The Bosch SMS6HMI00I is engineered for 15 place settings, making it a high-capacity solution within its 60 cm wide brushed steel frame. It operates at a low 42 dB noise level, significantly quieter than standard appliances, while consuming only 9 litres of water per standard cycle. The machine provides 6 programs: Eco 50°C, Auto 45-65°C, Intensive Kadhai for greasy pots, Glass 40°C for delicates, Express 65°C, and a Pre-rinse function. Its 3-rack system features Rackmatic height adjustment and an Extra Clean Zone in the upper basket for concentrated water flow. Users manage the 1040W unit via physical buttons and an LED panel, or remotely through the Home Connect app. Built with a 50.7 kg stainless steel body, it includes safety features like Leak Protection and a Child Lock, alongside a Heat Exchanger that prevents thermal shock to sensitive dishes. The IntensiveZone and HygienePlus features allow for customized cleaning intensity and sanitization across its 15 place setting interior.
