Verdict

The Bosch SMV2HVX22E is a 60 cm fully-integrated Series 2 dishwasher featuring a 13 place setting capacity, a 46 dB noise level, and an energy efficiency class D rating that consumes 9.5 liters of water and 84 kWh of electricity per 100 cycles in its Eco mode. Its key advantages include smart Home Connect integration for remote control, a flexible VarioDrawer third cutlery rack, a three-stage Rackmatic height-adjustable top basket, an InfoLight floor beam to signal operational status, and a 2400 W EcoSilence Drive motor with AquaStop leak protection. However, its notable drawbacks include a relatively lower class D energy efficiency rating on the updated A-to-G scale, a lengthy Eco program duration of 5 hours and 20 minutes, an interior tub constructed of a stainless steel and Polinox plastic hybrid rather than full stainless steel, and a maximum delay start timer limited to only 9 hours.
