Browse Forums Kitchen Appliances 1 Mar 16, 2010 9:05 pm Im bringing this thread back up again, cause im in the market for a new dishwasher.. Im looking at 2 bosch models the SMU68MO5AU - with 3rd cutlery drawer and the SMS63M08AU - NO cutlery drawer. Difference in price is about $120. Otherwise very similar dishwashers. Someone bought up the point that if your cutlery drawer is not near the dishwasher its a pain to unload and the basket is a better option. Does the cutlery drawer come out? Is the drawer a pain to load and unload? Im always in a hurry and usually just throw the cutlery into the basket. If anyone has either of these dishwashers Id love your opinion. I need to order it by friday ... Thanks Re: Bosch dishwashers- urgent opinions please 2Mar 16, 2010 9:11 pm We have one with a cutlery basket, but it is located next to the kitchen drawers anyway. As far as the dishwasher goes... love it, love it, love it Blog: http://bluemistkids.blogspot.com "Never be afraid to try something new.

Having said that, we had one in a Miele in our last house and it was a definite requirement for the new house. Dumping the cutlery in a basket just seems wrong now. I think there's something vaguely therapeutic about putting each piece of cutlery in a slot in the drawer. Some (most?) of the extra time used loading is recouped in unloading, as all the knives, forks etc are grouped together and don't need to be sorted. All things being equal, I suspect the cutlery drawer contributes to a better wash/dry too. Cheers zeke Re: Bosch dishwashers- urgent opinions please 4Mar 16, 2010 9:18 pm We just bought one with the 3rd cutlery drawer for the new house as we own one at the moment with the basket and it takes up a bit of space especially when you want to put bigger things in such as platters etc. Our friend has the one with the cutlery drawer and goes on and on about how fantastic having the drawer is. Can't tell you what it is like as we haven't used it yet but we are just going by our mates advice. Hopefully he is right!

Re: Bosch dishwashers- urgent opinions please 7Oct 14, 2010 1:50 pm We recently bought a Bosch. Not the same model, but we're very very happy with it. Even on Quick mode it washes great. Re: Bosch dishwashers- urgent opinions please 8Oct 14, 2010 8:50 pm I brought one when I renovated my kitchen 2 yrs ago. Absolutely loved it.
