Bosch SMS2HVI06G Series 2 Dishwasher Overview
The Bosch SMS2HVI06G Series 2 Freestanding Dishwasher is designed to make everyday washing up simpler, quieter and more energy efficient. With space for up to 14 place settings, it’s an excellent choice for busy family kitchens or anyone looking to reduce the time spent washing dishes by hand.
Combining dependable Bosch engineering with modern smart connectivity, this dishwasher allows you to control and monitor wash programmes through the Home Connect app, while practical features such as ExtraDry and a flexible basket system help deliver excellent cleaning results with less effort.
Whether you’re tackling breakfast dishes, heavily soiled roasting trays or delicate glassware, the SMS2HVI06G offers reliable performance day after day.
Powerful Cleaning That Fits Around Everyday Life
A dishwasher should make life easier, and that’s exactly what the Bosch SMS2HVI06G is designed to do. Multiple wash programmes allow you to choose the right cycle for everything from lightly used cups and glasses to heavily soiled pans after a family meal.
The generous 14 place setting capacity means you can comfortably wash:
- Plates, bowls and cutlery from larger family meals
- Pots, pans and oven dishes
- Glassware and mugs
- Everyday kitchen utensils
Running fewer loads can also help save time, water and energy compared to washing smaller batches.
Flexible Interior Makes Loading Easier
No two dishwasher loads are the same. That’s why Bosch has designed the interior to adapt to different cookware and tableware.
Features include:
- Height-adjustable upper basket for taller items below
- Foldable supports to help accommodate larger cookware
- Dedicated cutlery basket
- Well-organised layout that makes loading and unloading straightforward
This flexibility is particularly useful when cleaning everything from wine glasses to large serving dishes.
ExtraDry Delivers Better Drying Results
Plastic containers and reusable food storage boxes can often come out of a dishwasher with water droplets remaining.
The ExtraDry option increases drying performance, helping dishes, plastics and cookware come out drier and ready to put away sooner.
This can reduce the need for towel drying, especially after larger loads.
Quiet Performance for Open-Plan Homes
The Bosch EcoSilence Drive motor is designed to deliver dependable cleaning while keeping operating noise to a minimum.
For many households, this means you can comfortably run the dishwasher during the evening or overnight without it becoming intrusive.
The brushless motor is also designed for long-lasting, efficient operation with fewer moving parts than traditional motor designs.
Smart Control with Home Connect
The Bosch SMS2HVI06G supports Home Connect, allowing you to stay connected to your dishwasher using a compatible smartphone or tablet.
Depending on your preferences, you can:
- Start programmes remotely
- Monitor cycle progress
- Receive notifications when a cycle has finished
- Access additional programme options
- Save your favourite settings for quicker everyday use
This is especially useful for busy households where flexibility matters.
Favourite Function Saves Time
If you regularly use the same wash programme and options, the Favourite function allows you to save your preferred combination.
Instead of selecting multiple settings each time, your preferred programme can be started with a single touch.
It’s a small feature that makes everyday use more convenient.
Designed for Everyday Efficiency
Bosch has focused on delivering efficient cleaning performance while helping households manage everyday running costs.
Features that contribute to efficient operation include:
- Automatic water management
- Eco programme for lower energy consumption
- Efficient motor technology
- Full-load capacity to maximise each wash cycle
Using the appropriate programme for each load can help reduce unnecessary energy and water usage.

Practical benefits include:
- Fingerprint-resistant brushed steel finish that’s easier to keep looking clean
- Simple button controls with clear programme indicators
- Freestanding installation that suits many existing kitchen layouts
