If at the end of the 20th century, dishwashers were presented to buyers as something exotic, accessible only to the elite, then today you will not surprise anyone with such a device. Of course, it cannot be said that such equipment is in almost every apartment, but the demand for it is quite high. That is why the issue of choosing equipment is more acute than ever for buyers. Which brand do you prefer? What is good about this or that model and how does it differ from others? Faced with the problem of choice, many pay attention to Bosch brand dishwashers. This company has proven itself well, and its name is known to a wide range of buyers.
The rating of dishwashers of this company in different sources is headed by different models. However, Bosch SPV 40E10RU always appears on the leaderboard.
General Features
This is a 9 place freestanding slim dishwasher. The model belongs to the category of fully built-in, therefore, the facade and walls of the headset will hide it entirely during installation. According to its capacitydishwasher is suitable for a family of 3-4 people. The device comes with electronic control: the on and off buttons, as well as program adjustments, are located at the top of the door. There is no display, but there are LED indicators by which you can track the stages of the program and the selected mode.
Cleaning, drying and energy class
Dishwasher manufacturers around the world are trying to make their products as efficient and economical as possible. The Bosch SPV 40E10RU dishwasher was no exception. Reviews indicate that in all three indicators it shows the maximum results. The washing class, which is determined by the amount of food residue left after washing specially soiled dishes, is A (the highest of the existing ones). The drying class is also A. This means that the dishes remain completely dry after the end of the cycle, there are no drops of water or condensate. Energy class A, the most economical of the existing ones. About 0.8 kW is spent on one wash of moderately soiled dishes.
Water consumption for washing
At present, when everyone has water meters, water consumption indicators are of great importance, with which the Bosch SPV 40E10RU dishwasher can attract buyers. Reviews indicate that she consumes only 11 liters per wash cycle, which also includes rinsing. Considering that it includes 9 sets of dishes, and one set consists of 11 items, including cutlery and mugs, thenit turns out that this technique in one bucket of water is able to wash almost 100 items. Such low consumption rates are obtained because the water in the machine is constantly circulating, passing through the filter system and repeatedly dousing the dishes. Fresh comes only at the rinsing stage.
Noise level
This narrow dishwasher has a noise level of 52 dB, which is comparable to a normal conversation in an apartment. Since, in addition, the model is completely built into the cabinet, which will dampen sounds, it will practically not be heard during operation.
Programs
The Bosch SPV 40E10RU dishwasher cannot boast of a large number of programs. Reviews, however, indicate that these modes are quite enough for effective work.
- Rinsing. Designed to remove large food residues. Used to prevent odors when the dishes will not be washed immediately, but after a certain period of time, or used as a soak to increase washing efficiency.
- Washing program at 45 degrees. This function is designed to remove food residue from dishes immediately after eating.
- Washing program at 50 degrees. This is an economical mode for removing lightly dried-on food residues. Energy is saved due to the low water temperature, and the quality of the wash is not reduced by increasing the cycle time.
- Delicate wash at 40 degrees. The program is designed for washing crystal, glass and other fragile materials.
- Regular wash at 65 degrees. Intended forcutlery and other slightly standing dishes. The program is suitable for daily use.
- Intense at 70 degrees. Designed to remove badly dried and burnt food residues from pots and pans.
Engine
The low noise dishwashers are topped by inverter models. This is exactly what is installed in this dishwasher. EcoSilence Drive is a motor that does not have carbon brushes that create the main noise. Instead, the rotor itself is equipped with powerful magnets. Due to the design features, the engine does not heat up and does not wear out, respectively, its service life increases. The reliability of the EcoSilence Drive is so great that the manufacturer gives it a ten-year warranty.
Half Load Sensor
The half load sensor is another useful feature that this Bosch dishwasher boasts. The instruction states that the owner does not need to fully load the free space of the device before starting the wash cycle. It will be enough to activate this function and fill one basket. The machine will automatically recalculate the required amount of water and the duration of washing to optimize the process.
Delay start
This model does not have a display, so you can not make an hourly start delay as in more expensive and functional dishwashers. The interval here is strictly fixed andis 3, 6 or 9 hours. For user convenience, each delay is equipped with an LED that lights up when the desired time is selected.
