The Bosch Series 2 SMS26AW08G is a white freestanding dishwasher, 60 cm wide, priced at £399.00 and rated 4.5 out of 5 from 124 ratings. It takes the top spot in this guide, and its own listing is the clearest example of what the guide is about. The product highlight reads "6 programmes, Vario baskets, 4 options, 46dB, 9.5L, 12 place settings, Polinox". The spec table underneath the same listing reads "Number of settings: 3", "Option cycles: 3", and a cycle list of normal, intensive and rinse — three cycles. Six programmes against three settings, four options against three option cycles, in one listing for one machine.

The rating count does not reconcile either. The star breakdown adds up to 100 ratings — 78 five-star, 12 four-star, 2 three-star, 3 two-star and 5 one-star — while the listing states 124 ratings. The highlight also gives a water figure of 9.5L that appears nowhere else in the spec fields. Two numbers do hold together: the height of 84.5 cm sits with every other freestanding machine in this guide at 84.5 to 85 cm, and 46 dB appears both in the highlight and in the noise field. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing; we have not run this machine.
