The Bosch SMU68M25AU is a Series 6, 60 cm stainless-steel built-under dishwasher that Bosch now lists as no longer available in Australia. Its published specifications include 15 place settings, a 42 dB noise rating and a 170-minute Eco reference cycle. For a used-unit buyer or an owner deciding whether to repair, those figures are a starting point—not a guarantee of present-day condition or cleaning performance.
What the SMU68M25AU offers
Bosch’s product information identifies the model as a Series 6 built-under dishwasher. The manufacturer’s specification sheet lists the following figures; they are published specifications, not results from an independent test.

How owners describe it
At the time the listing was checked on 7 October 2026, ProductReview.com.au showed 33 reviews and a score of 3.8. Visible accounts include praise for quiet operation, cleaning and the cutlery drawer, as well as complaints about cleaning results, the exterior finish or faults. These are self-selected owner experiences, not controlled testing or evidence of typical performance; individual appliances may also differ in age and condition. The count and score can change. See the current owner-review listing.
What to check before buying used
- Run a full cycle. Check that it fills, heats, washes, drains and finishes without error indications, leaks or unusual noise. Inspect the door seal and visible interior for damage or heavy deposits.
- Assess cleaning with a realistic load. A short or empty demonstration cannot establish how it handles your usual dishes. Ask about recent cleaning, maintenance and any repair history.
- Inspect the finish and baskets. Look for deterioration, damaged rack parts and drawer or rail problems, especially given the mixed owner reports on finish and performance.
- Check the exact model identity. Match the rating plate’s complete E-Nr, including suffix, to the listing and use it when checking manuals, parts or accessories.
- Budget for service access. Bosch’s support page offers manuals, installation instructions, repair booking and spare-parts lookup. It does not establish current parts stock or the compatibility of every variant-level part.
Use Bosch’s SMU68M25AU support page to find the relevant documentation and lookup tools.

Will it fit a replacement opening?
The Bosch specification sheet gives a niche range of 815–875 mm high by 600 mm wide by 550 mm deep. It lists an open-door depth of 1,150 mm. Measure the cabinet opening and check the installation instructions before committing: a nominal 60 cm width alone does not confirm that the appliance, services and door clearance will work in a particular kitchen.
Repairing it or choosing another dishwasher
Bosch marks the SMU68M25AU no longer available, so a replacement purchase is likely to involve stock already in circulation or a different model. The sources do not establish present retailer stock, repair costs or availability of particular parts. For a repair decision, identify the full E-Nr, describe the fault to a service provider and compare the resulting quote with the condition and age of the appliance.

When comparing a replacement, match the measurement basis rather than relying on headline numbers: check the same program for energy, water and duration, then compare capacity, noise, drying method, basket arrangement, dimensions, warranty and local service/parts access. The published 0.64 kWh figure is per reference program; an older retailer-distributed specification gives 235 kWh annual energy use based on Eco 45°C. Those are different bases and should not be combined as though they were the same measurement.