Aquastop system
This is a 100% leakage protection system provided by a Bosch dishwasher. The instruction indicates that it consists of a float, which, when water enters the pan at the bottom, pops up and blocks its supply, and a double hose, when the inner layer of which breaks through, water spreads through the cavity, reaches the safety valve and also closes. Thus, both the body of the device and the hose are protected from leaks. However, this technology is not unique. Every third Whirlpool, Ariston or Electrolux dishwasher boasts the same system.
Design Features
This model is equipped with two pull-out baskets, the top of which can be taken out and rearranged to optimize the working space. A plastic cup holder is attached to the top basket. However, all household appliances of this type are equipped with such coasters, as well as cutlery baskets. Almost every Whirlpool, Beko or Indesit dishwasher is equipped with 2-3 such stands at once.
But DuoPower technology is not found everywhere. In fact, this is a double rocker that distributes water jets in different directions to improve the quality of washing. Largely thanks to this system, dishes on the topbasket is washed without residues in accordance with class A.
This model has a ServoSchloss lock with a special closer. Thanks to him, the machine itself closes a loosely closed door if its angle of inclination is 10 degrees or less. Many are attracted by the Vario baskets, which allow you to model the dishwasher space according to your needs. The metal guides in the lower basket can be folded. In conventional dishwashers, they are motionless, so large dishes (pans with a diameter of 28 cm, five-liter pots) lie at an angle and take up most of the space in height. Thanks to the folding guides, the dishes lie flat, so they take up little space and rinse better.
DosageAssist
This is another useful option that this dishwasher boasts. The instruction says that, in addition to the standard container for detergent, the device is equipped with a special compartment for tablets. During washing, the pressed agent is lowered into a cuvette from a special dispenser, protected from food residues. Thus, the tablet dissolves evenly, at the right stage of washing. The situation is excluded when it flies out of the compartment, clogs into the corner of the chamber and is not consumed to the end.
Dishwasher device
It is known that the device of any dishwasher includes the following components:
- Inlet and outlet hoses.
- Inlet valve.
- Electronic control board.
- Injection pump.
- Drain pump.
- Heating element.
- Yoke for spraying water.
- Ion exchanger.
- Sensors (water level, water flow, pollution).
Ion exchanger deserves special attention. In fact, this is a container that is filled with special softening s alt. During operation, it replaces calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions and vice versa. As a result, dishes are washed in soft water and rinsed in hard water, which is considered the most effective.
The Bosch dishwasher circuit has been adjusted to the smallest detail. Various innovations, which the consumer does not even suspect, provide maximum efficiency, save water and electricity, protect against flooding and power surges.
Price
The Bosch brand has never been cheap. Any equipment produced by this company costs a lot, including this Bosch dishwasher. The price is made up of many factors, such as the cost of spare parts, duties, transport costs. The Bosch company pays a lot of attention to product quality control, respectively, this also requires money. As practice shows, the number of defective equipment of this brand is extremely low, one can even say that the name of the company has become synonymous with the quality of the goods. This model costs from about 20 thousand rubles.
Repair
Even the most reliable appliances sometimes fail, and dishwashersBosch is no exception in this matter. In small towns, the main problem is the lack of authorized service centers and the difficulty of acquiring any spare parts for dishwashers. In addition, since the model itself is not cheap, replacement parts will also cost a pretty penny. Bosch SPV 40E10RU (the price of which is about 20-25 thousand rubles) is assembled directly in Germany, like most of the household appliances of this company, respectively, spare parts for this type of dishwashers cannot be found in Russia. Very often, service centers have to order them from abroad, which cannot but affect the duration of the repair and its cost. However, the Bosch SPV 40E10RU dishwasher is supplied with a one-year warranty from the manufacturer. Owner reviews also indicate that complaints about this model are extremely rare.
Reviews
Most of the owners are satisfied with their purchase even many months after the start of operation. They claim that the machine washes well, takes up little space, and is easy to connect and operate. Large families of 5-6 people note that there is not enough space in the dishwasher for a large amount of dishes. Therefore, the 60 cm wide Bosch SMV dishwasher is more suitable for them. This model has an audible signal indicating the end of the wash, the popular “beam on the floor” program is absent. Therefore, if the owner did not hear the signal, he can only find out about the end of the cycle by opening the dishwasher and looking at the indicators. Also, some note the inconvenience of usingcloser - you can’t leave the car for ventilation, leaving a small gap, since the door will still close automatically. However, the listed shortcomings, perhaps, are not even shortcomings, but the features of this model are the only thing you can find fault with in it. On all other counts, this is an excellent unit, worth the money.
