Editorial note
The Bosch SMS40C12EU dishwasher stands out for its energy efficiency, displaying an A+ rating and a water consumption of only 11.7 L per cycle, which helps reduce energy and water bills. Its advanced features, such as delayed start and automatic detergent detection, enhance the user experience by providing convenient and personalized use. Additionally, its integrated design and white finishes add a touch of elegance to your kitchen. However, some drawbacks should be noted. Despite satisfactory washing performance, the model only has four programs, which may not suit users with varied textile needs. The capacity of 12 place settings may be insufficient for large families, leading to more frequent washes. Furthermore, the weight of 44 kg may complicate installation for some individuals, and the noise level of 48 dB could be perceived as slightly high in open spaces. In terms of ergonomics and sturdiness, the Bosch SMS40C12EU offers adjustable baskets and an adjustable basket height, making it easier to use, while the AquaStop function ensures enhanced safety against leaks. The user manual, comprehensive and well-structured, facilitates the handling of the appliance. Overall, the Bosch SMS40C12EU represents good value for money, but it is important to consider its limitations in terms of capacity and washing programs to ensure it meets the specific needs of your household.Score details
