Third-party reviews

What customers like about Bosch SMV4HTX27G

  • At 33.3 kg it is easier to pull out for cleaning.
  • The interior light shows what is inside the tub.
  • A delicate programme handles fragile glasses.
  • Overflow protection stops the water if the tub overfills.
  • Wi-Fi lets you start a cycle from your phone.
  • The adjustable water softener suits hard water.

What customers don't like about Bosch SMV4HTX27G

  • Energy class E and 0.923 kWh per cycle mean high power use.
  • At 48 dB it is noticeable in an open-plan kitchen.
  • The quick wash takes 60 min, which is slow for a small top-up load.
  • 12 place settings is small for a big household.
  • There is no automatic door opening, so steam stays inside after a cycle.

Verdict

At 33.3 kg, the Bosch SMV4HTX27G is light for a full-size dishwasher, and easier to pull out for cleaning. An interior light shows what is inside the tub, and a delicate programme handles fragile glasses. It also has overflow protection and Wi-Fi, so you can start a cycle from your phone. There are four wash temperatures, up to 70 °C, and a half load option for small loads. The trade-off is energy and noise: 0.923 kWh per cycle, and 48 dB while it runs. It holds 12 place settings, enough for a small family, and the quick wash takes 60 min. It suits a buyer who wants an easy-to-move machine with a lit interior and does not mind a slower, louder wash.
