You have a 1/2 series when you’re young. Then progress into a 3/4/5 series as middle age approaches and you have kids. Then you have a mid life crisis and get a 6 series. Then before you know it you’re an old fart in a 7 series.

I've also just done a comparison.
The Series 6 has £100 cash back. In addition to the superior features, it's made in Germany as opposed to Poland, is quieter (at 44dB vs 48dB), takes 14 as opposed to 12 place settings, and is more energy efficient to boot. At today's electricity rates, the £205 price delta is completely wiped out by this energy efficiency delta in only 77yrs & 3months.

I do the same but with series 2. It's a dishwasher, I don't need it to project the time on the floor!
Pfft - you think you don’t, but once you’ve experienced the thrill of floor projection….
now that you mention it, I do like the little red dot that is projected... maybe I would like more...

Ours is a Bosch also. Bosch/Neff/Siemens are all the same. However, there are slight variations in available size options so worth checking out all 3. There was a Neff equivalent of the XL one that we have but naturally it cost more. Specs were exactly the same.
Well, there you go. It turns out they're so similar that our Bosch is actually a Neff
No time remaining floor display though sadly. We've the projected red dot though. Useful given how quiet it is and how I'll quite often forget whether I actually put it on or just put the tablet in and forgot...

Oh yeah, the floor display is a complete gimmick

And find yourself using it more than you thought you would

Do they do a free-standing series 6? Literally too tired to Google it myself. Also, had dodgy chicken for dinner.

Sorry to disappoint, but we've yet to buy it. Old one decided to start working again, so purchase has been postponed.

I was cursing you a couple of weeks back as our shitey dishwasher was acting up. The door opens at the end of the drying cycle, and it was refusing to latch closed again. Resetting and powering it down didn't work. I had to do a 12 minute rinse cycle whilst holding the door closed with my manly strength, but I wasn't sure that would work, so I was simultaneously pricing up one of those (whilst fretting about @Rich B ripping into me for such extravagance )
Luckily my cunning plan forced the latch to reset.
So I have "saved money". But I still have a shitey dishwasher.

We can be shitey-dishwasher-fwends? Although it feels a tad unfair to be cursed for the malfunctioning of an appliance that I've never seen, touched or been within a 100 miles of.

Fucking peasants.
Ah no. The fucking-peasants-fwends are another group altogether. I think they've got different membership requirements.

@mik I feel like Croesus! Bosch series 6 installed and running. No more washing up by hand for me (except the large pots/pans, knives, fancy glasses and other items that aren't deemed dishwasher suitable by management).

I was looking at induction hobs recently, Bosch 6 series vs 8 series. The only difference is the latter connects to your iPhone and costs £250 more

how useful. I'm going to turn on my hob with my phone... of course I have to walk over and put the pot on, then I watch it whilst it's cooking... but it's nice to be able to turn it on with my phone for £250!

Had the same convo with SJ about coffee machines. What's the point in being able to operate it from an app on your phone when you need to physically place a mug under the outlet first.
