Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Only one whitelisted tester (Reviewed/USA Today) ran a hands-on lab review of this exact model. Reviewed calls it an excellent-value entry Bosch: the Auto cycle removed 99.35% of test stains and 79% of dishes came out bone dry, though several settings are app-only. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Above-average cleaning across cycles (Auto cleared 99.35% of stains, Heavy 98%); Strong drying without zeolite - 79% of dishes came out bone dry; Faster-than-average cycle times (Auto 118 min, Heavy 140 min).
Flagged: Key controls (Delicates cycle, Eco mode, child lock, heat/soil tweaks) are accessible only via the Home Connect app; Home Connect connection errors on some Android devices during testing (later fixed by an update).
