Manual of product SMS40A08GB
Editorial note
The Bosch SMS40A08GB dishwasher stands out with its energy efficiency class A+, which helps reduce electricity costs while being environmentally friendly. Its quick wash feature is particularly appreciated by users in a hurry, just like the integrated LED screen that makes program selection simple and intuitive. Additionally, its capacity of 12 place settings makes it an excellent choice for families or group meals, optimizing washing in one go. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The noise level of 48 dB may be perceived as relatively high in a quiet environment, which could be disturbing during its operation. The cycle duration of 175 minutes may seem long for those seeking a quick wash. Furthermore, although the water consumption per cycle is reasonable, the annual volume of 2640 L could be a disadvantage for users concerned about their water usage. Finally, the weight of 44 kg may make installation difficult without assistance. Regarding writing scores, user experience is highly valued with a score of 85, thanks to the clear and practical interface. Washing performance is good, but the cycle duration receives a score of 78, indicating that improvements could be considered. The integrated and modern design is also well-rated at 82, as is the value for money at 80, which highlights the energy efficiency of the appliance. However, the limited number of washing programs (4) impacts user satisfaction, with a score of 75 in terms of ergonomics. In summary, the Bosch SMS40A08GB is a solid choice for those looking for an efficient and high-performing dishwasher, although it has some limitations in terms of noise and program variety.Score details
