Bosch Serie 8 Freestanding Dishwasher Stainless Steel

The Bosch Serie 8 Freestanding Dishwasher (SMS8ZDI86Q) represents Bosch’s top-tier dishwashing engineering, combining natural mineral drying, intelligent wash adaptability, and luxury interior design in a sophisticated brushed steel anti-fingerprint finish. Accommodating up to 13 international place settings while using just 9.5 liters of water per cycle, this full-size 60 cm freestanding model features a removable 30 mm worktop to slide beneath kitchen counters as a built-under appliance.

Drying performance is headlined by Bosch’s Zeolith Drying technology. Natural zeolite minerals stored inside the machine absorb moisture during the drying phase and convert it into warm, dry air that circulates throughout the tub, drying stubborn plastics, delicate stemware, and ceramics thoroughly while saving electricity. Driving the hydraulics is the brushless BLDC inverter motor (EcoSilence Drive), which operates without mechanical friction or carbon brushes, ensuring quiet acoustics, low energy draw, and long-term durability.

Loading versatility is anchored by the Max Flex Pro basket system and the Extra Space 3rd basket, providing 6 folding tines in the upper rack, 8 in the lower rack, anti-slip silicone strips, and a dedicated lower glass support rack. The upper rack includes Rackmatic 2-stage height adjustment to make immediate space for tall stemware or oversized baking dishes. Operating on Home Connect Wi-Fi, users can download specialized wash profiles, configure the Intelligent program to adapt based on post-wash feedback, and benefit from AquaStop lifetime leak protection. When opened, the interior is illuminated by EmotionLight ambient LEDs.
