Verdict

The Bosch SMI2HTB06E is a 60 cm semi-integrated Serie 2 dishwasher featuring a 13 place-setting capacity, an EcoSilence Drive motor operating at a quiet 46 dB, and an energy-efficient Class C rating utilizing 74 kWh per 100 cycles and 9 liters of water per cycle. Its main pros include 5 flexible wash programs (such as Express 65°C and Intensive 70°C), smart Wi-Fi connectivity via the Home Connect app, a lifetime AquaStop leak protection warranty, and an Extra Dry option that optimizes results on hard-to-dry plastic items. However, notable cons include its longer Eco program duration of 4 hours and 55 minutes, a hybrid Polinox polypropylene and stainless steel tub rather than a full premium stainless steel interior, and the lack of a dedicated third cutlery rack, relying instead on a traditional lower-basket cutlery system.
