Editorial note
The Bosch SMI68M85EU dishwasher stands out with its generous capacity of 14 place settings, making it an ideal choice for large families and those who enjoy entertaining.

However, the cycle duration of 195 minutes may seem a drawback for those seeking quick solutions.

The integrated design and stainless steel finish add a modern touch to your kitchen, although its weight of 43 kg may complicate installation. Ergonomics are enhanced by features such as the dosage assistant and child safety, making it intuitive to use. However, some users may wish for more specific programs for particular needs, such as intensive pot washing. Finally, the user manual is comprehensive, but additional online support would be an asset to facilitate product handling. In summary, the Bosch SMI68M85EU is a high-performing and stylish dishwasher, well-suited to the needs of families, despite a few minor limitations.Score details
