Thank you, unfortunately the series 6 ones dont have the intensive zone feature which I wanted so will have to go for the SMD8YCX03G series 8 model 🙂

When it comes to testing models they are usually a good 18 months behind as they also test other categories along the way.
Looking at the Bosch site here I personally would stop at series 6 unless you want all the bells and whistles, It’s a good all round range. You can compare models via the compare button which should help you make a decision.

Many thanks Don for your response, after a lot of comparing I think I’ve decided on the Series 8 model, primarily because its the only one that has the intensive zone setting, I had this previously at my old house and found it really improved the performance of the bottom rack.
My only concern from looking at the pictures here: SMD8YCX03G Fully-integrated dishwasher | BOSCH GB (bosch-home.co.uk) is that its got touch buttons with a small screen in the middle, in your experience is this kind of setup reliable? just want to check that that these kind of controls or the screen are not known to fail a lot, it has a 5 year warranty but hoping to get at least 8 years out of it ideally given the price of it.. 🙂
