hello everyone!! i'm so excited about my new purchase and wanted to ask the questions i have before it arrives. it will arrive in this week. i'm upgrading from a really old Arcelik dishwasher that doesn't wash well anymore and keep causing problems.
i'm living in Turkey, and the flagship/top of the line BSH dishwasher models here are:
Bosch: SMS8YDI82T — https://www.bosch-home.com.tr/urun-...-genisliginde-bulasik-makineleri/SMS8YDI82T#/
Siemens: SN27YI82DT — https://www.siemens-home.bsh-group....m-ebatli-bulasik-makineleri-60cm/SN27YI82DT#/
i bought the Siemens one.
my questions are:
1. did i make a good purchase? what are your thoughts about these models? hopefully i did, because i paid a lot hahaha.
2. are these Bosch and Siemens model exactly the same, apart from the some minor design/color changes?
3. why do these have B rating in Turkey? they still have better ratings than other models in Turkey, but i see that the same models in Germany have the A rating. do they use different interiors or something? is this a bad thing?
4. i remember reading a thread here and people were talking about Bosch not having the PowerControl spray arms. but, both the Siemens and Bosch models have PowerControl spray arms here. am i missing something? is it better to have them or not?
5. i see that these models have a feature to automatically open the door when drying finishes, my previous dishwasher didn't have this. so i'm confused about it, do y'all suggest me to turn it on for all programs, or use it just for eco? and also, these models have 3 drying features i guess (zeolith + warm fan + auto door) if i turn on this auto door function, does it still use Zeolith and Fan drying too? like do they affect each other?
6. i see that these have an extra spray arm on the middle rack called "Extra Clean Zone". you can turn them off or on via pushing a physical button inside the rack. my question is, if i turn this on, does it lower the water pressure for other spray arms? if it doesn't affect the pressure of other arms then i would use it on all the time, but i'm confused. the manual says turning it on would change the water consumption, but how does it understand i'm using the Extra Clean Zone since it's a physical button inside? why does it change water usage? do y'all suggest me to leave it on all the time?
7. would y'all suggest the "Auto 40-65" program? that's the one i'm thinking to use most of the time, but i can't decide if i should use Auto or Eco mode instead. does Auto wash/rinse better than Eco?
8. i see that there's a sensor setting for the Auto mode, with 3 different settings: standard/sensitive/extra sensitive. i guess setting it to sensitive makes it more likely to dedect dirty water, am i right? which one do y'all suggest?
i knew this was a bit lengthy, but there's no other forum that can help me about these. thank you guys so much, i will wait for the replies
