Verdict

The Bosch SMV4EVX11E is a fully integrated, 60 cm Series 4 dishwasher featuring a 14 place setting capacity, a Polinox base, and a standard dimension profile of 815 x 598 x 550 mm. Operating with an efficient Class B energy rating, it consumes approximately 65 kWh per 100 cycles and just 9.0 liters of water per Eco cycle, running at a quiet 44 dB noise level. Key performance pros include smart Home Connect Wi-Fi integration, flexible Vario baskets with a Rackmatic top rack, an InfoLight floor status indicator, and automated EfficientDry door opening. On the downside, it commands a premium price point compared to entry-level competitors and relies on basic heat exchanger drying which can provide average results on plastics unless the intensive Extra Dry option is activated.
