Third-party reviews

What we like about Bosch SBV6ZCX17E

  • Extremely quiet operation (typically 39-42 dB), ideal for open-concept homes
  • Zeolith PerfectDry technology ensures excellent drying results, even on plastics
  • Highly flexible loading options with VarioDrawer (3rd rack) and Rackmatic adjustable baskets
  • Excellent cleaning performance with intensive wash zones for heavily soiled items
  • Energy efficient with high energy ratings and TimeLight projection feature
  • Solid, reliable construction with a durable stainless steel interior

What we don't like about Bosch SBV6ZCX17E

  • Higher initial purchase price compared to competitors
  • Some users find that the 3rd cutlery rack reduces the height available in the main top basket
  • Standard wash cycles can be relatively long (around 2 hours)

Verdict

The Bosch SBV6ZCX17E Series 6 is a fully integrated XXL built-in dishwasher offering a standard 60 cm width, a 14 place setting capacity, and an energy efficiency class C rating. Main characteristics and pros include an exceptionally quiet 39 dB noise level, an efficient 9-liter water consumption per eco cycle, PerfectDry technology with Zeolith for spotless plastic drying, an Extra Clean Zone, a flexible VarioDrawer third rack, and Home Connect Wi-Fi smart control. On the downside, it carries a higher initial purchase price compared to entry-level models, lack of a designated quick half-load setting option on certain standard cycles, and its 86.5 cm height requires an architectural setup compatible with taller kitchen cabinetry layout dimensions.
