In the article we presented, the technical characteristics of a popular dishwasher are given, its advantages and disadvantages are considered. We described in detail the set of functions that the future owner of this model will be able to use. We compared it with competitors in order to assess market positions.

Dimensions and design features

The dimensions of the device are 815 × 448 × 550 mm. Small size is a relevant feature for a modest kitchen. But in a large space, such a model would be appropriate, because it does not make sense to take a large dishwasher for an ordinary family.

This is a fully built-in model, which is ideal for the interior, since on the front door of the machine you can install a decorative panel, for example, from MDF or other suitable material.

The Bosch dishwasher built into the kitchen set is masked from the outside by a panel that “merges” with the material and color of the kitchen furniture

For effective washing dishes in this model provides five levels of distribution of water flow. The design includes three plastic rocker arms: one at the bottom and two at the top. As a result, water reaches every point of the chamber, which makes it possible to effectively remove even severe contaminants from dishes of various types.

The direction of movement of the water jets is carefully calculated, therefore, during processing, contaminants are removed even from difficult places.However, water consumption remains very moderate.

Circulation system Activewater carried out in five directions: two streams in the lower and upper rocker, and one more - from the upper shower. Thanks to a well-thought-out design, up to ten sets of dishes can be safely loaded into such a machine, which fully meets the needs of a family of several people.

Dishwasher Bosch SPV47E40RU1
The Bosch dishwasher model of the SPV47E40RU series is attractive because of its compact size. The fully integrated dishwasher can be hidden under the decorative panel to keep the interior harmonious

The inner coating of the chamber is made of durable and reliable stainless steel. This model of dishwasher has condensation drying, which is characterized by low energy consumption. To improve the quality of processing dishes, it is necessary to apply dishwasher rinse aid.

The position of the upper box can be changed using the system Rackmatic. This allows, if necessary, to increase the capacity of the lower basket in order to place large dishes there: pots, bowls, etc. It should be borne in mind that the capacity of the upper box will decrease.

Instead of a traditional container for washing cutlery, a third basket is provided, which is installed at the very top of the chamber.

Basket Bosch SPV47E40RU
Convenient holders for objects of different sizes and purposes are provided in all baskets of this dishwasher; some holders can be lowered

It can be completely removed, it takes up a minimum of space and greatly facilitates the loading and unloading of devices. If desired, this narrow basket can be stored in a standard drawer of the kitchen table.

Other small items, small coffee cups, etc. can also be washed in this compartment. The position of the third basket in the chamber can vary depending on the situation.

The machine has containers for detergentrinse aid as well regenerating salt, but there is also an option using means of the “3 in 1” type. The design has an indication of the amount of consumables.

For one standard cycle, the device uses 9.5 liters of water and 0.91 kWh of electricity, which made it possible to assign it an energy class A for both positions. The total capacity of the dishwasher is 2.4 kW.

Washing modes and controls

For effective cleaning of dishes from pollution, the following washing modes are provided:

  • pre-rinse;
  • auto;
  • fast;
  • economical.

An interesting feature of this machine is the auto-programming function. The device is able to determine the degree of contamination of each batch of dishes, as well as the number of objects, and select the optimal washing program for it.

To determine the number of dishes in the chamber, a load sensor is installed. His testimony affects the amount of water entering the dishwasher chamber. This useful device reduces utility bills.

For processing objects made of thin glass, a gentle washing regimen is best suited. A special capacity is built into the wall of the dishwasher - a heat exchanger. It is designed so that the temperature difference does not affect the state of this thin material. The integrity of the objects contributes to the function of controlling the level of water hardness.

Bosch heat exchanger SPV47E40RU
A container is built under the chamber wall of this appliance, which prevents sharp contact of dishes with the heating element and the water that has just been treated with it, which contributes to the gentle washing of glass objects

Glass that is processed in the chamber is not threatened by scale settling. Excessively hard water is detrimental to glass, but too soft is not useful in such a situation. It can contribute to the appearance of sediment on the surface of glass objects.

The minimum water hardness should be 5 pH. Fine expensive porcelain is also best washed using a gentle treatment.

Built-in sensors with increased sensitivity transmit information to the “smart” processor, which selects the optimal water flow rate and jet pressure. This helps to save not only water, but also energy.

For processing pots and pans, i.e. items with a particularly high level of pollution recommended intensive cleaning in the mode Intensivezone.

Bosch Control Panel SPV47E40RU
The compact control panel looks concise, but there is no indicator light on the operation of the device. To understand how to control the device, just carefully study the instructions

Hotter water and a jet under increased pressure are supplied to the lower basket. At the same time, washing in the upper compartment is carried out at the characteristics corresponding to the selected mode.

Features of using the upper cutlery tray are shown in the following video:

This model provides a timer that allows you to delay the execution of the selected cycle for up to nine hours. At the end of the washing cycle, the machine gives a sound signal, which can be turned off if desired.

Leakage and breakage protection

This model has two locking options: mechanical and electronic. The first prevents the door from opening during washing, and the second protects against accidental interference that can change the selected mode. System Aquastop guarantees absolute protection against leaks.

Dimensions Bosch SPV47E40RU
The dimensions of this Bosch dishwasher can be called standard, so such a device can easily establish a niche that was previously occupied by a device of another brand with the same dimensions

The manufacturer is so confident in its effectiveness that it undertakes not only to perform warranty repairs, but also to reimburse the owner for the cost of damage resulting from leakage.

But this rule applies only in cases where the machine is installed and connected in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, and also provided that the extension cord designed for this system is correctly installed.

