What we like about Bosch SMI2HTS02E

  • Efficient cleaning performance across multiple temperature cycles (45°C to 70°C)
  • Extra Dry function optimizes drying results on tough items like plastics
  • Quiet operations utilizing the EcoSilence Drive motor (46 dB)
  • Smart home convenience via the Home Connect application for remote control
  • Loading flexibility with a height-adjustable top basket for taller dishes
  • Sleek and easy-to-clean brushed steel control panel design

What we don't like about Bosch SMI2HTS02E

  • Energy efficiency rating sits at Class D
  • Eco program cycle has a lengthy runtime of approximately 4 hours and 30 minutes
  • Limited capacity (13 place settings) compared to larger premium variants
  • Fewer advanced washing options or dedicated zone controls found in higher Series models

Verdict

The Bosch SMI2HTS02E Serie 2 is a 60cm semi-integrated dishwasher featuring a 13 place setting capacity, a 46 dB noise level, and Class D energy efficiency with a consumption rate of 84 kWh per 100 cycles and 9 liters of water per Eco cycle. Key pros include smart remote control via the Home Connect app with a Silence on Demand feature, a height-adjustable top basket, an Extra Dry option for plastic items, and full AquaStop water leak protection. However, notable cons include its more basic Polinox plastic-base tub composition rather than a full stainless steel interior, and the lack of a dedicated top cutlery drawer, relying instead on a traditional bottom basket.
