Manual of product SMU40D12SK
Editorial note
The Bosch SMU40D12SK stands out for its energy efficiency, displaying an A+ rating and a reduced water consumption of 14 L per cycle, which helps minimize bills while preserving the environment. Its integrated design, with an elegant white finish, easily harmonizes with different kitchen styles, bringing a modern touch to your interior. Additionally, the flexibility of use is ensured by adjustable baskets and a well-thought-out cutlery compartment. However, this model has some drawbacks. The lack of an adjustable upper basket height may restrict the arrangement of items, and although its noise level of 52 dB is reasonable, it could be perceived as slightly loud in open spaces. Furthermore, the limited number of washing programs (four) and the absence of advanced features, such as a delayed start, may disappoint users looking for more customization. Finally, the cycle duration of 210 minutes may seem long for some. In terms of user experience, the Bosch SMU40D12SK offers an intuitive interface with practical features, although some options are lacking for an even more personalized use. Support is adequate thanks to a comprehensive user manual, but access to additional online resources would be a plus. Overall, this dishwasher represents good value for money, balancing its strengths and limitations.Score details
