Quiet and effective
Great dishwasher. I'm not sure about the cutlery rack - it's impossible to fit wine glasses on the top rack as they get stuck on the cutlery rack. Other than that, it's perfect. I could always take it out. Good number of cycles and it is very, very quiet which is perfect for my space.

My first Bosch dishwasher
I did a lot of research before I settled onto the Series 4 Bosch dishwasher purchased at the Good Guys I am absolutely delighted with my purchase and I have been using it for the last 3 weeks I was happy with the price I paid as well as the promotion received

Awesome dishwasher you can rely on
I’ve been using the Bosch Series 4 dishwasher for a while now, and overall it has been a great purchase. The build quality feels solid, and for the price, the value is excellent. It cleans dishes extremely well — even tougher stains come out spotless without needing to pre‑wash. I chose the black finish, and it looks sleek and modern in my kitchen. It also runs very quietly, which is one of the features I appreciate the most. You barely notice it’s on, even during longer cycles. If there’s one area that could be improved, it would be the exterior design and the indicator light/buttons. They work perfectly fine, but the styling feels a bit dated compared to the rest of the machine. A more modern, refined look would make it even better. Overall, the Bosch Series 4 is a high‑quality, great value dishwasher with excellent cleaning performance and whisper‑quiet operation. With a small update to the exterior design, it would be close to perfect.

Pathetic
Bought this Bosch Silence Series 4 dishwasher in late May. By the end of August it completely stopped working, all lights stay on and the cycle never starts. To even get support, you have to hunt for the hidden typeplate inside the door just to find the E‑Nr and FD numbers. My previous cheaper dishwasher from a lesser-known brand lasted 7 years without any issues. Very disappointed that a premium brand failed so quickly.

Nice, quiet efficient Dishwasher
We replaced a SMEG dishwasher which was whiney and quite loud. This Bosch is so quiet you have to check it's on. It doesn't trigger the water hammer in the pipes like the old one either.

At a glance
This Bosch Series 4 freestanding dishwasher is a strong mid-range choice for medium to large households wanting quiet performance, flexible loading and smart app control. It handles up to 14 place settings, offers practical everyday wash programs and uses 13.5L per cycle with a 4 star WELS rating. The main limitation is that it lacks the more advanced rack systems and ultra-quiet performance found in premium models.
What it’s great for
- Family dishwashing
- Everyday kitchen clean-up
- Mixed loads of plates and glassware
- Open-plan living
Where it works best
- Family homes
- Open-plan kitchens
- Medium to large households
- Standard kitchen spaces
Who it’s for
- Families
- Busy households
- Homeowners
- Renovators seeking a freestanding dishwasher
Things to consider
It offers strong everyday performance and smart features, but premium dishwashers may provide quieter operation, more specialised wash options and more advanced basket flexibility.
Family use suitability
High - 14 place settings, flexible loading options and practical everyday programs make it a good fit for medium to large families.
Energy efficiency score
8/10 - 4 star energy rating with estimated annual energy consumption of 230kWh gives it solid efficiency for a full-size freestanding model.
Ease of loading rating
8/10 - adjustable top basket, foldable racks and a moveable cutlery basket support flexible loading for mixed dishes and larger items.
Noise level vs category average
7/10 - at 46dB it is quietly suited to most homes, though not as silent as premium low-noise dishwashers.
Installation flexibility
High - freestanding design and standard 60cm format make it suitable for many existing kitchen spaces without built-in cabinetry requirements.
Key benefits
- 14 Place Settings: Washes larger daily loads in one cycle, making it well suited to medium to large households.
- 46dB Operation: Runs quietly enough to suit open-plan homes and evening use with less disruption.
- Adjustable Top Basket: Makes it easier to fit taller glasses, plates and awkward items when load sizes vary.
- Foldable Racks: Helps create more usable space for larger cookware and mixed load types.
- Six Wash Programs: Lets you choose from Eco Wash, Auto Wash, Pots & Pans, Quick 1 hour, Glass Wash and Favourite to better match each load.
- Heat Exchanger Drying: Dries dishes gently, helping protect delicate items such as glassware.
- Home Connect: Enables app-based control and status updates from a compatible device for added convenience.
- 4 Star WELS Rating: Uses 13.5L per wash cycle, offering solid water efficiency for everyday family use.
Q: Will this dishwasher fit under a standard kitchen benchtop?
A: Yes, in many standard kitchen spaces. The freestanding cabinet is 60cm wide and 845mm high, so it suits common dishwasher cavities, but door swing, hose routing and any skirting in front of the opening still need checking.
Q: Is 46dB quiet enough for an open-plan kitchen area?
A: Yes. Bosch SMS4HVB01A runs at 46dB, which is quiet enough for many open-plan homes and evening cycles without dominating the room. It is still not the near-silent level some premium dishwashers aim for.
Q: Can the top basket move to fit taller plates below?
A: Yes. The adjustable top basket helps create more space for taller items in the lower rack, which is useful for dinner plates, serving pieces or stemware. Basket changes still involve a trade-off, so very bulky items may need load rearranging.
Q: Does Home Connect let you start and monitor cycles remotely?
A: Yes. Home Connect allows app-based control and status updates from a compatible device, so you can start a cycle or check progress away from the dishwasher. Dishes still need to be loaded and detergent added before you leave.
Q: How well does the drying system handle plastics and glassware?
A: Bosch SMS4HVB01A uses Heat Exchanger drying, which is designed to dry dishes gently and be kinder to delicate glassware. Plastics can still come out with some residual moisture, so they may need a quick wipe or extra airing before stacking away.
Q: Can it replace an older 60cm freestanding dishwasher easily?
A: Yes, in many cases. Bosch SMS4HVB01A is a freestanding 60cm model, so it suits many existing dishwasher spaces without built-in cabinetry changes. Check the cavity height, plus hose and door clearance, before replacing an older unit.
