Manual of product SMI68M45EU
Editorial note
The Bosch SMI68M45EU dishwasher stands out for its high energy efficiency with an A++ rating, allowing for savings on electricity and water bills while being environmentally friendly. Its integrated and modern design perfectly blends with the kitchen, offering an enhanced user experience thanks to its intuitive LCD screen. Additionally, practical features such as delayed start and built-in timer provide appreciated flexibility in managing wash cycles. However, some aspects may pose a problem. The noise level of 44 dB, while reasonable, may not suit those looking for a completely silent appliance. The cycle duration of 175 minutes may be considered too long for users in a hurry, and the capacity of 14 place settings may not be sufficient for very large families. Furthermore, the price of this model may seem high compared to other dishwashers offering similar features. Although several wash programs are available, some users may find their choice limited. In terms of performance, the dishwasher offers overall satisfaction, with an A washing and drying class, and the AquaStop safety system ensures peace of mind during use. The user manual, while detailed, could be more concise to facilitate handling. Overall, the Bosch SMI68M45EU is a solid choice for those seeking a high-performing and stylish appliance, despite some limitations to consider.Score details
