Useful video
Video instruction for installing the built-in dishwasher:
I have a big kitchen. Making another repair, I decided to get a dishwasher. The area allows you to install a fully integrated and full-size machine. Moreover, I have a smart electric meter, with the option of saving at night. The family is big, so there is always work for the dishwasher. I chose and settled on the Bosch SMV25EX01R for a long time. In my household there is a lot of equipment of this brand. I completely trust the manufacturer and gladly purchase the equipment.
SMV25EX01R is my first dishwasher, I have never used them before. And then finally decided to buy, I have long wanted.
And my surprise simply knew no bounds when I saw the result of washing - it is perfect! The car will wash better than I did not expect! All the dark and tea deposits (they can be washed only with soda, and this can be laziness simply), dried-up food debris, burnt particles from fried eggs and even lime deposits - washed off And no lime scatter too! Just perfect!
I also have a Bosch machine, she is already many years old. It works like a bee. I have a question for an expert. What dishwashing detergents are better to use tablets or a powder, salt, rinse aid. And the second question, if I use pills, which I’m doing recently, is salt to be added to the water or not. Otherwise, burning indexers bother me.
Bosh SMV25EX01R, very spacious and economical to use dishwasher. I mainly use auto mode. Washes very clean and fast. The dishes became like new (especially a jug for water with a narrow neck and a teapot, because the hand does not come out and it is impossible to wash with a brush).A cutlery box is very convenient (not a basket that takes up a lot of space).