Rocker arms Bosch SPV47E40RU
The rocker arms and overhead shower are installed so that the water entering the dishwasher chamber is distributed in the most rational way

The presence of such an effective protection eliminates the need to close the shut-off valve between the machine and the water supply after the cycle. However, you still have to install such a crane.

Motor EcoSilence Drive It is designed in such a way as to effectively transfer loads and at the same time emit a minimum amount of noise. The flow heater is combined with a pump in one compact unit. The noise level is low enough for this type of technology, it is only 48 dB.

Customer reviews about this car

The owners respond positively about the quality of the washing of this unit. Sometimes there are small problems that are usually associated with errors during arrangement of dishes. The presence of a separate basket for processing cutlery, as well as the ability to change the location of the baskets, is highly appreciated.

Holders Bosch SPV47E40RU
A very convenient element - holders for glasses. Water jets enter the chamber under pressure, the clamps prevent possible damage

A very convenient element - holders for glasses. Most often, owners use standard automatic mode. The quick wash is only suitable for dishes with fresh soiling. This mode is convenient to use during the reception of a large number of guests, you can wash the dishes between meals.

Low cost is noted in comparison with other models of this class. Noise level is assessed as acceptable, although noticeable. If there is no one in the kitchen, you can turn on the delay on the timer to start the process at night. Management is rated as simple and convenient.

The position of all three baskets in this dishwasher can be changed to make more room for large items of dishes. If the instrument tray is not needed, you can simply remove it

Among the shortcomings, the absence of a light indicator that gives a signal spot on the floor, which means that the washing process continues, is noted. The sound signal is short, it is not always heard.

To determine the end time washing cycle, you have to remember the start time and duration of the selected mode. Some do not like the lack of a latch on the door; during loading it has to be opened very much.

Comparison with competing models

Other manufacturers have models that are very similar to the SPV47E40RU dishwasher, but differ in some respects. Below we consider models of three manufacturers that could compete with the car in question.

Competitor # 1 - Electrolux ESL 94200 LO

The Electrolux ESL 94200LO has very similar characteristics. This is also a narrow fully built-in unit with almost the same dimensions.

There are five different washing modes, but usually only two are used: an automatic cycle that lasts two hours, and a quick wash for half an hour.

But a separate basket for small items and cutlery is not provided here. The device is equipped with a standard container that can be placed in the upper or lower basket. The machine of the Polish assembly is quite reliable.

There is a timer for delaying start. Noise is not very strong, you can turn it on at night. Designed for the simultaneous processing of nine sets of dishes.

Electrolux ESL94200LO is an interesting analogue of the Polish assembly; it is a compact machine, fully built-in, equipped with a standard set of washing modes, as well as condensation drying.

Competitor # 2 - Hotpoint-Ariston HSIE 2B0 C

The Hotpoint-Ariston HSIE 2B0 C is another slim built-in model that allows you to wash up to ten sets of dishes at the same time. It provides for condensation drying, economical use of resources and five different modes of cleaning dishes.

For high-quality processing of dishes, the owner can use one of 3 temperature modes.

The Ariston HSIE 2B0 C model allows you to choose from the standard dishwashing modes the most suitable depending on the number of objects and the degree of pollution.

The owner can choose intensive washing for particularly contaminated items, IVF - for light soiling and other options.

This machine consumes only 8 liters of water per wash cycle, and the noise level is up to 51 dB. The dishwasher signals the end of the process with a sound signal.

Many buyers note the quiet operation of the device, good roominess, economical consumption of resources, as well as well-washed dishes.

Competitor # 3 - Gorenje GV56211

Dishwasher Gorenje GV56211 also belongs to the class of narrow and fully built-in dishwashers with good energy consumption: A +++.

An interesting feature of this unit is the presence of a system that works to clean filters and prevent clogging. For convenient placement of large dishes inside the chamber, the MultiClack system is provided.

Dishwasher Gorenje GV56211 has good indicators of saving resources and is equipped with a filter cleaning system, which facilitates its maintenance.

Use it to move the upper basket to resize the space above the lower basket. The appliance recognizes which detergent that is used for washing: regular or “3 in 1”, and accordingly adjusts the washing mode.

For light soiling, the processing time can be reduced using the SpeedWash function.

    I bought a Bosch SPV47E40RU dishwasher about six months ago, instead of the old Electrolux. So far, everyone is happy. The only thing sad is the lack of a latch on the door.

  2. Yulia

    I heard that Bosch dishwashers are very sensitive to water hardness. Is a filter mandatory for them if the rigidity of the crane is high? Or is standard salt enough?

      Good afternoon!

      According to SanPiN 2.1.4.1074-01, the maximum permissible hardness of tap water in Russia is 7 mEq / l. The manufacturer of Bosch dishwashers in the instructions for all models indicates that the maximum allowable rigidity for operating equipment is 8 mEq / l. If you are not lucky and the water coming to you through the water supply system does not fit into the legislative norms, then it is really better to purchase a filter softener. But, as a rule, tap water still corresponds to SanPin. At the same time, you should know that an indicator above 6 mEq / l indicates that water is classified as hard.

      When using such water for a Bosch dishwasher, you must:

      1) Monitor the salt level, as it ends very quickly.
      2) It is imperative to use a rinse aid for dishes, setting the level of rigidity.

      For the correct setting of the dishwasher, it is advisable to know the exact level of hardness. This can be done using test strips, which are sold in household appliance stores. Or you can just call or send an electronic appeal to Vodokanal with a question about the parameters of tap water to your address.

      Also, do not forget to periodically use a special cleaner to clean the machine without dishes. The products contain acids that dissolve salt deposits arising from hard water. You can read more about such tools in this article on our website.
