Third-party reviews

What we like about Bosch SKS62E38EU Series 4

  • Compact countertop design that fits easily in kitchens with limited space.
  • Excellent cleaning performance, especially when using the intensive 70°C program.
  • Very quiet operation thanks to the EcoSilence Drive motor.
  • Surprisingly spacious interior for a compact model, easily accommodating large plates.
  • Useful Extra Dry and glass care options to prevent water marks.
  • Features a clear digital LED display showing remaining cycle time.

What we don't like about Bosch SKS62E38EU Series 4

  • Limited capacity (6 place settings), making it less practical for larger families or bulky pots and pans.
  • Drying performance on plastic items can sometimes leave them slightly damp.
  • Lack of a top sprayer arm can occasionally result in missed spots on items placed near the top.
  • The unremovable, bulky inlet hose requires a large hole to be drilled through countertops during installation.
  • Cutlery basket design can feel cramped and difficult to load due to the low ceiling height.

Verdict

The Bosch SKS62E38EU Series 4 is a compact, freestanding countertop dishwasher measuring 45 cm high, 55.1 cm wide, and 50 cm deep, designed with an anti-fingerprint brushed steel exterior. It features a 6-place-setting capacity and consumes 8 liters of water per cycle alongside 61 kWh of electricity per 100 cycles under its standard Eco program. Driven by an EcoSilence Drive motor, it offers 6 wash programs (including Intensive 70°C, Auto 45-65°C, and Glass 40°C) and 2 special functions (VarioSpeed and Extra Dry), backed by lifetime AquaStop flood protection and a 7-segment digital display. Main pros include its space-saving tabletop format, flexible load sensing that auto-adjusts consumption, and a reliable brushless motor, while its main cons are a restrictive interior space for larger cookware, a low EU Class F energy rating, and a relatively high 49 dB operating noise level.
