Manual of product SMS40D18EU
Editorial note
The Bosch SMS40D18EU dishwasher stands out with its modern stainless steel design, adding a touch of elegance to your kitchen while harmoniously fitting into your space. With a capacity of 12 place settings, this appliance is ideal for families or gatherings, allowing for the efficient washing of a large amount of dishes at once. Additionally, the AquaStop function ensures safe use by preventing water leaks, which is a major asset for peace of mind during operation. The flexibility of use is also enhanced by the delayed start function, allowing you to schedule the appliance's start according to your preferences. However, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The absence of the AquaSensor function may lead to less optimized water consumption during wash cycles, which could be less environmentally friendly. Furthermore, although the noise level of 50 dB is reasonable, it may be perceived as relatively high in a quiet environment. The energy efficiency class F may also be considered low compared to other models on the market, potentially leading to higher energy costs. Finally, the limited number of wash programs (4) may not be sufficient for users with specific needs or delicate fabrics. In terms of performance, the scores reveal an overall positive user experience, with a rating of 75, although the lack of indication of the remaining time may frustrate some users. The design is particularly well-rated at 85, while the value for money is assessed at 60, highlighting that energy consumption could be improved for better long-term profitability. The provided documentation is adequate but could be enriched with details on the wash programs and their specifics. Overall, the Bosch SMS40D18EU is an appliance that combines aesthetics and functionality, but it may not be suitable for everyone due to certain limitations in efficiency and noise.Score details
