Editorial note

The Bosch SMI46IB03E dishwasher stands out for its high energy efficiency, displaying an A++ class with a consumption of only 0.92 kWh per cycle. This not only helps reduce electricity bills but also minimizes environmental impact. Its integrated and modern design, combined with a black control panel and an LED display, harmoniously fits into various interiors while offering intuitive use. Additionally, the flexibility of use is a major asset thanks to the adjustable height of the upper basket and a choice of 6 washing programs suitable for different types of dishes. However, some drawbacks should be noted. The noise level of 44 dB, while reasonable, may be perceived as a bit high in quiet environments. Furthermore, the cycle duration of 210 minutes may seem long for those seeking a quick wash. The capacity of 13 place settings, while sufficient for an average family, may not be suitable for larger households or those who frequently host guests. Finally, the button-based control system may not satisfy users who prefer modern touch interfaces, and the weight of 41 kg can make installation and moving more difficult. Overall, the Bosch SMI46IB03E offers good value for money, with advanced features such as AquaStop and AquaSensor safety. While the provided documentation is adequate, additional information on the washing programs would be beneficial to enhance the user experience.
