The Bosch SMS26AW08G is a Series 2 freestanding dishwasher in white that focuses on the features families use every day. It is part of the current Bosch promotion at S&D Ireland.
Flexible size
The SMS26AW08G is a full size 60cm model, 845mm high, 600mm wide and 600mm deep. It is designed to stand on its own, but it can also be built under a worktop by removing the top, which is handy if you plan to refit your kitchen later. It holds 12 place settings, and the height adjustable top basket makes room for tall glasses or larger plates.
Programmes for every load
Six programmes cover everything from everyday loads to heavily soiled pans. Eco is the efficient everyday choice, Auto 45 to 65°C adjusts the cycle to how dirty the dishes are, and Intensive tackles baked on food. There is also a Quick 65°C wash, a Pre Rinse to hold dishes until you have a full load, and a Night or Silence programme for running the machine late in the evening.
Useful options
VarioSpeed Plus shortens cycle times, HygienePlus finishes with a higher temperature rinse for extra cleanliness, and Extra Dry improves drying for plastics. ActiveWater and AquaSensor manage water use intelligently, so the dishwasher uses only what it needs and rinses more thoroughly when the water is dirty. Button suspension locks the controls as a child safety feature.
Quiet and reliable
Bosch's SilentPowerDrive brushless motor drives the wash pump quietly and efficiently, and the dishwasher runs at 46dB. It uses around 92kWh per 100 cycles and 9.5 litres of water on Eco, giving it an E energy rating.
Worth knowing
This model keeps things simple, so it does not include app control or AquaStop. On a freestanding dishwasher, where the hoses are easy to see and check, that is less of a concern than on a built in model.
Our verdict
The Bosch SMS26AW08G is a dependable family dishwasher with a practical choice of programmes, quiet running and the flexibility to be built under later. It is straightforward, well made and part of the current promotion, which makes it a sensible buy.
