Editorial note

The Bosch SMS40M42EU dishwasher stands out for its energy efficiency with an A+ rating, allowing for savings on water and electricity bills. Its flexibility of use is a major asset, particularly thanks to the delayed start function of up to 24 hours, which perfectly adapts to busy schedules. Additionally, enhanced safety features such as the AquaStop system and child safety provide valuable peace of mind. However, some drawbacks must be taken into account. Weighing 50 kg, installation can be challenging, especially for a single person. The cycle duration of 175 minutes may also seem long for those who need clean dishes quickly. Although its noise level of 46 dB is reasonable, it can be slightly high in a quiet environment. Furthermore, the limited number of washing programs (4) may not meet the specific needs of users, and the choice of plastic for the tub raises questions about its long-term durability. In summary, the Bosch SMS40M42EU offers good value for money with useful features and well-thought-out ergonomics. However, users should be aware of its limitations in terms of washing cycle and materials. It is a wise choice for those who prioritize energy efficiency and safety.
