Manual of product SMU68M85EU
Editorial note
The Bosch SMU68M85EU dishwasher stands out with its integrated stainless steel design, which adds a modern and elegant touch to your kitchen. With a capacity of 14 place settings, this appliance is ideal for families or meals with friends, allowing for a large amount of dishes to be washed at once. Its noise level of 42 dB ensures discreet operation, even during quiet hours, and its six varied wash programs cater to the specific needs of each user. However, some drawbacks must be taken into account. Its relatively bulky dimensions may pose installation issues in smaller kitchens. Additionally, the wash cycle duration, which can reach 195 minutes, may seem long for those who need clean dishes quickly. The annual water consumption of 2660 L is also a point to consider, potentially higher than that of some competing models. Finally, while the control buttons are practical, they may seem less modern compared to other touch interfaces available on the market. The writing scores reveal a generally positive user experience, with a rating of 75. The design is particularly appreciated, with a score of 85, while the performance, although satisfactory, receives a score of 70 due to the cycle duration. The value for money is deemed fair with a score of 65, as the initial cost can be a significant investment. In terms of robustness, the model is well-rated at 80, thanks to its safety features like AquaStop. Overall, the Bosch SMU68M85EU represents a solid choice for those seeking an efficient and stylish dishwasher, despite some drawbacks to consider.Score details
