Verdict

The Bosch SMV4HCX07E Series 4 is a 60 cm, fully-integrated dishwasher featuring a 14-place setting capacity, an EcoSilence Drive motor, and a Class C energy efficiency rating. Main characteristics include a 9-liter water consumption rate per eco cycle, a flexible Flex Basket loading layout with a dedicated VarioDrawer cutlery level, an AquaStop leak protection system, and an InfoLight floor beam indicator. Notable pros are its whisper-quiet operation at 42 dB (Silence Plus), smart Wi-Fi monitoring via the Home Connect app, 3-stage Rackmatic height adjustability, and an ExtraDry feature that uses a heat exchanger for optimized drying. Some cons include a lack of specialized Zeolith crystal drying found in higher-tier models and long cycle durations, with the standard Eco program lasting nearly 5 hours.
