Third-party reviews

What we like about Bosch SPS2HKI55E

  • Compact 45 cm slimline design fits perfectly into smaller kitchen spaces.
  • Operates quietly with a 46 dB noise rating and a specialized silence program.
  • Cleans effectively and dries dishes well, including an Extra Dry option for plastic items.
  • Integrated Home Connect app allows for convenient remote control and monitoring.
  • VarioFlex basket system offers flexible loading and optimization of interior space.
  • Built-in AquaStop protection provides reliable security against water leaks.

What we don't like about Bosch SPS2HKI55E

  • Eco and standard washing programs can take a long time to complete.
  • Standard drying phase can leave some residual moisture if rinse aid is not used consistently.
  • Lower energy efficiency grade (Class D under the current labeling system) compared to premium series.
  • Initial setup and pairing with the Home Connect mobile application can occasionally be finicky.

Verdict

The BOSCH SPS2HKI55E is a Serie 2 freestanding slimline dishwasher measuring 45 cm in width, making it ideal for compact spaces while offering a 10-place-setting capacity. Key technical specifications include a D energy efficiency class rating, an eco program water consumption of 8.9 liters per cycle, an energy absorption of 67 kWh per 100 cycles, and a moderate noise level of 46 dB. Main performance characteristics include Home Connect Wi-Fi connectivity for smart remote app management, an EcoSilence Drive inverter motor, a flexible VarioFlex basket system, and a lifetime AquaStop leak protection system. Notable pros include its convenient space-saving design, quiet operation, and reliable cleaning performance backed by automatic programs and an Extra Drying heat exchanger option. Conversely, its primary cons are a relatively low D-class energy rating according to modern metrics and a long eco cycle runtime of 4 hours and 35 minutes.
