Manual of product SMS54M42EU
Editorial note
The Bosch SMS54M42EU dishwasher stands out for its energy efficiency with an A++ rating, allowing for savings on bills while being environmentally friendly. Its integrated design in white finish adds a modern and elegant touch to your kitchen, while providing practical use thanks to its LED display and adjustable height of the upper basket. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The cycle duration of 175 minutes may seem long for those who prioritize quick washes, and although the noise level of 46 dB is acceptable, it could be perceived as too high in quiet environments. Additionally, the limited number of wash programs and the cold water filling may not suit all users, especially for stubborn stains. In terms of performance, advanced features like AquaStop and AquaSensor ensure both safety and optimization of water use, enhancing the user experience. The flexibility of use is also a major asset, although the standard weight and dimensions may pose installation issues in smaller kitchens. Overall, the Bosch SMS54M42EU offers good value for money, but it is important to weigh these advantages against its potential drawbacks before making a choice.Score details
