Manual of product SMS40A18GB
Editorial note
The Bosch SMS40A18GB dishwasher stands out with its elegant stainless steel design, which harmoniously integrates into various interiors while adding a modern touch. Its practical features, such as a delayed start of up to 24 hours and AquaSensor technology, optimize the user experience by allowing flexible use and efficient water consumption. With a capacity of 12 place settings, this model is ideal for families and meals with friends. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The noise level of 48 dB, while reasonable, may be perceived as too high in very quiet environments, especially at night. Additionally, the cycle duration of 210 minutes may seem long for those seeking a quick wash. Although it offers four wash programs, this choice may appear limited for specific needs. The weight of 44 kg may also complicate the installation and movement of the appliance. In terms of performance, the Bosch SMS40A18GB receives satisfactory scores, with good value for money thanks to its A+ energy class. However, the annual water consumption of 3300 L could concern those looking to reduce their environmental impact. Overall, this dishwasher represents a solid choice, but it is essential to consider the specifics of your space and your personal preferences before purchasing.Score details
