Editorial note

The Bosch SMS40E12EU dishwasher stands out for its remarkable washing and drying performance, with an A class that guarantees impeccable dishes. Its use is facilitated by a clear interface, and the AquaStop feature offers peace of mind by preventing water leaks. Additionally, its modern white design integrates harmoniously into various kitchen styles while optimizing space. However, a few drawbacks are worth mentioning. The lack of a quick wash program may be a hindrance for those seeking express cleaning. Similarly, although the noise level of 48 dB is reasonable, it could be perceived as a bit high in open living spaces. The delayed start limited to 24 hours and the absence of the AquaSensor function may also restrict usage flexibility for some users. Finally, the limited number of wash programs, only four, may not meet all specific cleaning needs. Overall, the Bosch SMS40E12EU represents good value for money, combining efficiency and modernity, but could benefit from a greater number of features to satisfy a diverse clientele.
