour 10 mins when it should take 2 hours 30 mins.

So all in all, I'll reluctantly stick with the machine until the first time it breaks and then will gladly replace it with something probably not by Bosch.
