Works tolerably well. Quite handy when you want to cancel a program. Smart Start is a good idea to run during off-peak electricity but is clunky to override if you want to run the dishwasher straight away

Program is not very logical and clear and is too complicated and take too much time. Especially when I tried to reconnect appliances 2. Time. I finally reconnected, but only with factory resetting induction plate, reinstalled program, but in system it was still there, which I didn't realize for 30 minutes. Muumuu. Owen was easier to connect. 2 hours in all. Maan, I delivered the Grizly bear!!!

I've never had smart appliances, so I don't really know what to expect, but it's very cool. The actual extra convenience I get with the app is hard to define. I find that I can seldom actually use the app to start my oven; either the app says that Local Operation is taking precedence and the app needs to restart to update, or the recipe for Bacon is missing. The top result for "Bacon" is Bacon wrapped dates, and about 20 different recipes for bread.

Absolutely love my Bosch Series 4 dishwasher! It washes everything beautifully clean and runs quietly. The Wi-Fi connection and Home Connect app are fantastic. Being able to monitor and control the dishwasher anytime, anywhere is so convenient. Highly recommended!

Got a new Bosch washing machine and been unable to connect it to the app. I've disabled 5ghz so only 2.4ghz is showing and still can't find it. Its driving me mad.

If it worked it would be great. Takes multiple efforts to connect, says that it's updated things but then hasn't. But far and a way the worst "feature" has to be the slider for remote settings start time for the oven. It jumps around all over the place, almost impossible to get it onto the right time. Even if you do, it then usually jumps off to something random. Could this be solved by letting users just enter the start time numerically? Yes. Yes it could. Is this option offered? No.

Don't connect your dishwasher to it, the physical buttons stop working, and you can't start out without the app
★★☆☆☆Andreas Arnsberger· Oct 21, 2026
Horrific user experience. Unnecessarily complicated, unreliable and unintuitive. Easy Start is especially prone to just not work or after painstakingly giving input the machine abouts without any indicator why.
