Compare the main criteria that affect the choice of the buyer.
Capacity
Full-size models of both brands can accommodate from 6 to 15 sets of dishes. Compact PMM width of 45 cm at a time wash from 6 to 8 sets. The characteristics are similar.
Resource Consumption
Bosch and Siemens are constantly working to improve the energy efficiency of their machinery. Classes A, B, C speak about it and so on. The classes are indicated on the labels that are located on the dishwasher housing.
Power work and energy consumption is approximately the same. Full-sized machines consume from, up to 1 kW per hour. Narrow built-in models are slightly smaller - from, to, 3 kW per hour. The most economical are compact PMM kW.
The water consumption for both brands is also similar, although there are differences:
- narrow dishwashers "Bosch" use from 6 to 13 liters, and "Siemens" from 7 to 13;
- the full-size Siemens technology is more economical - from 6 to 14 liters, whereas Bosch from 9 to 14.
Noise characteristics
Here, the indicators are also not too different: Bosch - 41-54 dB, Siemens - 41-52 dB. These are excellent characteristics, since the 45 dB noise technology is already considered quiet, which is especially important for families with children.
Protection
All the dishwashers received full or partial protection - it is better to compare individual models. In some, the panel is locked from the children. The five-step system "Aquastop" reliably protects from emergencies.
Useful programs and functions
Both brands have 5-6 main programs, which include such types of washing:
- Fast. Need to shorten the time of washing dishes? Then set this mode to 30 minutes.
- Economical. Reduced consumption of energy and water resources.
- Intense. Washes heavily soiled appliances.
- Delicate. Suitable for utensils made of brittle materials.
The number of additional features also affects the convenience of using the equipment. However, it is worth considering that the more new technologies are used, the more expensive the cost of dishwasher. Machines considered brands can boast of such technologies:
- Shine And Dry. Drying of the new generation. Under the PMM tray is a mineral that heats up under the influence of moisture and heats the air. The technology does not require electricity.
- HygienePlus. Disinfection of devices with hot steam.
- VarioSpeed Plus. Consuming more energy, the machine accelerates the washing cycle.
Having studied the opinions of consumers, we came to the conclusion that the dishwashers "Bosch" and "Siemens" have both positive and negative feedback. The efficiency of washing is affected by many factors: the correct arrangement of dishes in baskets, a detergent, the chosen program.
