Manual of product SMU4ECS21E
Editorial note
The Bosch SMU4ECS21E dishwasher stands out for its many attractive features, such as its capacity of 14 place settings, making it ideal for families or group meals. Its heat exchanger drying system ensures effective results while maintaining a very reasonable noise level of 42 dB, allowing for pleasant use in open living spaces. Additionally, the six available wash programs allow each cycle to be tailored to the specific needs of textiles, ensuring optimal cleanliness. Safety is also a priority with the AquaStop function, which prevents water leaks. However, this model has some drawbacks. The lack of Wi-Fi connectivity limits remote control options, a feature that is increasingly sought after. Furthermore, although the noise level is acceptable, it could be perceived as bothersome during intensive cycles. The duration of a 215-minute cycle may seem long for some users, and the weight of 39.5 kg could complicate its installation. Finally, the energy efficiency class B, while adequate, could lead to slightly higher energy costs in the long run. Overall, the Bosch SMU4ECS21E scores well in several categories, particularly in design, with a score of 85, and in features, where it reaches 88. Its user experience is rated positively, with a score of 82, thanks to practical features like the remaining time indicator and the self-cleaning filter. However, the lack of modern connectivity and limited support could hinder some expectations of users looking for more advanced technologies.Score details
