Verdict

The Bosch SMI2ITS09E is a 60 cm semi-integrated Serie 2 dishwasher featuring a 13 place setting capacity, a Vario basket system with a cutlery basket, and an EcoSilence Drive inverter motor that operates at a 46 dB noise level. Key advantages include Wi-Fi connectivity via the Home Connect app for remote control and program downloads, a protective AquaStop water safety system, and an Extra Dry option; however, notable drawbacks include its lower E energy efficiency rating (consuming 94 kWh per 100 cycles and 9.5 liters of water per Eco cycle), a basic condenser drying system that struggles with plastics, and a partially plastic interior tub rather than full stainless steel.
