Verdict

The Bosch SMS2ITI11E Series 2 is a 60 cm freestanding dishwasher in stainless steel featuring a 12 place setting capacity, 5 wash programs, and a quiet 48 dB EcoSilence Drive motor. Its primary characteristics include smart Wi-Fi management via the Home Connect app, a low water consumption rate of 10.5 liters per Eco cycle, and built-in AquaStop leak safety protection. Main pros highlight its efficient ExtraDry option for enhanced drying performance on plastics, a 3/6/9-hour delay start timer, and optimized detergent use via DosageAssist. However, notable cons include its standard E energy efficiency rating and a lengthy 4-hour and 30-minute duration for the Eco wash program.
