Verdict

The Bosch SMV4HVX00G is a 60cm fully integrated Series 4 dishwasher with a 14 place setting capacity, operating with a 46 dB noise level and consuming 9 liters of water per cycle. Main characteristics and pros include its flexible VarioFlex baskets, a 3rd-level VarioDrawer for cutlery, a height-adjustable Rackmatic top basket, smart functionality via the Home Connect app, an InfoLight floor projection, and an ExtraDry option that improves performance on difficult-to-dry items. However, notable cons include its D energy efficiency rating and long cycle times, with the eco program taking approximately 4.5 hours.
