Bosch 60 cm built-in dishwashers cover Series 2 through to Series 8. They suit kitchens that need a full-size machine set into the run of units. Most are fully integrated, and there's a semi-integrated stainless steel option too. Capacities run from 12 to 14 place settings, and every model is listed as internet connected, so you can check on a cycle away from the kitchen.

Start with how much of the machine you want to see. Bosch fully integrated 60 cm dishwashers sit completely behind a door panel that matches your units, with the controls on the top edge of the door. A Bosch semi-integrated 60 cm dishwasher also takes a matching door, but leaves a stainless steel control strip on show, so you can see settings and time remaining without opening it.

After that, the Series matter. Series 2 is the straightforward choice, with push-button controls and C or D energy ratings. Series 4 models have push buttons and a C rating. Noise varies from 40 to 46 dB, and some models have Vario Hinge, which Bosch says suits installation at eye level, where you can load without bending. Series 6 moves to touch controls with an LED display, ratings from A to C, and noise of 40 or 44 dB. The Series 8 has an A rating, 40 dB noise, a colour TFT display and an interior light. You'll also find a cutlery basket on some models and a flat cutlery tray on others. The tray frees up space in the lower basket.

To narrow the choice, decide first between fully and semi-integrated. Then set your priorities: a quieter model at 40 dB for an open-plan room, a Vario Hinge Series 4 for a raised housing, or an A rating to keep running costs down if you use it daily. If you don't need it built in, compare Bosch 60 cm freestanding dishwashers.
