Verdict

The Bosch SMS2HTI06E is a 60 cm freestanding Serie 2 dishwasher with a 13 place setting capacity, featuring a modern anti-fingerprint stainless steel design and operating at a quiet 46 dB noise level. Powered by an EcoSilence Drive motor, its main pros include smart remote control via the Home Connect app, a dedicated Extra Dry option for plastic items, water efficiency consuming just 9 liters per cycle, and a flexible height-adjustable top basket. However, it belongs to energy efficiency class C (on the A to G scale), lacks an integrated third-rack cutlery drawer, and can take up to 295 minutes to complete its full Eco cycle.
