Bosch lists 11 litres of water per Eco AU wash, 245 kWh of annual energy use under a specified test-use pattern, and a 44 dB(A) noise rating. Its flexible racks and Wi-Fi features look useful on paper, but the available model information does not establish independent cleaning or drying results. It is worth considering if its dimensions, Australian electrical fit and loading layout suit your kitchen.

Bosch’s Australian specification sheet states 11 litres per wash on the Eco AU program. It gives annual energy use as 245 kWh when that program is used seven times per week, with a cold-water connection and the stated test standard. Treat the annual figure as a standardised estimate under those conditions, not a prediction for every household; actual use depends on program choice and how often the dishwasher runs.
#1 Best Overall
- Read Before You Buy — No Video Output: These adapters support charging and USB 2.0 data transfer, but cannot transmit video signals. Except for standard USB webcams (which use USB data only), they are not compatible with HDMI/DisplayPort cables, video-capable USB-C hubs, or docking stations with video output.
- Convert USB-A Ports to USB-C: Designed to connect USB-C earphones, cables, flash drives, card readers, and other USB-C accessories to standard USB-A ports. Plug-and-play with no drivers or software required.
- Aluminum Alloy Housing: Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy shell that aids in heat dissipation and protects against daily wear and scratches. Designed to maintain a stable and secure connection.
- Compact & Travel-Friendly: The ultra-compact design allows the adapter to stay plugged into your device without blocking adjacent ports or adding bulk, reducing wear and tear on your original USB ports.
- 12-Month Warranty: Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. Designed to meet strict quality control standards for reliable everyday performance.
Will it fit under a bench?
Bosch describes the appliance as freestanding with a built-under possibility. Its listed dimensions are 845 mm high, 600 mm wide and 600 mm deep. Measure the available opening and allow for the door, hoses, plug access and installation clearances; the nominal width and depth alone do not confirm a fit. Check the current installation instructions and have a qualified installer assess the site where needed. The specification sheet lists a 220–240 V, 50/60 Hz supply and a 2400 W connection rating.
How flexible is the loading layout?
The 15-place-setting capacity is supported by several adjustable loading features. Bosch lists a VarioDrawer third level for smaller items, an upper basket with three-level RackmaticPlus height adjustment, foldable racks and a movable cutlery basket. Extra Clean Zone nozzles are positioned in the upper basket. These features add loading options, but their presence does not by itself prove better cleaning than competing models.

Which programs and options are included?
The specification sheet lists eight programs: Eco Wash, Auto Wash, Auto Gentle, Pots & Pans, Quick 1h, Express wash, ExtraQuiet and Favourite. It also lists Machine Care. The four special options are Remote Start, Extra Dry, HygienePlus and SpeedPerfect. Extra Dry extends drying time; Bosch describes the drying system as heat-exchanger-assisted condensation drying. No independent drying or noise test results are established here, so the 44 dB figure should be read as a rated specification rather than a guarantee of how noticeable it will sound in a particular kitchen.
What does Wi-Fi add?
Home Connect enables app-based functions, including Remote Start after setup. You will need the app, suitable Wi-Fi reception and configured appliance settings. Bosch’s manual says Home Connect availability depends on the country, so confirm that the service is available where you live and follow the manual’s setup and remote-start requirements. Connectivity is an extra convenience, not a prerequisite for using the dishwasher’s listed wash programs.

What is known about its independent test performance?
CHOICE has a page titled “Bosch SMS6HCB01A review” and identifies Denis Gallagher as a senior project officer working on dishwasher testing. The accessible page information does not provide this model’s score, test results, publication date or verdict. That is not enough to claim CHOICE recommends or rejects the dishwasher. The specifications above therefore support an assessment of fit and features, not a verdict on independently measured cleaning performance.
What should you check before buying?
- Confirm the exact SMS6HCB01A Australian model and AU plug, and check its installation requirements against your kitchen.
- Measure the opening and verify clearance for the appliance, door, hoses and electrical access.
- Decide whether the third loading level, adjustable upper basket and extra upper-basket spray zone suit the items you wash.
- Check current availability, delivery, installation, warranty terms and local Home Connect service before ordering; these can vary over time and by location.
- For replacement parts, use the appliance’s full identification details to match the correct component.
Care and ownership
Bosch’s user manual recommends rinse aid for optimum drying and detergent intended for domestic dishwashers. Bosch also identifies AquaStop Plus as lifetime anti-flood protection; treat that as the manufacturer’s stated feature and check the applicable terms for its scope. Model support and spare-parts information are available through Bosch, where the full appliance identification details can help ensure a match.
