BOSCH SMU4EVS08E Dishwasher: Review and Prices

Third-party reviews

What we like about Bosch SMU4EVS08E

  • Excellent energy efficiency with a B energy rating
  • Highly effective cleaning performance and thorough hygiene cycles
  • Very quiet operation at 44 decibels with an extra silence mode
  • EfficientDry feature automatically opens the door to improve drying
  • Flexible loading with a third-level cutlery drawer and height-adjustable top rack
  • Convenient remote monitoring and program downloads via the Home Connect app
  • Reliable AquaStop flood protection pre-installed

What we don't like about Bosch SMU4EVS08E

  • Interior tub has a plastic/Polinox base rather than being fully stainless steel
  • Drying performance can be underwhelming for plastic items
  • Lacks an IntensiveZone feature for baked-on, stubborn pot stains
  • The cutlery tray and upper rack mechanisms can feel slightly flimsy or unstable
  • Smartphone app connectivity can occasionally drop or lose sync
  • Eco program cycle takes nearly 4 hours to complete

Verdict

The Bosch SMU4EVS08E is a Series 4 under-counter 60cm dishwasher featuring a brushed stainless steel front, a 14 place setting capacity, and an efficient Class B energy rating consuming 65 kWh per 100 cycles and 9.0 liters of water per Eco cycle. Its main characteristics include 6 wash programs, an EcoSilence Drive inverter motor operating at a quiet 44 dB, a VarioFlex basket layout with a dedicated VarioDrawer cutlery level, and smart Wi-Fi connectivity via the Home Connect app. Major pros highlight the EfficientDry automatic door opening system that maximizes air drying, a SpeedPerfect+ option that slashes cycle times by up to 75%, and a highly hygienic 70°C Intensive program. However, notable cons include an interior tub partially made of plastic (Polinox base) rather than full stainless steel, and the absence of an IntensiveZone spray zone, which may require users to manually scrub away stubborn, heavily baked-on food residue beforehand.
