Rank #4 in Best Freestanding Dishwasher 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Numbers That Disagree
Bosch Series 4 SMS4EMW06G Freestanding Dishwasher, White
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.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Very quiet and really clean. Important to ensure the top rack has spaces for the jets to reach the cutlery tray above. If you lower the height of the top rack, you cannot put large plates on the bottom rack so ensure you can rotate the spray arm. Get used to stacking it properly. Love the cutlery tray and c the 5 star wash.”
Verified purchase“We love this machine. The cutlery drawer is a great idea as a basket often holds some water even after drying. The different programs mean you can put in half loads, or wash intensive stuff or go economical. The best bit we've found is the ability to start it going after we've set off on a journey by the app. We always forget to set it going before we leave the house so to be able to set it going and have it ready for our return from shopping etc is such a boon. It's a brilliant machine which I wouldn't part with now and is worth every penny.”
