Bosch SMS 2HVI02E stainless steel

The freestanding dishwasher from Bosch is a part of the branded Serie 2 family (entry-level), but on the market as a whole, it is a mid-range solution. The model, with a body width of 60 cm, is designed for 14 place settings, made possible by a modern layout with a third Vario3 pull-out drawer—which accommodates both cutlery and small espresso cups. The unit is equipped with an EcoSilence Drive inverter motor, aimed at increasing operational lifespan and reducing noise levels (in this case, down to 46 dB).

For high drying results, it features a heat exchanger (plus a special feature for intensive drying—ExtraDry). The Bosch SMS 2HVI02E dishwasher supports 6 programs (including self-cleaning MachineCare), with the most useful likely being the automatic wash, where a water purity sensor determines contamination levels and all cycle parameters. Instead of pre-rinsing, you can create your own program.

Additional features include HalfLoad for half loads, SpeedPerfect Plus for faster washing, and a start delay of up to 24 hours. The model’s advantages also include support for Home Connect technology, enabling remote control. The app provides access to all the same functions as the button panel, as well as the activation of several other modes, including HigienaPlus. It is also worth highlighting a water consumption per cycle of just 9 liters and an energy consumption class D (new).
