> Yeah the eco mode takes 3 hours by default, but press "Vario Speed" and is done in 1:05h with the exact same result.

I wonder about people complaining about this - whether it takes 1 hour or 3 hours, are you sitting in your kitchen waiting for the dishwasher to complete? Put it on after a meal and next time you're in the kitchen it will be done...

I mean, it's nice to have an option for a quick programme when you have guests over and actually it's good to do a couple loads in a single day. But yes overnight I don't care, it can take 6 hours and I wouldn't mind.

Time it to finish when you get up and it will release a lot of warm (humid) air to help you warm up your house

It's on a timer anyway because we have cheap electricity from 00:30-04:30, so I just run it alongside all the other appliances within thouse hours(and charge our car too).

Honestly my only complaint is that my Bosch dishwasher's beep cannot be disabled. If I start it late, the damn thing wakes me up in the middle of the night.

I've seriously considered taking it apart to remove the buzzer.

A quick DuckDuckGo search for “bosch dishwasher turn off beep” comes up with some promising results.

I cook a large meal for family maybe and bake some desert and then rest of the days build up and it's full. Put it on the 3hr cycle and by the time dinner is finished there is a while new load to go in, which has to sit around until it is complete (still 1.5 hour to go after we finish eating)
