Third-party reviews

What customers like about Bosch SMV6ECX23E

  • Thirteen place settings fit a family meal in one run.
  • 6.7 L of water per cycle keeps water use low.
  • At 42 dB it is quiet enough to run in the evening.
  • The door opens on its own at the end, so dishes dry faster.
  • Washing and drying both reach class A.
  • Overflow protection guards against leaks.

What customers don't like about Bosch SMV6ECX23E

  • There is no pause option, so a forgotten plate waits for the next cycle.
  • There is no hygiene programme for a sanitising wash.
  • Energy class D and 0.836 kWh per cycle mean higher power use than efficient models.
  • Thirteen place settings make it large for a small kitchen.

Verdict

Families that cook and host often need room, and the Bosch SMV6ECX23E holds 13 place settings in one full-size machine. Its strongest point is water use: 6.7 L per cycle is a low figure for a machine this size. It runs at 42 dB, so a kitchen stays calm during an evening wash, and the quiet wash programme keeps noise down further. The door opens by itself at the end, which helps the dishes dry faster and keeps steam out of the kitchen. Washing and drying both reach class A. It also has Wi-Fi. The trade-off is that there is no pause option, so a forgotten plate has to wait for the next cycle. It suits a family that wants a large, quiet machine that uses little water.
