Editorial note
The Bosch SMS40D42EU dishwasher stands out for its energy efficiency, displaying an A+ rating and a water consumption of only 14 L per cycle. These features not only help reduce water and electricity bills but also decrease the user's environmental footprint. Its integrated design with a modern white door harmoniously fits into various kitchen styles, thus optimizing the available space. In terms of performance, the Bosch SMS40D42EU offers effective cleaning thanks to its A washing class and multiple programs, such as Eco, Intensive, and Quick. However, the cycle duration of 195 minutes may seem long for some users, which limits the speed of service.

Safety is also a strong point with the AquaStop function, which prevents water leaks and enhances the durability of the appliance. Usability is facilitated by an integrated display and a rotary control system, making the user experience intuitive. However, the noise level of 52 dB could be perceived as relatively high, especially in small spaces. Finally, the user manual, while comprehensive, could benefit from clearer instructions for better understanding. Overall, the Bosch SMS40D42EU is a solid choice for those looking for a high-performing and energy-efficient dishwasher, while keeping in mind its limitations in terms of capacity and cycle time.Score details
