Bosch 13 Place Settings Dishwasher (SMS6ITI00I, Silver Inox),free-standing dishwasher 60 cm Brushed steel anti-fingerprint.

Bosch SMS6ITI00I is a premium, freestanding 60 cm dishwasher that brings advanced German engineering and design to modern kitchens. With a 13 place setting capacity, it’s well-suited for medium to large families. Finished in Silver Inox (brushed steel anti-fingerprint), it combines aesthetics, functionality, and smart features to make dishwashing more efficient, hygienic, and hassle-free.

Design & Build Quality

The first thing you notice about this dishwasher is its sleek and modern Brushed Steel Anti-Fingerprint finish. This not only gives it a premium look but also keeps smudges and fingerprints at bay — a great feature for those who value a clean and polished appearance in the kitchen.

It is freestanding, meaning it can be placed anywhere with a water connection and a power source. This gives homeowners more flexibility in kitchen layout. The 60 cm width makes it a standard-size dishwasher, ideal for fitting under most countertops or alongside kitchen cabinets.

The interior is built with stainless steel, ensuring long-term durability and hygiene. Bosch also includes a flexible rack system, including a height-adjustable upper rack, foldable tines, and a dedicated cutlery basket — making it easy to load everything from pots and pans to delicate glassware.

Capacity & Place Settings

With a 13-place setting capacity, this dishwasher can accommodate dishes used by a family of 4 to 6 people in a single wash cycle. A “place setting” refers to the standardised quantity of items for one person: a dinner plate, dessert plate, soup bowl, glass, tea cup, saucer, and cutlery. The Bosch SMS6ITI00I’s flexibility means you can load plates, bowls, glasses, and utensils in different configurations depending on your needs.

Cleaning Performance & Wash Programs

This model offers 6 wash programs that cover various cleaning needs:

1. Intensive Kadhai (70°C) – Designed especially for Indian households, this cycle tackles heavily soiled pots and pans, including greasy kadhais.

2. Eco (50°C) – An energy-efficient option that uses less water and electricity, suitable for everyday cleaning.

3. Auto (45–65°C) – Automatically detects how dirty the dishes are and adjusts the temperature, water consumption, and cycle time accordingly.

4. Express Sparkle (65°C) – Cleans dishes in about an hour, ideal for lightly soiled loads.

5. Glass (40°C) – A gentle wash for delicate items like wine glasses.

6. Pre-Rinse – Used for rinsing off leftovers without detergent, helpful when you’re not running a full load immediately.

Each wash program is optimized for different needs — ensuring excellent cleaning while conserving resources.

Drying & Hygiene Features

This dishwasher uses Extra Dry and Hygiene Plus functions for enhanced performance. The Extra Dry function raises the temperature during the final rinse and uses an extended drying phase — perfect for plastics and Tupperware.

Hygiene Plus raises the water temperature to kill 99.9% of bacteria, offering peace of mind especially for families with babies or elderly members.

Additionally, Bosch’s EcoSilence Drive motor ensures high performance with minimal noise, typically around 44 dB. This is whisper-quiet, allowing the dishwasher to run even at night without disturbance.

Smart Connectivity – Home Connect

What sets the SMS6ITI00I apart is its Wi-Fi connectivity through Bosch’s Home Connect App. You can control and monitor your dishwasher remotely from your smartphone or tablet. Features include:

• Starting or scheduling a wash cycle.

• Checking program status.

• Receiving notifications and reminders.

• Downloading additional wash programs.

• Troubleshooting via remote diagnostics.

This smart functionality turns your dishwasher into a connected appliance that adapts to your lifestyle.

Water & Energy Efficiency

Bosch dishwashers are known for their efficient use of resources. The SMS6ITI00I uses as little as 9.5 litres of water per wash on Eco mode — significantly less than manual washing. It’s also energy-efficient, helping lower your electricity bills in the long run.

Bosch includes Load Sensor technology, which detects the amount of dishes and adjusts water consumption accordingly. AquaSensor measures how dirty the water is and decides whether more water or detergent is needed.

The appliance is also equipped with AquaStop, a safety system that prevents water leakage by automatically cutting off water flow if it detects a problem — protecting both your appliance and your kitchen.

Ease of Use

The control panel is intuitive and features touch-sensitive buttons with an LED display. Program selection is simple, and the dishwasher gives real-time status updates. There’s also a Time Delay function, allowing you to delay the start of a wash cycle by up to 24 hours — helpful for running the dishwasher at off-peak electricity hours.
