Manual of product SMU46IS04E
Editorial note
The Bosch SMU46IS04E dishwasher stands out for its high energy efficiency, with an A+++ rating and a water consumption of only 9.5 L per cycle. These features significantly reduce energy and water bills, a definite advantage for environmentally conscious households. Its modern stainless steel design adds a touch of elegance to any kitchen, and the integrated display along with intuitive controls make it easy to use. However, some aspects may pose a problem. The cycle time of 235 minutes may seem long for those who prioritize quick washes, and the noise level of 44 dB, while reasonable, could be perceived as intrusive in very quiet environments. Additionally, its weight of 39.9 kg may complicate installation, potentially requiring the help of another person. Finally, although the appliance offers six wash programs, some users may find this selection insufficient for their specific needs, and its purchase cost may be high compared to other models on the market. Overall, the user experience is positive thanks to its advanced features, such as automatic detergent detection, and its storage flexibility with the adjustable top basket and VarioFlex system. Despite some drawbacks, the Bosch SMU46IS04E remains a solid option for those seeking a high-performing and aesthetically pleasing dishwasher.Score details
