Editorial note

The Bosch SMI46AW04E dishwasher stands out for its optimized washing performance, thanks to its six tailored programs that ensure impeccable cleanliness. Additionally, its noise level of only 44 dB allows for pleasant use, even during meals or moments of relaxation. The appliance also distinguishes itself with its water and energy efficiency, with a consumption of 9.5 L of water and 0.9 kWh per cycle, thus helping to reduce bills and environmental impact. However, a few drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. Although the noise level is relatively low, some users may find it too high in open living spaces or during the night. The energy efficiency class E is lower than that of many competing models, which may lead to higher electricity costs in the long run. Furthermore, the cycle duration of 210 minutes may be considered long for those seeking a quick wash. Finally, the weight of 35.165 kg could make installation and moving difficult, especially for a single person, and the limited number of washing programs may not meet all specific user needs. In terms of user experience, most features, such as delayed start and load detection, are convenient and enhance usability flexibility. The modern design of the appliance integrates elegantly into the kitchen, but its weight may pose challenges during installation. The provided documentation is concise and helpful, facilitating understanding and use of the appliance. Overall, the Bosch SMI46AW04E represents a solid option for those looking for a high-performing dishwasher, although some improvements could be considered to fully meet the expectations of all users.
