Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Bosch Series 4 SMS4EMW06G is a freestanding 60 cm dishwasher in white, listed at £599.00 and rated 4.6 out of 5. It sits at number 4 in this guide. The listing gives it 14 place settings, 42 decibels, a height of 84.5 cm and a VarioDrawer cutlery tray on a third level.
It is also the one machine in this guide whose capacity box does what the label says. Elsewhere the settings field is doing another job entirely — 3 on the Bosch Series 2, 5 on the Hoover H-DISH 300, litres of water on the COMFEE' listings. Here, Number of settings reads 14 and the Capacity field reads '14 load', and the two agree, as do the two dimension lines (the bullet says H84.5 × W60 × D60 cm; the spec table says 60D x 60W x 84.5H centimetres). Other numbers in the same listing do not agree: the Model field reads SMS4EMW06G while Model Name reads 3VF341ID/01, and the table files 220 Volts, a 'BEE Star Rating: Yes' and IncludedComponents 'Remote Control' without explaining any of them. The star bars beneath the rating add up to 100 votes, while the listing states 25 ratings.
