Manual of product SMS40D12EU
Editorial note
The Bosch SMS40D12EU dishwasher stands out for its energy efficiency, rated A+ and displaying an energy consumption of only 1.02 kWh per cycle. Its modern and integrated design, with a white finish and built-in display, perfectly harmonizes with most kitchens, adding a touch of elegance. Additionally, it offers practical features thanks to its various washing programs, such as Eco, Pre-wash, and Quick Wash, allowing adaptation to different washing needs. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The absence of the AquaSensor function limits precise water management, and the lack of a remaining time indicator complicates household task planning. Although the noise level of 50 dB is reasonable, it may be perceived as bothersome in very quiet environments. Furthermore, the cycle duration of 195 minutes may seem long for those seeking a quick washing solution, and the limited number of washing programs may not satisfy all users, particularly those with delicate fabrics. Overall, the Bosch SMS40D12EU offers good value for money with notable energy savings, but some shortcomings in terms of features and flexibility may not suit all users. The user manual, comprehensive and well-detailed, ensures optimal use of the appliance.Score details
